About the 1955-1956 Ford Fairlane
The 1955-1956 Ford Fairlane was the first Fairlane, introduced for 1955 as the new top trim line of the full-size Ford, replacing the Crestline. It rode the 115.5 inch wheelbase full-size Ford chassis and took its name from Fair Lane, Henry Ford's estate in Dearborn. Power came from the 223 cubic inch overhead-valve six or Y-block V8s of 272 and 292 cubic inches, with the 312 Thunderbird Special V8 joining for 1956. The line included the stainless-banded Crown Victoria, the transparent-roof Crown Victoria (the glass-top car known as the Skyliner), and the Sunliner convertible.
The story
I just retired and purchased the 56 in Idaho to finish restoring and drive. Trailered it home in a snowy blizzard with my 04 Dodge 4x4 for 450 miles. I went nice and easy during the 9 hr. trip. Everything still functions including the radio. But I am replacing the fuel pump and fuel lines. My first oldie since my 15 yr. old daughter and I rebuilt a 1967 Mustang 17 yrs. ago. To heck with my wife's honey-do retirement list of chores! · Hermit
