Three Lifetime Owners Driven a Mere 324 Miles
The first owner of this 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Coupe purchased it brand new from a California dealership back in 1955 and had it until 1994. We were informed that this one underwent a Concours-level restoration in 2002 when the current owner purchased it, to bring all the existing parts and accessories to stunning factory condition. While no classic vehicle is ever truly perfect, a close inspection of this immaculate coupe doesn’t show any real flaws or blemishes throughout. The exterior body lines are simply flawless and the gloss black paint genuinely impresses against the extensive chrome work. The factory correct chrome hubcaps shown against the whitewall tires really completes this phenomenal look.
Additionally, the interior of this 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is easily one of the nicest we’ve ever seen outside of a museum. The original black on white color combination is spectacular and you’ll find countless impossible to find parts that have been in place since day one. Like the exterior, we are not seeing anything other than the most miniscule levels of wear to a stunning interior- the factory steering wheel, the awesome factory seating and all the gauges look like new.
Mechanically, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Coupe is every bit as impressive with a stage-quality engine compartment and a flawless undercarriage. It also performs beautifully out on the open road with superior handling and nice acceleration; you simply won’t find a more impressive model with these levels of care and refinement. Most collectors would consider this a like-new vehicle.
Complete Concours-Level Frame-Off Restoration
Overall, this 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is easily one of the most breathtaking, prestigious examples of a true survivor nationwide. It certainly would be right at home inside any classic museum or any pristine collection, so there’s simply no way that this one remains available for long. This classic would likely bring six figures at auction so it’s priced to sell- come see this amazing classic today!

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
