Overview of 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible For Sale by Owner

Ford used the aptly-named Sunliner tag on convertible variants of various vehicles produced between 1952 and 1964, including the drop-top variants of the Ford Crestliner, Ford Fairlane and Ford Galaxie. This 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible is from the Detroit automaker’s Fairlane line-up. A North Carolina vehicle, it’s undergone a full ground-up restoration that a was a three-year process undertaken in the 1980s. It’s been in the same family since 1986, and was stored for two decades from 1986 to 2006. That’s the reason why this garage-kept queen has just 80,000 miles on the clock despite her age, and would be a great option if you’re looking at adding a Fifties Ford to your life.

Exterior and Interior

This beautiful Snowshoe White 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible shows off the opulence of Fifties design. The paint is reportedly in good to very good condition, and it’s also got a new convertible top with re-built hydraulics. The original chrome has been re-done and refurbished according to the seller, and the continental kit has been specified too. The interior features an eye-catching Seasprite and White color scheme that looks absolutely stunning when cruising with the top-down. Four occupants can cruse in style on the leather seats which look in great condition, as they’ve received re-upholstering. The dash and instrumentation appear in very good condition too. The period-correct push-button radio is integrated into the dash, as is the Ford Magic Aire ventilation system but it’s not stated if these are functional. All interior chrome trim pieces such as decorative elements, grab handles and window winders are present and in good order as well.

Engine

The 1955 Ford was offered with a variety of powerplants, from a 223ci in-line six to a 312ci V8. This 1955 Ford Sunliner Convertible packs a 272ci Y-block V8 beneath its hood, that’s coupled to a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Drive is sent to the rear wheels. This car bears its original motor and transmission, and has received a tune-up as well as a new carb. A power steering pump is installed too, but needs to be rebuilt. When new, the engine would have put out 162hp, which is enough for a comfortable cruiser to waft along.

$165,000

Few vintage 4x4s have the enthusiast following of the first-generation Ford Bronco, and this 1971 Ford Bronco Restomod takes that classic formula in a decidedly performance-oriented direction.

Finished in Wimbledon White and Guardsman Blue with dual Blue stripes, it also features James Duff suspension, Dana 44 and Ford 9-inch axle hardware, Warn locking hubs, roadster-style doors, a family-style roll cage, and a long list of custom audio and trim upgrades. The result is a Bronco that retains its unmistakable early off-road character while incorporating the mechanical and aesthetic touches enthusiasts look for in a thoughtfully executed restomod.

PENDING SALE
$69,900

The 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is what happens when one of America’s most familiar full-size pickups is handed over to Shelby and turned into something far more outrageous. Showing approximately 43,139 miles, this Oxford White SuperCrew pairs the comfort and practicality of a heavily optioned Lariat with a Shelby-engineered 750 HP supercharged 5.0L V8, making it a truck that can haul, cruise, and deliver genuine muscle-car levels of attitude. The transformation goes well beyond the engine, with 22-inch Shelby Retro chrome wheels, a lowered Shelby suspension, functional ram-air hood, full-body rally stripes, unique Shelby bodywork, and a tuned Borla exhaust all contributing to its unmistakable presence. Inside, Shelby registry details are joined by desirable factory equipment such as Equipment Group 502A, the Technology Package, adaptive cruise control, and a twin-panel moonroof. It is the kind of truck that combines everyday usability with the theater and exclusivity enthusiasts expect from the Shelby name.
