    My father had a 1956 Ford Station wagon, 2 dr., it had a Thunderbird engine under the hood, I used to back it in and out of our driveway, since I wasn't old enough to drive on the streets. He bought it from my Uncle Tommy, used it for a work car, the frame finally rusted through, as those cars were notorious for rust...it brought back fond memories...Thanks!

    I certainly have some comments on this car. First off,,, the 55 Crown is my favoritecar. I did own one many years ago. Now,,, of note,,, there is no cottage cheese around the master cylinder so I hope it has silicone brake fluid. Really it is an impressive car.Of note,,,, no big shot has destroyed this car by installing spotlights. I hate em and if you ever installed a spotlight,,, you know how much damage is being done to the car.Amazing shine on everything. The lucky person that gets this car will certainly be a proud owner of a very special car that was not easy to get it in this tip top like new shape. So,, I say,,, WOW. I really like it. Just amazing to view.

    Depends on the use. The 55s and 56s were great handlers on the dirt tracks, but the A-Frames often just broke apart. The Y-Blocks also were known as having weak rods. The differentials were about indestructible, and the trannys respectable.
    I still remember the round radio and the "sun roof" for the speedometer housing.
    Incredible car, this. The stuff in the showrooms was rarely this well detailed.

    This has to be Ford's top of the line model for 1955. Really beautiful copper upholstery inserts. I never knew Ford offered power windows for'55. Perhaps they started offering them even a few years earlier. I think Mercury was the first car to offer power windows on a standard passenger vehicle and this began with their 1942 model year.

  • @CletusHunnicutt
    @CletusHunnicutt 13 лет назад +1

    Always been a favorite of mine...even though I don't REALLY own one. Die cast model with the plexi-glass top. I think it was the same one Peggy Sue rode home in from school when she first woke up in the past...in Peggy Sue Got Married. Beautiful car.

    @burrexkeefAGAIN It's definitely one of the most beautiful cars from that time period. I do like the skyline version with the plexi top...those were very cool. This particular car is one of the most well-preserved I've seen. It's really a beauty from any angle. Thanks for checking it out!

    Those tubular bumper guards are rare on any car of that era. However they are still commonly seen in Cuba. Even that interior colour is very cool and unusual!

    • @packard5682
      @packard5682 6 лет назад +2

      I hate those damn things!! They just ruin the looks of the car!! Makes it look like it has guard rails around the front. The Cubans can have all of them as far as I am concerned!

    • @montymatilda
      @montymatilda 6 лет назад

      I thought the guards were kinda cool. A neighbor (Ford salesman) across the street when I was a kid in the '60's had one for his wife. All black w/ skirts, kit and guards.

  • @1marco7kamp

    Ford should really make a modern version of the original fairlane Crown Victoria, like what Jaguar did with the Eagle Speedster. That would be awesome! :)

    • @ddkoda
      @ddkoda 8 лет назад

      I agree. That would be very nice. However with Ford as with any other car company it's a numbers game. If market research shows that they won't sell at least 50,000 units of a new model coming out of the gate they probably aren't interested in producing it especially since all of the original dies have most likely been scrapped by now. Also Ford quit producing rear drive sedans and body on frame automobile platforms in 2011.
      It's a good thought though. All we have to do is to convince enough people that this is a worthy endeavor.

    • @1marco7kamp
      @1marco7kamp 8 лет назад

      You mean convince Ford to make it again, as a special car?

    • @ddkoda
      @ddkoda 8 лет назад +1

      Well yes, I see your point. I guess that as you stated reproducing a 1955 Fairlane would have to be done on a specialty car basis without Ford hoping to make a large volume of sales. However as you said Jaguar did have a special run of the Eagle Speedster and Ford may feel the same way opting for a significant public relations benefit without expecting to come close to recouping the cost of production.

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with the modern Crown Vics. They're obviously not as cool as the oldies, but their still great cars. I had a 2000 Grand Marquis as a daily driver, until I hit a deer recently. I've been looking at a lot of Crown Vic police interceptors lately as a possible replacement.

    Very very nice car! 50's american cars are my favourite, when i got my driving license 1 year ago i could only afford (i wanted a classic car, and didn't want at all a 2010 Kia Sorento my father wanted to give me) a 1979 Citroën Dyane 6 convertible, which mechanics comes from the30's,an extremely simple car known to be "unrollable" but good enough to be 18...

    @USCG.Brennan 6 лет назад +2

    1. Because this is a "Crown" Vicky, you should have focused somewhat and explained to the newbies WHY it's called a Crown....
    2. The Continental Kit was not a "common option" but more a rare and expensive one. VERY few '55 Fords had these back then because of the cost.

    • @packard5682
      @packard5682 6 лет назад +2

      My parents bought new a 55 Ford Sunliner convertible and it came with fender skirts and a Continental Kit. The car was solid black with a yellow and black interior. It had a black convertible top that was made out of a rayon type fabric, not the vinyl. The top material had a satin like sheen to it but it didn't stay nice very long. My dad said that it started to fade to a gray in about a year so he had it replaced with a white vinyl type top. Also, he tired of the Continental kit because it made it hard to get into the trunk and with the added weight to the rear of the car, it made the car drive a little strange and after about a year, he took it off and the car drove like a dream after that. I was born just before they bought the car. I remember the car very well but I never remembered the Continental kit or the black top. To me, the Continental kit does not improve the appearance of the car and actually ruins the rear view of the car, but old farts just love them and have to have them! I asked my dad what he did with his Continental kit and he said that it went to the scrap yard because you couldn't give them away, at that time!

    • @montymatilda
      @montymatilda 6 лет назад

      I agree about the Continental Kit for the most part. There were some out there that only went about the tire kit itself and back to the bumper. No park bench on each side of the tire, just normal. But, better without them altogether.
