Description:
Presenting a beautifully preserved and tastefully updated 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria — an American classic that blends original charm with thoughtful enhancements. This stunning 2-door hardtop sedan is finished in a striking black and red two-tone paint scheme and offers both originality and subtle modern refinements for classic motoring enthusiasts.
Beneath the sculpted hood sits the original 4.8-litre (292 cubic inch) V8 engine, producing a factory-rated 200 horsepower. This powerplant breathes through a Holley 4-barrel carburettor and features a custom Firebird-style engine air filter housing that adds flair under the bonnet.
A 3-speed manual transmission with the optional column-mounted overdrive handles shifting duties, providing the driver with improved cruising capabilities and fuel efficiency. The car runs smoothly and pulls confidently, befitting its heritage and design.
Manufactured at Ford’s Louisville, Kentucky plant, this Fairlane Victoria remains a proud representation of the post-war American motoring era. The odometer indicates 12,729 miles, believed to be original, reflecting its careful use and maintained condition over nearly seven decades.
The body and frame are straight and well-aligned, and the vehicle has recently undergone a full repaint in its factory-correct black and red combination. Chrome accents, trim pieces, and badges all present beautifully and contribute to the car's authentic visual appeal.
The cabin is equally impressive. It boasts an entirely new interior re-trimmed in period-style red and black vinyl upholstery, including seat covers and door panels. A fresh headliner has also been fitted, completing the clean and vibrant appearance of the passenger compartment.
Flooring has been replaced with brand-new carpeting, and custom floor mats have been added for protection and a personal touch. A new custom trunk liner and a matching spare tyre and jack were installed for practicality and peace of mind.
The dashboard and original steering wheel have been preserved in factory condition, and the vehicle features functional heat and air conditioning systems to enhance the comfort of modern driving. As initially specified, windows and door locks are manually operated.
A modern sound system has been seamlessly integrated and housed in custom interior mounting, respecting the car’s vintage styling while offering upgraded audio quality for today's driving experience.
The vehicle rides on brand-new tyres wrapped around a fresh set of wheels that complement the two-tone bodywork. The original drum brake system remains in place and performs reliably, keeping with the era.
Two sets of keys accompany ownership, and the car comes with a clean title. It has been garage-kept and cared for since being acquired by the current owner in August 2024.
Mechanically, the vehicle remains in strong running condition. It should be noted that there is a minor oil leak, a windshield wiper motor that functions intermittently, and a non-working horn—all relatively minor issues that do not affect the car’s drivability or core performance.
The Victoria’s 6-passenger seating configuration offers the perfect blend of spaciousness and intimacy, making it ideal for weekend cruises, local shows, or club events. Manual seat adjustment completes the classic driving experience.
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria delivers timeless Americana wrapped in steel and chrome—the look, sound, and feel of 1950s motoring at its best. It's a stylish, drivable time capsule.
Whether you're a Ford collector, a classic car enthusiast, or someone looking for a turn-key head-turner with character, this Fairlane Victoria is ready to impress.
Don’t miss the opportunity to own one of Ford’s most distinctive mid-century designs — one that’s been restored with care and tastefully enhanced to enjoy on today’s roads.
