Ford Fairlane 292 V8 1955

Allmän beskrivning : VERY PRETTY IN ITS ORIGINAL COLORS & REMAINS VERY STOCK, SMOOTH 292 V8! NICE!

Only 1950s cars can wear pastels properly, and as this 1955 Ford Fairlane Victoria proves, you need the right curves to really pull it off. Classically dressed, this nicely detailed and well-finished Vicky captures the perfect 1950s vibe of sock hops, drive-ins, and doo-wop music on the radio, all in a very appealing package.
I know two-tone blue isn't for everyone, but if you grew up back in the '50s, then cars like this hold a very special appeal. Code XD Regatta Blue and Waterfall Blue are this car's original combination, so the two-tone combination is entirely appropriate on the flashy Ford and definitely looks like it belongs there. Of course, with this much attention-grabbing charisma, they made sure to get the bodywork nice and straight before applying the pastel hues and despite a few years of hitting the local cruise nights, it still looks great. It shows age, but it could almost pass for nice original paint, so it's got that going for it. They used factory break lines on the body to make it authentic and that sweeping stainless side spear provides the perfect place to separate the colors. All the stainless and chrome is in good order and fights the bright paint for your attention; there are a few dings here and there, but nothing worth noting. Gorgeous bumpers with oversized guards, the jet-inspired taillights, and classic concave grille give it a wonderful look that's impossible to ignore.
The interior matches the bodywork, but it's a lot more subdued so it's easy to live with. The patterns on the bench seats look authentic and it matches the door tag that says it's code AY Medium Blue and Light Blue vinyl. It's possible that it's original and it's showing some age, with the only notable upgrade being a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo in its own little box under the dash. The rest, however, is completely stock, including the rounded speedometer with Plexiglas window in the back and the three round pods in the center that handle heat, entertainment, and time. The big steering wheel has a few cracks but remains a fantastic way to handle your Vicky and if you've ever driven a T-Bird, it'll look very familiar indeed. Everything is in decent shape, showing minor signs of use and age, and like the exterior, if you like the colors, you're going to love hanging out in here. The trunk is neatly finished with a correct mat as well as a matching wide whitewall radial, just in case.
That is in fact a 292 cubic inch Y-block V8 engine which provides good performance and a bubbly attitude. It's correctly dressed in Ford Red engine enamel and wears simple stamped steel Ford valve covers. Again, it's somewhere between nicely preserved original and older restoration, although the shiny radiator is newer, the carb has been recently rebuilt and the fuel pump looks recent. The oil bath air cleaner, the 12-volt electrical system, and the familiar Y-block cast iron exhaust manifolds all reinforce the old-school vibe. The underside is also nicely preserved, with the light blue floors making a great background for the satin black frame and suspension components. A car like this will, of course, include an automatic transmission and the original rear end hangs on a set of recent shocks. Glasspack-style mufflers offer a punchy '50s sound that's nice and mellow, and the original hubcaps are framed by 205/75/15 wide whitewall radials.
Classic colors and fun driving manners make this car a winner, so if you like the '50s and want to get some attention, this is an affordable way to do it. Call today!

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.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
