Named after Henry Ford's sprawling Dearborn estate, the Fairlane started life as Ford's full-size automobile in 1955. The Fairlane was well-received and available in several body styles, including two- and four-door sedans, hardtops, station wagons, convertibles, and even a coupe utility for the Australian market. Today, well-kept first-generation examples such as this 1955 Ford Fairland 2-Door Club Sedan are sought after by discerning collectors. This particular car reportedly received a repaint approximately 15 years ago. The current owner also discloses that it comes with a numbers-matching motor and transmission but lacks documentation to prove it. Never mind, the condition and sheer classic value of this car more than compensate. Let's see what it offers.
Exterior and Interior
Two-tone pastel hues, such as the white and blue paint job on this 1955 Ford Fairland 2-Door Club Sedan, represent peak Fifties Americana. The world was moving away from the dark colors of the Forties, and color palettes exploded with dizzying arrays of options for buyers. Sitting pretty on its white-striped tires, this car looks absolutely stunning. Framed by chrome front and rear bumpers, you'll also find plenty of chrome detailing around it, including on the leading edge of the rear wheel slats. Badging appears to be present and correct, and overall, this is as complete a classic as one could expect. Inside, there's a blue and gray-themed interior with bench seating for up to five occupants. The dash presents itself in the same blue hue as the exterior and hosts the instrumentation plus a push-button radio. The car has the Ford Magic Aire ventilation system for heating the cabin on cold days. The current owner tells us that there's no air conditioning, so it's up to the new owner to install a system if required. A neat touch of distinctiveness is the dice-tipped door lock on the edge of each window sill. A peek into the trunk reveals a similarly well-kept area with the spare wheel resting in its storage area.
Engine
This 1955 Ford Fairland 2-Door Club Sedan is powered by a 272ci Y-block V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and an oil bath air cleaner. Developing 164hp, the engine channels its power to the rear wheels through a 3-speed '3-On-The-Tree' column-shifted manual transmission. The current owner tells us that the engine has received a recent tune-up, and the car sports a new battery.
