The 1955 Ford line-up featured fresh styling, as Ford had to keep up with its competitors. Beneath the skin, it was largely the same as the 1952 Ford. It was offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two and four door hardtops, convertibles, station wagons and even the coupe utility style. This 1956 Ford Victoria is in two-door hardtop form and is said to have been fully restored. With a mere 68,700 miles on the clock, this fine example of Fifties Blue Oval motoring is an ideal first classic car for the budding enthusiast.
Sporting a two-tone blue and white exterior theme, this 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Victoria is representative of the automotive paint colors and styling trends at the time. The Fifties were seeing bright colors emerge, replacing the dark shades of black and gray that prevailed in the previous decade. The Jet Age was also gripping America in its captivating glory, and cars sported many jet aircraft-esque themes. These include the wrap-around windshield and rear tailfins, as displayed by this 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Victoria. Furthermore, the car sports plenty of chrome, another Fifties trend that would continue well into subsequent decades. The interior of this 1956 Ford Victoria is also in blue and white, and includes bench seats at the front and rear. This was very common during the time, and enabled up to six adults to cram themselves into cars like this, and travel merrily. Then, you’ve got an Art Deco-styled dashboard, a push-button radio, and a heater. There’s also a decent amount of trunk space behind the passenger cabin, since cars like this were often bought and used by families.
This 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Victoria features a 292ci V8 which comes from Ford’s Y-Block engine family. The engine was factory rated for 162hp at a low 4,400rpm, and drives the rear wheels through a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox. The car features drum brakes on all four wheels, which are surprisingly capable, but you’ve got to be aware that it’s a Fifties car, and hence not going to perform like 2024’s models. So, sit back, enjoy the ride, and take in the smiles of appreciative passers-by as you cruise in this timeless classic.

Named after Fair Lane, Henry Ford’s sprawling and opulent Dearborn mansion, the Ford Fairlane name has been around for the Americas, as well as Australia over time. That has spawned two distinctive lines of Fairlane. Suffice to say, this 1956 Ford Fairlane is an American Fairlane. It’s from the first generation and comes to you from Fort Worth, Texas. If you’d like to be the next custodian of this smart and historically significant American automobile, why not contact us? After all, classic Fords are a great way to take a weekend drive to wash away the stresses and discombobulation of a hectic week.
The Ford Fairlane is a well-known Fifties automobile from the legendary company founded by Henry Ford. In fact, Fair Lane is the name of Henry Ford’s sprawling Dearborn-based estate, which was named after the place in Ireland where his adoptive grandfather was born. Naming a model after your founder’s home is indeed a fine accolade, and the Ford Fairlane lived up to its expectations. Seven generations were made between 1955 and 1970, and here’s where another iconic Ford nameplate was born – Crown Victoria. That’s what we have here, a 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria from the first generation of the Fairlane series and with just 1,320 miles on the. The car comes with a 272ci Y-block V8, a manual transmission and a two-tone paint job. It’s the perfect classic car for fans of American automobiles, especially those who have an affinity for Fords.
The Ford Fairlane is a legendary name in the Blue Oval’s history, and fittingly, it takes its name from Henry Ford’s famed estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Introduced in 1955, the Fairlane spawned a variety of trims and offshoots—including the Crown Victoria and the 500—that helped define the mid-century American driving experience. While the Fairlane name was also used in overseas models, nothing beats the charm of an original American-built Sunliner like this one. Presented here is a beautifully restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, located in Holtsville, New York, with just over 7,000 miles since its restoration. Among its standout features are a Continental Kit, Searchlight Mirrors, and a glove box signed by Gale Halderman—the man who not only worked on redesigning the ’57 Fairlane but also went on to pen the first-generation Mustang. According to the seller, full restoration documentation and photos are available upon request.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
Many of our customers are familiar with the Cadillac automotive brand name. This luxury vehicle division of General Motors is going strong to this day, offering buyers options ranging from sedans to SUVs. However, with this listing, we are going back in time where Post-War Luxury was a thing. There’s always a brilliant, rich story that comes with cars like this. Fleetwood Metal Body was an automobile coachbuilder founded in the early 1900s that was acquired by GM in 1925. As Cadillac became more selective in offering bodies after 1934, this well-preserved 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is worth adding to your classic collection. This gem awaits in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its next lucky buyer.
The Packard Motor Company of Detroit is yet another one of those great American automakers who fell by the wayside as automotive brands converged and conglomerated in the ’50s and ’60s. Before World War II, Packard was well-regarded for producing luxury automobiles, and after the War, they maintained their luxury car lineup. Things came to a halt in 1962 when they merged with Studebaker, and the Packard name died away. However, you can still find a classic Packard around if you look hard enough. Here’s a 1951 Packard 300 up for sale, with a complete restoration on it, and even a reprint of the original owner’s manual included with the sale. There are still a few more things to be done to make this car concourse-fresh, but these are easily addressed, minor foibles that you can put right in a jiffy – the hard work has already been done during the restoration.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
