Vehicle Description

1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria

Exterior
With a true to form 50s color palette, we are greeted with
straight steel panels minding their gaps, and bathed in two tone
Mandarin Orange, and Colonial White. It is broken up by the
polished stainless steel of the now famous Fairlane strip which
flows gracefully from the top of the front fenders down the side of
the car and hits the taillights mid fender. Centered on the
Fairlane strip in the middle of the doors are great looking
badging emblems with gold crown, and silver Victoria in your
grandmothers handwriting. Along the rocker panels of the car
spotless stainless trim highlights pronounced rear fender skirts.
Perfect glass that is in excellent shape all around is accented by
the Crown Victoria exclusive chrome basket handle roof piece and
stainless window trim. The roof is pretty in Mandarin Orange. Out
back, the jet-age taillight lenses look new and are topped by a
small fin which houses the backup lights. The trunk is backed by a
Continental bumper complete with metal enclosed spare tire. Details
abound, with lightly tinted glass, lock cylinder covers all around,
and dual chromed exterior rear-view mirrors mounted on both doors.
Wide whites wrap polished wheel covers that have a centered
cloisonne Ford Badge.

Interior
Looking like it was plucked right out of a Silk City Dining Car,
the beautiful white and orange combo has a firm but comfortable
feel, as well as all the aesthetics that come with the mid 50s.
The door panels which mimic the "Fairlane Strip" are orange up top,
and white on the bottom. Climb in and youll be surrounded by
orange horizontal tufted inserts and ultra-wide white vinyl
bolsters which are on front and back benches. The back bench is
noteworthy as it has an armrest inserted and above is framed by a
multiple stepped "V" with the Ford logo inside...just beautifully
cool in its own way. These seats are fronted by a perfect dash, in
orange and white metal, and with all correct instruments. All this
is floating within an impeccable black thick pile carpet. The
headliner is just as impressive on the inside with the stainless
basket handle breaking it up, and in white vinyl. The trunk has had
the once over with the correct Ford gray plaid trunk liner.

Drivetrain
The original 272ci V8 is looking fine with its red painted block
and intake, black valve covers and a showroom condition gray oil
bath air cleaner, all complete with correct decals. Absolutely no
corrosion under the hood, supple hoses and a pristine radiator. On
top of the engine, we see a single 2-barrel carburetor, and on the
back is a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. All power
goes rearward to a Ford 9-inch rear with 3.31 gearing.

Undercarriage
Very clean and definitely rust-free environment with a now black
and patina environment. Black frame and drivetrain, and factory
undercoated floor pans that show nothing but road dirt. For the
suspension we note very well-kept independent coil springs in
front, and leaf springs on the rear. Drum brakes are all around,
and a rust-free dual exhaust system with glasspack style mufflers
has been installed.
