1956 FORD VICTORIA for sale
Price: POA
AUCTION CAR:
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria is presented in the elegant factory delivered colour combination of Raven Black over Colonial White, with matching two-tone interior in White Vinyl and Black Cloth. According to its data plate, this car was built on March 14, 1956 at the Louisville, Kentucky plant.
An older restoration that has aged gracefully, the car still presents well inside and out. It was recently serviced, with all fluids checked and changed where needed, and the brakes adjusted. The inclusion of factory power steering enhances the usability and driving enjoyment of this already rare manual transmission coupe.
DRIVE-LINE:
Under the bonnet is the correct M-code 292ci Thunderbird Special Y-block V8, producing 200 horsepower with ample torque. This engine was a key upgrade for the Fairlane line, offering increased torque and smoother highway performance. The car is fitted with the rare factory three-speed manual transmission, giving the driver a more involved connection to the powertrain, and distinguishing it from the more common automatic-equipped examples.
This car is also equipped with factory power steering, significantly improving ease of use, particularly in low-speed driving or during parking. The car has been recently serviced, including fluid changes and a complete brake system adjustment, ensuring it is running reliably and ready for immediate use.
EXTERIOR:
Finished in its correct factory combination of Raven Black with Colonial White, this Fairlane Victoria Coupe remains striking and authentic. The paintwork retains excellent depth and gloss with various imperfections and minor corrosion under closer inspection. The body presents with straight body panels and clean shut lines throughout. The chrome bumpers, grille, and stainless trim are bright and well-maintained, showing only minor age-appropriate patina on some trim parts.
The distinctive side spear moldings that separate the two-tone paint scheme are present and correctly aligned, while the original steel wheels with factory correct Ford hubcaps complete the period-correct aesthetic. Overall, the exterior shows off the two tone paintwork and and chrome trim with great style.
INTERIOR:
The interior is trimmed in its factory correct White Vinyl and Black Cloth combination, and presents in tidy and well-kept condition. The bench seats, door trims, and headlining are clean and show only light signs of age. The dashboard, painted in matching two-tone, features the correct gauge cluster and chrome dash trim, all of which remain in fine condition with fully operational instruments.
The car retains its original steering wheel and column shifter, with no visible aftermarket modifications. The presence of factory power steering adds refinement to the driving experience without interrupting the cars period charm. Overall, the cabin is an inviting, authentic space that reflects the craftsmanship of mid-century American automotive design.
SUMMARY:
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria Coupe, , is an exceptional example of a top-of-the-line Ford pillarless coupe, presented in its correct AE paint code (Raven Black over Colonial White) and AD trim code (White Vinyl and Black Cloth). Powered by the factory 292ci Thunderbird Special V8, backed by the rare factory three-speed manual transmission, and equipped with factory power steering, this car represents a particularly desirable and hard-to-find combination.
With an older restoration that has stood the test of time, recent servicing and brake work, this Victoria is not only a beautiful example of mid-century style, but also a turn-key classic ready to drive and enjoy.
