Ford Fairlane 1955

Allmän beskrivning : VALUE PRICED '55 CROWN VIC, 292 Y-BLOCK V8, AUTO, VERY ORIGINAL, GREAT DRIVER!!

When you think of the 1950s on wheels, this is the car that comes to mind. Elegant, rare, and quite-period correct, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria can be your new crown jewel.
Fords were instantly recognizable with their sweeping chrome trim extending from the headlight all the way back to the tail – creating the perfect dividing line the two-tone red and white. Furthermore, it's easy to distinguish the Crown Victorias as the upper echelon of the already top-of-the-line Ford Fairlanes, because only these have the encompassing brightwork that visually separates the front and rear passenger compartments. And with Ford selling over five times more standard Fairlanes that the Crown Victorias these are true standouts. The total effect of all this added premium chrome gives this coupe the lower, wider, and longer appearance that everyone in Detroit strove for back then. Today it takes an exceptionally straight Ford like this one to wear all of the intricate brightwork correctly. And when you look at all the complete details – right down to the factory wheel covers with Ford family crest – and combine that with the condition of the presentation, people will mistake this one for a survivor. And that's exactly what we all love to see these days.
We also love it when the red and white theme is continued inside the car. The front seats have a great pattern, and they have a more individualized style than the standard bench. In the highest echelon of Ford coupes, even the rear seats got the same individual style treatment. But our favorite style element is how the door panels have a similar swoopy design to emulate the exterior trim. It even wraps into the dashboard in a continuous sweep. Just from sitting from behind the wheel, everything feels like a time machine back to the '50s, including the stylized steering wheel and plexiglass speedometer. Even the heater/defrost controls work, and the original AM radio is still on display! But because you want to use this one for driving, there are auxiliary readouts cleanly installed for oil, water, and power so you know exactly what's going on in the engine bay at all times.
The V8 badging on the front fender is no accident. Pop the hood and you'll find a 292 cubic-inch Ford Y-block V8 motor. That was an optional powerplant, and the valve covers remind you it was borrowed from Ford's ultimate personal cruiser, the Thunderbird. It's a not only one of the largest motors Ford offered back then, but it also came standard with a Holley four-barrel carburetor to give this coupe the power to be an anywhere kind of cruiser. And backing up this attitude today is good maintenance to ensure this classic fires up easily and runs smoothly. The V8 is mated to the optional two-speed automatic transmission, and the dual exhaust makes a nice sound as it stylishly exits through two slots in the rear bumper. It's these kind of luxury touches that keep the Fairlane Crown Victoria one of the coolest ways aimlessly wander the boulevard on a Saturday night.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
