The Ford Fairlane was an automobile model that was sold between 1955 and 1970 by Ford in North America. The name was derived from Henry Ford's estate, 'Fair Lane', near Dearborn, Michigan and over time the name referred to a number of different cars in different classes; the Fairlane was initially a full-sized car, but became a mid-sized car from the 1962 model year. In 1956 Ford replaced the P-code 292 V8 engine with an optional new 312 'Thunderbird Special V8' version of the Y-Block as ordered in this particular example from the most desirable 1956 year. The 312 4BBL 'Interceptor' V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through the gears.
This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored as necessary over the years of an otherwise very stock and original California owned since new 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner Convertible. It is a great daily driving example in very fine original condition throughout with it's original highly desirable 312 V8 Thunderbird engine!
