Ford Crown Victoria 272 Y Block 1955
General description :
This 1955 Ford Crown Victoria is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The 1955 Crown Victoria or Vicky was direct competition to Chevy’s now Iconic Bel Air model. The Crown Victoria would have a very distinct chrome B pillar that ran from one side of the car to the other making it stand out in a crowded marketplace. This 55 Vicky has been brought back to life with full restoration performed a little over 6900 miles car. The red paint is classic Americana with the white accent color making the red look that much redder. All the chrome on the car was either buffed or replaced during the restoration giving it a luster that only these cars can produce. Those big white wall tires look great on the car being Under the hood is the original 272 engine which starts right up without any fuss. The Offenhauser valve covers are a nice touch and add a little extra flare to the engine bay. The exhaust manifolds are running directly to those classic and cool side pipes that are 100% functional and give the car that old school hotrod sound. The cruise-o-matic transmission shifts out nicely and allows for a much more soothing drive than the old three on tree that most of these had. Inside is like a time capsule with the interior being exactly what you would see in 1955. The red and white bring the exterior inside and remind you why these cars are still sought after 60 years later. If you have been wanting a great American classic that is just a little different this Vicky is the perfect fit. Options on this 1955 Ford Crown Victoria include, AM Radio, Vinyl Interior, Hub Caps, and Bias Ply Wide White Wall tires.For more details on this 1955 Ford Crown Victoria, please call our Louisville Showroom at 812-294-1555, or email Louisville@gatewayclassiccars.com.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
