The body style of the Crown Victoria was actually a modern interpretation of a horse-drawn carriage, called a Victoria. It is part of the top-of-the-line Fairlane Crown Victoria series, which replaced Fords popular 1954 Crestline. The 55 Crown Victoria Skyliner, affectionately known as the Glasstop Vicky, shared a non-structural chrome roof band, or basket handle, with its predecessor, but added a smoked acrylic glass window over the front seat area. Ford built 1,999 Crown Victoria Skyliners with transparent roofs, indicative of the Skyliner trim level for 1955, at a base cost of $2,177.00 USD per car. Of these cars, 402 were equipped with the optional factory SelectAire air conditioning package to offset heat build-up in the cars cabin. An optional snap-in sunshade or air conditioning system were also later offered and much desired. The exterior finish of this Glasstop Vicky is presented in a factory two tone and very fifties-esque snow-shoe white with tropical rose. This color scheme continues throughout the interior. The seats are contoured and upholstered in glamorous metallic-threaded nylon with pleated bolsters in harmonizing color. During manufacture in 1955, the displacement of the Fairlane engine was intentionally raised to 272 cubic inches, just so it could be a few cubes larger than Chevys new 265 V8 of the time. It boasted high-efficiency Turbo-Wedge Combustion Chambers along with new 18-millimeter spark plugs. These larger plugs resisted deposit build up and sealed better due to tapered seat construction. For 1955, Ford called its 3-speed automatic Speed-Trigger Fordomatic Drive since it incorporated a new automatic low gear to facilitate extra-fast starts or quicker, safer passing at low speeds. Sales of this particular model slumped in 1956 and as a result the car was only produced for two years; enhancing its present rarity. The Skyliner nameplate returned for the hardtop convertible in 1957. This beautiful car will bring you back to a simpler time where a gallon of gas cost 23 cents, and the beginnings of rock and roll could be enjoyed.
