1956 Ford Fairlane VICTORIA

A SURVIVOR CAR THAT WAS IN ENCLOSED STORAGE FOR 35 YEARS, NOT WASHED OR WET. THE UPHOLSTERY, ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN ARE COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND THE PAINT LOOKS FLAWLESS. IT HAS THE 292 V8, FORD-O-MATIC 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND 4 BARREL CARB. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REWORKED, THE EXHAUST REPLACED, AND THE CAR HAS NO RUST. WE HAVE SOME HISTORY ON THE CAR AND UNDERSTAND IT WAS SOLD NEW IN DENVER, CO. AN ATTORNEY IN JONESBORO, GA PURCHSED IT AT AN AUCTION IN THE MID 1980S AND HE KEPT IT IN A GARAGE UNTIL IT WAS SOLD LOCALLY TO A FRIEND. HE KEPT IT ABOUT 6 YEARS UNTIL IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE MAN WE BOUGHT IT FROM. THE ORIGINAL FORD INTAKE AND 4 BARREL CARBURETOR IS IN THE TRUNK. IT WAS REPLACED WITH A 1957 INTAKE AND NEW HOLLY CARB. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT ABOUT 16 YEARS AGO ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING, NOT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE OPERATION. THIS IS A CHROME LADEN PIECE OF AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY MADE FOR BOULEVARD CRUISING OR SHOWING OFF. THE 48,000 MILES ARE EVIDENTLY CORRECT AND EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE CLOCK AND AM RADIO.
