Financing:
Summary:
Used 1955 Ford Fairlane
Location:
Novelty, OH
Description:
Boasting a bumper-to-bumper restyling in a year that saw the Ford Motor Company produce more than 1.4 million cars, and described as being in “excellent condition, clean and detailed,” this 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner Convertible is one of 49,966 similar soft-top examples produced that year. While the seller makes no specific statements about this car’s restoration history, this Sunliner is clearly finished to a very high standard both inside and out. Citing no body blemishes, and with a convertible top that the seller says works “fine,” this Sunliner is apparently stock except for the addition of a tachometer and a 6-to-12-volt converter with a 12-volt outlet beneath the dash. The Sunliner has reportedly been under current ownership for less than a year. POWERTRAIN This Sunliner is powered by Ford’s optional 272-cu.in. OHV V8. With a compression ratio of 7.6:1, the Y-block engine received its fuel mixture via a two-barrel downdraft carburetor and was rated by the manufacturer at 162 horsepower when new, with 182 lb-ft of torque. The seller believes this Sunliner’s V8 is original to the car, and states no rebuild history. The engine reportedly starts using the manual choke. The seller notes no functional issues with the three-speed, column-shifted manual transmission or overdrive unit. The seller is unaware of any powertrain leaks. The engine bay presents as stock and virtually spotless. EXTERIOR The seller makes no statement about the age of the Goldenrod Yellow and Raven Black paint but describes it as a “beautiful” clearcoat finish, with no body blemishes noted. The body seals are described as being in “good shape.” The convertible top reportedly “works fine” and has no missing components. The seller states that the Ford has “no rust.” The Sunliner’s body show no outward damage, with the panels appearing to have very good fit. The Ford is outfitted with fender skirts and dual chromed exhaust tips. All chrome looks to be complete, undamaged and in very good overall condition. The glass is termed “excellent” and free of cracks and distortions. All lights are said to work. The underside presents as clean, with minimal surface corrosion. INTERIOR The black and yellow vinyl interior materials appear to be in very good, damage-free condition, with the seller noting no cracks or tears. The carpeting is reported to be in “good shape,” with no apparent worn areas. The convertible top is said to be in “good shape.” The steel dashboard has two-tone paint and according to the seller, full factory trim. All instruments are described as functional, and the Ford retains its factory AM radio. A tachometer has reportedly been added. All windows are said to function properly with cranks. There is no air conditioning, but the heater is reported to work. The trunk has a mat and presents as clean. CHASSIS The date of the Ford’s most recent suspension service is unknown but the seller reports that the car was recently undercoated. The seller is unaware of any chassis component damage or functional issues, citing no known leaks. The manual steering reportedly has “standard” free play. The hydraulic drum brakes are reportedly “in good shape.” The steel disc wheels have no reported issues. The age of the wide-whitewall tires, whose DOT date codes cannot be determined from the photos, is unknown. DOCUMENTATION The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean Ohio title in his name. A third-party vehicle inspection report will be provided. This 1955 Ford Fairlane Sunliner Convertible is clearly a restored vehicle finished to a high standard.
