1956 Ford Fairlane

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to present this lovely 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria. 56 'Vickys' are the darlings of the 50s custom scene and honorable mentions in the drag and hot-rodding world. For 56 Ford refined the styling and made safety enhancements to the lineup that improved offering for 1956. This 1956 Ford is a great running car. Thanks to the healthy 292ci V8 and smooth shifting 3 speed Ford-O-Matic automatic. Starts right up and goes about its business with no fuss.

Externally you're greeted with a rust free and solid two door hardtop finished in a white and mint green two tone. The chrome presents well, and all the trim is present and accounted for. The door closes with a reassuring 'thump' and the body panels line up well. The car does show signs of being an older restoration but will serve fine as a high-level driver or drama free base for full restoration or custom. Speaking of custom, this car is equipped with the Ford optional Continental kit with a personal touch of "Little Darling" across the spare wheel cover. Additionally, factory hubcaps wrapped in thin white walls add a touch of class.

Inside the car follows the exterior pattern with mint green and white vinyl and cloth bench seats with matching painted dash and carpet. No rips or tears, looks very presentable.

When you're riding down the road this 1956 Victoria treats you to lots of attention and that classic V8 rumble. The car is equipped with power steering, unfortunately, this car has no power brakes but stops very well. Overall, this is a great weekend cruiser or occasional daily that presents well enough for casual shows and will be a proud addition to any collection.
