Hi,
We are new to this site and we have a 1956 Ford Fairlane 4 door town sedan, black. Are there any other members on here?

Trying to get joined up but it looks like this forum is going to be null.
I sure hope not.

Hi guys. Looks like we're pretty much it for now. I just bought a nice 2-door that needs complete rebuilding. Probably go street rod with it. I love these cars.
Merry Christmas

Hey Skip,
Merry Christmas to you too. I love them too and they do not get enough credit. No offense to 55-57 Chevy's but they are always in magazines and win all the shows. It is time for our cars to shine!! I hope we can more people on here, maybe get something started. Well, take care.

Hey Skip,
Forgot to ask..what all are you going to do with it....tub it out, or? I saw a picture of a 56 two door, tubbed out, ran 10's in the 1/4 mile and sold for $29,000. It was really nice.

Thinking about a really solid cruiser.
302 HO with an AOD disk brakes (or a Tremec 5-speed), power steering and all that.
Maybe jack up the rear end with a litlle "old style" California rake.
I just bought a nice early Bronco 9" rear end with the big Torino bearings and 11" brakes to replace the old grinder.
I graduated from high school in 1963, I always loved the 55-66 Ford cars, so I guess I'm stuck in the '60's.
I just scored a nice set of T-bird hard back buckets for the front.
Maybe a little GTO Daytona blue paint, steelies with trim rings and baby moons?
What do you think?
BTW, I have a really honking '62 F-100 SWB truck with an original 390 tri-power, complete with the cast iron exhaust manifolds.
Hope some more folks join in here.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi
I must not be too bright! I have been trying to join the 56 Ford Fairlane club, but when I click on "Join this club" I just get a black page. ???
I am beginning restoration on a Town Sedan that I have had for about 28 or 29 years.
