The 1956 Ford models had a 12-volt electrical system, 18-millimeter anti-fouling spark plugs, an all-new interior, an upgraded grille and trim, and improved safety. Ford added a padded dash, a sun visor, and a newly shaped steering wheel.
The big Ford was available in three levels of trim, the base Mainline model, the intermediate-level Customline, and the top-of-the-line Fairlane. All were fitted with the standard six-cylinder and optional V-8 power.
This Fairlane Sunliner Convertible was built in Chicago on April 20, 1956. It left the family finished in Fiesta Red and Raven Black with red and white vinyl upholstery. It has been treated to a restoration and finished in its factory colors. It has power steering, power brakes, Town & Country radio, dual fender-mounted spotlight/mirrors, nerf bar-style bumper guards, front and rear stone guards, stainless rocker panel moldings, rear fender skirts, stainless wire wheel hubcaps, a tissue dispenser, four-way power seat, air conditioning, and power windows.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2014
