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.

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.
What’s this, the Ford Thunderbolt? Well, it’s a limited-production special of the Ford Fairlane 500 produced in 1964 exclusively for drag racing. Reportedly, only 100 cars were officially made, in manual and automatic transmission variants. One of them secured the 1964 NHRA Super Stock Championship for the Blue Oval. As you’d imagine, a proper Thunderbolt would be expensive, if you can find one at all. Thankfully, we’ve got the next best thing, a 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone from New Ulm, Minnesota. This lovely tribute comes with the requisite 427 under the hood, and under 84,000 miles on the clock.
Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.

One of the best ways to experience a classic car is to cruise down in town with a drop-top first-generation Ford Mustang. You’ll be guaranteed to receive smiles, waves and general gestures of appreciation because who doesn’t love a Mustang? Introduced in 1964, the Mustang created a class of car called the pony car, and also facilitated an entire culture of happy, carefree cruising.

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.
