Ford Customline 302 CID V8 1956

General description : Hold onto your hats and be ready to be blown away by this 1956 Ford Customline! Part of the second generation and final year of the Customline lineage, this 1956 Ford is truly the finest frame-off, rotisserie build restomod that we have seen. Nicknamed “Dearborn Dream", this beautiful Ford is a real showstopper. With new Kirker paint, the Aqua Blue and White Pearl ceramic coated job is the perfect color combination for this era of Ford. But let's not stop there- re-chromed bumpers and polished stainless trim, polished stainless-steel tubular grill, all new emblems, locks, windows, seals, hardware, and more make this '56 Customline essentially brand new. The only things that are not new are the original body panels. Inside is just as jaw dropping as the outside. Open the door and you're greeted to the flawless custom stitched two-tone interior. Sit inside and let the nostalgia of the 50's kick in. You can blast some tunes on the four pioneer speakers from either the AM/FM stereo, or connect your own device through the inputted USB and AUX ports. The center console is handmade polished stainless-steel paired tastefully to an iridescent Hurst Quarter stick shifter and fitted with tastefully accented lights. Take a look around and you will see nothing but a bright teal and pearl white color scheme with tasteful quilting- a clean interior that has essentially been untouched since completion. Open the hood, and the engine looks as clean as the rest of the vehicle. It's a professionally built 302 Ford dyno-tested 450HP. .030" over, 8.8:1 pistons, Vortech V-3 Si Supercharger and so much custom professional work to ensure not only quality of performance, but of aesthetic as well. The transmission is a Finishline Performance C6 modified valve body, “R" Servo, 11" 2500 Stall. The Rear end is an 8.8" Ford 3.73 Limited slip. The suspension is a RideTech ShockWave RideProX air ride on a sectioned, welded, and powder coated frame that includes a Mustang II front disc brakes and more. All sitting on top of Foose 18x8 Knuckle chrome wheels with Goodyear Eagle Sport tires. This car is a one of a kind super detailed frame off restomod. Everything was replaced or redone to ensure only the best for Dearborn Dream, even down to the replacements of every nut, bolt, and washer! Every piece of stainless steel has been polished! She is absolutely show ready and has already won awards since completion.

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
