1956 Ford Fairlane

1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria Factory-Ordered Interceptor Dual-Quad V-8

Offered here is an exceptionally rare and highly distinctive 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria, combining one of Fords most attractive mid-century body styles with a very unusual factory performance specification.

Identified by VIN M6DV102660, this genuine 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria is a Dallas-built, pillarless two-door hardtop and is represented as having been factory ordered with Fords Interceptor V-8 and dual-four-barrel carburetor setup.

Adding even more visual appeal is the cars striking Sunset Coral and Colonial White two-tone color combination. Fords 1956 factory color literature identifies Sunset Coral as a factory color, and the Fairlane color combinations specifically list BE Sunset Coral & Colonial White. The warm coral/pinkish-red body contrasted against the white creates one of the quintessential mid-1950s Ford appearances. (1956 Ford )

The centerpiece of this automobile is unquestionably the engine compartment. The engine carries the Interceptor identification and is equipped with the distinctive dual-four-barrel induction system. This is an exceptionally unusual sight in a 1956 Fairlane and gives the car a genuine early Ford performance-car character.

Sunset Coral & Colonial White

The exterior is finished in the striking Sunset Coral and Colonial White combination, one of the most memorable color treatments offered by Ford in 1956.

Sunset Coral is a warm, reddish-pink/coral shade that perfectly captures the optimism and flamboyance of the mid-1950s. Against the contrasting Colonial White, the Victorias stainless-steel trim and sweeping body lines become especially dramatic.

A Rare Factory-Performance Fairlane

The Fairlane Victoria was already one of Fords most stylish offerings for 1956, with its pillarless hardtop design, wraparound glass and sweeping Fairlane trim. This particular example goes considerably beyond the ordinary Fairlane specification with its Interceptor engine and dual-four-barrel setup.

The result is a remarkable combination of:

Fairlane Victoria + Interceptor V-8 + dual four-barrel induction + Sunset Coral & Colonial White

It is an unusually compelling representation of Fords transition into the performance era of the late 1950s.

Rather than being a modern recreation or a standard Fairlane subsequently modified for performance, this automobile is represented as having been ordered from Ford in this unusual performance configuration, making its specification an important part of its history.

For the collector who values authentic Ford history, unusual factory specifications and the unmistakable styling of Americas 1950s automotive era, this Fairlane Victoria offers an extraordinary combination of provenance, presentation and performance.
