Increasing the amount of chrome on the vehicle will result in a faster sale. This particular car embodies that concept perfectly, featuring additional chrome detailing on the bumpers, a distinctive continental rear bumper, quadruple ribbed trim, side mirrors with searchlights, a rocket hood ornament, chromed spoked wheels, and a curved windshield. Incorporating touches of red in the interior enhances the appeal of the car, making it a desirable example of 1950s style, such as the 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner Convertible. Beginning from the top, we observe a pristine black canvas convertible top that operates perfectly. This includes a clear chrome-trimmed small glass rear window, as well as some surrounding trim at the rear of the top. At the front, a curved grille with a small V shape and horizontal spacing between structural vertical rails features a large bumper below, along with an additional set of vertical additions and a curved chrome bar that intertwines with these vertical additions and extends around the sides of the sizable turn signal bezels. Positioned above are single-brimmed headlights with a small chrome bezel, marking the beginning of the swoop spear in the top center of the front quarter. A hood ornament in a jet age style gleams in chrome at the front of the hood, just below a nearly flawless cloisonné Ford Badge. Transitioning to the curved windshield, which boasts pristine chrome trim surrounding the glass, flanked by chrome side-view mirrors with searchlights on each side positioned in front of the mirrors. On the vehicle's sides, straight steel with precise gaps is painted in pearl white and accentuated by a prominent swoop spear originating above the headlights, extending towards the rear with a downward dip in the mid-door section, before climbing upward and rearward in a ribbed form. As we move towards the continental rear, a lovely tire cover in pearl white bordered by chrome and a broad bumper incorporating an additional round bar to hold the spare tire. Inside the vehicle, the door panels and seats feature a sophisticated combination of red and white vinyl. The front split bench and rear solid bench boast white tuck and roll horizontal inserts with smooth red bolsters, accented by red piping. The original metal dash stands out with its two-tone coloring of red on top and bottom, and white in the center, extending to the eyebrow instrument cluster in front of the driver. The controls, radio, and additional badging on the glovebox have all been meticulously restored. The pristine interior is completed with red carpeting and intricately embroidered tri-color Ford badged floor mats. The red tonneau cover is a perfect complement to the overall aesthetic, fitting flawlessly over the seating area when not in use. The hood release mechanism reveals an equally remarkable level of craftsmanship compared to the exterior and interior of the vehicle following the restoration process. The engine compartment displays a meticulously restored 292 cubic inch V8 engine, complete with gleaming ribbed valve covers and a chrome air cleaner cover. Equipped with a single 4-barrel carburetor, this engine is paired with a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission that delivers power to the rear wheels through a 3.22 rear axle. Upon inspection from below, the vehicle appears to be in pristine condition, showcasing a gleaming gas tank and exhaust system fitted with Smitty mufflers that shine like new. The suspension, floorplans, rockers, and frame are completely devoid of rust, presenting a visually impressive sight. The front suspension features independent coil springs, while the rear is equipped with leaf springs, complemented by power drum brakes that exhibit no signs of corrosion. The vehicle performed impressively on the test track and left a favorable impression on the writer after the test drive. It started smoothly, idled without any issues, and accelerated swiftly like a high-speed rocket. The handling was top-notch, providing a smooth and stable ride, with effective power drum brakes. Despite its size, the car maneuvered well and showed no signs of strain while being driven. Overall, the driving experience was highly enjoyable, and the convertible top operated seamlessly. Should you have an affinity for ample chrome and the iconic mid-1950s Ford design, you may want to take a closer look at this beautifully restored convertible.
