1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria

In the mid-1950s, the Crown Victoria was the king of the Ford Fairlane series — named after Henry Ford Senior's Fair Lane estate in Dearborn, Michigan — and is seen as one of the most recognizable models in Ford's long and rich history. This particular Fairlane Crown Victoria was brought back to its former glory thanks to a body-off-the-frame restoration. It wears its original colors of Meadow Mist Green and Colonial White, which combine with the flashy chrome trim to catch the eyes of almost everyone it drives by.

As the VIN shows, the 'R' means this Crown Victoria was first assembled at the San Jose, California plant, and the 'M' means it was born with the 292 cid Thunderbird V-8 engine — one of the more desirable engine options of the time, producing 193 HP. Other unique features include dual side view mirrors, fender skirts, front and rear bumper guards, a rear-mounted continental kit, and power steering. The interior sports matching Meadow Mist Green and Colonial White upholstery, nicely optioned with an AM radio, heater, and clock.

A vehicle that will never lose its dramatic flare and place in Ford history.
