1955 Crown Victoria glass-top data plate info:  serial or VIN numbers # U5SF151113#; body or style numbers 64B.  The 64B is the body # given for all glass-tops including 1956.  They were only built for 2 years.  1955 production number was 1,900; in 1956 only 603 for a total of 2,503.  That’s all the glass-tops Ford ever made.  This is a RARE car.  This is a chance to own one and get it restored.  This glass-top is also a RARE model built in 1955.  It was called an “M” coded model.  It came fully loaded from the factory:  P/S, P/B, P/W, 4-way seat, high performance 272 engine with 4-barrell carburetor and factory dual exhaust with automatic transmission, rear radio speaker, 2-tone paint, factory spotlight, sun-x tinted glass, www tires. Now the unique story of this glass-top.  The car was purchased in Massachusetts in 1962 for which the owner has a bill of sale.  The car was stored in a barn in 1964 while the owner attended school in Europe.    To make a long story short, one of the beams in the barn broke from a heavy snow load and fell on the passenger side rear quarter window section breaking the quarter window and damaging the roof line which caused a long crack in the glass roof and minor roof damage.   When the owner returned he had the car removed and put in a garage where it was taken apart.   He removed all of the interior, head liner, power seats and rear seats, door panels, rear quarter panels.  He also removed all the outside stainless steel.  The grille was removed and was sent away for re-plating.  The front and rear bumpers and bumper guards were sent away for re-plating also.  A new glass top was also ordered at a hefty price.  To this day the glass top is still wrapped in the factory wrapping.  The bumpers and grille are also still wrapped.  You can see them in the pictures of the open door of the trailer.   If you look carefully on the left hand side you’ll find the bumpers and on the right hand side you will find the glass top wrapped in plastic wrapping.  Underneath the glass you have the front windshield and the rear glass and a box of all new glass rubbers for all the new glass.  Now after 4 or 5 years he thought he found a body shop that could do the job and that just didn’t work out.   The car stayed in the shop for a few years.  Later he found another place but that didn’t work out either.  Then he called me.  I knew of the right guy. Specializes in Crown Victorias and glass tops.  He made arrangements to have it done and sent it to him.  For some reason I don’t know they couldn’t agree on a price and money was even scarcer than it was before so it stayed there, outside, for many, many years. All the time that it was there the shop owner tried to keep the body covered and away from the weather.   In reality you still have a 1955 Crown Victoria glass top, complete car that still hasn’t been repaired.  All the good stuff, glass top, and chromed articles, seats and upholstery were stored away.  The only thing that was left out was the body that was pretty well emptied years ago.   Somewhere during that time there was some vandalism and someone had taken the electric power window units but left the glass and everything else.  This spring after mud season the job was to get some tires on the body, free up the wheels and get it out from its resting place on to a rollback car carrier and back some 60 miles to 3 Falcon Place, Waterville, Maine where all the stored parts were moved to.
