The Ford Fairlane was sold between 1955 and 1970 by Ford in North America. The the 1955 model year Fairlane replaced the Crestline as Ford's premier full-sized offering. Six different body styles were offered, including the Crown Victoria Skyliner with a tinted, transparent plastic roof, the Crown Victoria Coupe with lots of stainless steel trim, a convertible Sunliner, the Victoria hardtop coupe, and traditional saloons. All featured the trademark stainless steel Fairlane stripe on the side. Power options were a 3.7 Litre straight-6 engine and a 4.5 Litre V8. The 4.8 Litre Y-block was offered as an option and was called the Thunderbird V-8.
Few changes were made for 1956; a four-door Victoria hardtop and two new, more powerful V8 options, of 4.8 Litres and 5.1 litres were introduced. The Lifeguard safety package was introduced. The two-door Victoria hardtop featured a new and slimmer roofline. A one-year only two-door station wagon, the 1956 Ford Parklane, featured Fairlane-level trim.
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan with the Thunderbird V8 Option was imported from the USA in January 2017. It is described by the vendor as being a very good example of this rare option car. The car is UK registered and has had over £3,000 spent on re-chroming, new whitewall tyres and a new exhaust. The desirable Y-block V8 runs very well and the car is said to drive without fault. There are some invoices with the car and some handbooks. Altogether this is a a very sound car with good paintwork, good mechanicals, and with a very desirable specification.
