1956 Ford 2 Door Coupe Fairlane Victoria on 2040-cars

              UP FOR BID IS A VERY NICE 1956 FORD FAIRLANE VICTORIA 2 DOOR COUPE, THE SPORTY SASSY SISTER TO THE CROWN VICTORIA

LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE REBUILT ECZ-A 292 ENGINE WITH THUNDERBIRD ECZ-G CYLINDER HEADS, CORRECT ECZ 9510-A LIST 1162 TEAPOT 4 BBL CARBURETOR (the carburetor was sent out and professionally rebuilt) , NEW VACUUM AND FUEL LINES, RESTORED 4 BBL AIR CLEANER, EXHAUST MANIFOLDS EDB 9431 A&B. THIS ENGINE RUNS AND SOUNDS STRONG.  MUCH MORE DONE UNDER THE HOOD, ALL CORRECT AND ORIGINAL RESTORED. 

VIN NUMBER: M6SV146884. M=292 CI ENGINE, 6=1956, S=SUMMERVILLE MA. ASSEMBLY PLANT, V=FORD VICTORIA, 146884=46,884TH FORD

DATA PLATE: 64C LE AN 6B 212. 64C=VICTORIA, LE= PEACOCK BLUE (L) AND COLONIAL WHITE (E), AN=PEACOCK CLOTHAND WHITE VINYL INTERIOR, 6B=SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION ON FEBRUARY 6, 1956, 212=ORDER NUMBER.

I REMOVED THE ENGINE AND HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT (See pics of engine coming out). WHILE THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED , I DETAILED THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (see pics of firewall painting), REPLACED SEVERAL WIRING HARNESSES, NEW BATTERY TRAY, NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY HOLD DOWN, NEW BATTERY CABLES. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT AT LARRYS, TEE-BIRD PRODUCTS, DENNIS CARPENTER, PLUS INDIVIDUAL PARTS SUPPLIERS FOR NEW ORIGINAL PARTS.  NEED PROOF, I WILL CONVEY ALL PARTS INVOICES TO THE BUYER.

THE PAINT JOB IS ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD AND IT STILL HOLDS A NICE SHINE. I RECENTLY HAD A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER TOUCH UP A FEW FLAWS IN THE PAINT. INCLUDED WITH THE CAR ARE BOTH CANS OF COMPUTERIZED MATCHED BLUE AND WHITE PAINT. BOTH VENT WINDOWS ARE ORIGINAL AND THEY HAVE DEVELOPED AIR BUBBLES, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. 

HEY, CHECK OUT THE ' 56 MERCURY COLOR DIVIDER STAINLESS STEEL TRIM I ADDED JUST UNDER THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS (see pics of painting). THIS TRIM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE, BUT IT ADDS SUCH A NICE TOUCH TO THE '56 VICKY AS DOES THE ORIGINAL "DOG DISH" F O R D HUBCAPS AND BEAUTY RINGS. (I have two of the original full wheel Ford hubcaps) 

I ADDED NEW CORRECT OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS, NEW CORRECT ANTENNA, NEW STONE GUARDS ON THE FENDER SKIRTS, NEW TRUNK EMBLEM BEZEL, NEW "FAIRLANE" HOOD SCRIPT, NEW TRUNK MAT, (the white color on the matt is a camera shadow), CORRECT ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE RETAINER AND WING NUT, NEW HEATER CORE, THE RADIATOR WAS SENT OUT AND RESTORED, 4 NEW RADIAL WIDE WHITEWALLTIRES. THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO IS THE DESIRED "TOWN & COUNTRY STYLE. THERE IS ALSO IS AN AFTER MARKET AM/FM RADIO WITH DUAL REAR SPEAKERS GIVING THE VICKY SOME COOL TUNES.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND ABSOLUTLY NO RUST. I HAVE NOT DETAILED TOO MUCH OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE BUT I DID PAINT A COAT OF POR-15 CHASSIC FENDER BLACK PAINT ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS, FRAME, CROSS MEMBERS, AND AND LEAF SPRINGS. THERE IS STILL SIGNS OF OIL THAT LEAKED FROM THE ENGINE PRIOR TO THE  REMOVAL AND REBUILD. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE REBUILT ENGINE DOES NOT LEAK A DROP OF OIL ! 

MY RESERVE IS LOW ENOUGH TO ALLOW PLENTY OF $$ ROOM TO DETAIL THE UNDERCARRIAGE CORRECTLY AND REPLACE THE VENT WINDOWS.

I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO BRING THIS VICTORIA BACK TO IT'S ORGINAL BEAUTY OF YESTERYEAR
