About the 1955–1956 Ford Fairlane
from the generation archive
The 1955–1956 Ford Fairlane (Fairlane (1955-1956)) collection here shows off everything from gleaming black coupes with white-wall tires and chrome-laden grilles to two-tone green and white beauties displayed hood-up at shows. You'll find original dashboards and glove box details alongside creative builds like a coupe converted into a truck bed, plus nostalgic drive-in props with fake burgers and milkshakes tucked in the trunk.
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
