4763-TPA 1955 FORD FAIRLANE TOWN SEDAN
This 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan boasts a unique distinction - it's one of only 113,000 four-door sedans produced that year. The exterior flaunts a bold two-tone paint scheme: Regatta Blue and Waterfall Blue. Chrome trim runs along the flanks, dipping at the driver's door to emphasize the color divide. A wide grille dominates the front, while Thunderbird-inspired taillights add flair to the rear. The Fairlane sits on 15-inch wheels with 205/75R15 Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials, combining classic wide whitewall aesthetics with modern tire technology.
Inside, the Fairlane showcases authentic 1950s automotive design. Dark blue vinyl and medium blue cloth adorn the bench seats, delivering both comfort and period-correct style. The dash, color-matched to the door jambs and panels, features a unique Plexiglas window speedometer - a hallmark of 1950s innovation. An aftermarket Bluetooth radio provides modern connectivity, while a Vintage Air unit mounted below the dash offers cooling without compromising the original look. The original steering column remains, preserving the genuine feel of piloting this classic Ford.
The 272 cubic inch Y-Block V8 engine, identifiable by its ECG-A casting code, powers this Fairlane. This powerplant, with its 2-bolt mains and single-barrel carburetor, exemplifies mid-50s Ford engineering. It's mated to a 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission for smooth operation. A dual exhaust system produces a rich, mellow tone. Power drum brakes provide reliable stopping power. The upgrade from 6V to 12V electrical system enhances dependability, powering features like crystal-clear headlights and an electric condenser fan. The suspension - A-arms with coil springs up front, leaf springs in the rear - delivers a ride that's true to the original character of this classic sedan.
