This 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is a beautifully preserved example of mid-century American automotive elegance. Completed in the 1990s, the car underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration, restoring it to factory-correct specifications while preserving the authenticity and charm that make the Crown Victoria one of the most iconic vehicles of the era. Decades later, the car still shows exceptionally well, a testament to both the quality of the restoration and the care it has received since.
Finished in a classic and eye-catching Mountain Green and Snowshoe White two-tone paint scheme, this Crown Victoria perfectly captures the bold styling and distinctive flair of the 1950s. Chrome trim, brightwork, and the signature stainless steel "basket handle" roof trim exclusive to the Crown Victoria model remain intact and gleam with period-correct beauty. The stance is further enhanced by a set of wide white wall tires mounted on steel wheels with correct factory hubcaps, completing its vintage appeal.
Under the hood, this Crown Victoria is powered by a 272 cubic inch Y-block V8, Ford's original overhead-valve V8, paired with a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain remains faithful to the original specifications, offering a smooth, comfortable, and authentic driving experience. The car still operates on its original 6-volt electrical system, maintaining its vintage character while showcasing its well-preserved originality.
Inside, the cabin features a striking and period-correct turquoise and white vinyl interior that has been beautifully restored to match its factory appearance. The all-original style upholstery and trim look fantastic, from the two-tone bench seating to the color-matched door panels and dash. This interior is a step back in time, capturing the optimistic, vibrant spirit of the 1950s. Even the original AM radio remains in place, giving the dashboard a truly authentic touch.
From top to bottom, this Crown Victoria presents as a garage-kept and well-maintained classic, and it continues to be a car that garners attention and admiration wherever it goes. While it's been decades since its restoration, the vehicle still shows great overall, reflecting years of careful preservation and light, respectful use.
This 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria is more than just a collector car-it's a rolling piece of American history. With its striking two-tone paint, period-correct interior, classic V8 power, and smooth automatic transmission, it offers a chance to own and enjoy one of Ford's most celebrated mid-century designs. Whether you're looking for a show car, a weekend cruiser, or an addition to a curated collection, this Crown Vic is sure to impress and delight.
