1956 Ford Fairlane Fairlane Description

1956 Ford Fairlane Crestliner Original 312 Thunderbird V-8 Runs great. No Smoke, No Knock, No funny noisesIf it sits a couple days you will have to pour gas/prime the carburetor.3 Speed On The Column Shift With Columbia Overdrive.Transmission & Clutch works as it should. No Grinding Or Issues etc.Speedometer works and shows 82,382 miles at time of posting this ad. I don't know for sure but I doubt there actual due to it's age.I have driven it up and down our country road a half dozen times or so. It will cruise along at 60-65 miles per hour no problem. No overheating or Major issues. Tires are fair/good all the way around and has what appears to be the original spare tire and wheel in the trunk. No Jack.
I purchased the car within the past couple of months with the thoughts of restoring it, Howeverwe found a Home we want to purchase and it has to go. This is a California Car. I bought it from an Old Timer who took it in trade from an Old Lady who traded backhoe/grading work on her Mountain Property in Squaw Valley Ca. several years ago. He said "I knew it was a good car when I traded for it cause I'd seen the Old Lady driving it all over town for years"(I don't know how old she was but the Old Timer said he was 78, Lol) It has the old style Black and Yellow License Plates. I jest sent my daughter to the CA.. DMV and registered it thru 2/10/2017
Car needs new upholstery. No headliner although it appears all the parts are there.It appears as it has never had any bodywork done on it.The front fenders around the wheel well is dinged up due to Old Lady not securing tire chains on properly while on a trip.
CALIFORNIA CAR: HAS NO MAJOR RUST ! THIS IS A VERY SOLID OLD CAR !
Only rust is on some of the chrome & there are very small bubbles under the paint on the lower body and light surface where paint is nicked or worn off. All the Glass is in good condition.The dash is in good shape.
I LIVE IN STOCKTON CA. NEAR SACRAMENTO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME BY FOR A TEST DRIVE.IF YOU ARE FROM OUT OF STATE I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU FACILITATE SHIPPING.
