his is great example of iconic 50's automotive styling. In 1955 Ford introduced their newly redesigned lineup to stay competitive in the market, featuring the top of the line Crown Victoria. Complete with new styling and features like the chrome "basket handle" across the roof, 2 tone paint job and the signature round taillights, there was no mistaking this car for anything else on the road at the time.This particular car is a great example of what made this car so popular in the first place and stands out wherever it goes. It features a 272 Y block V8 rated at 162 horsepower with a 2 barrel carburetor and a 3 on the tree manual transmission with overdrive. The car underwent a restoration some time ago but has held up well over time. It is a very solid and straight car with no serious rust (just a few surface spots, nothing eating into the car). It runs very strong and has just recently had the entire brake system gone through including rebuilding the master cylinder, replacing brake lines, rebuilding wheel cylinders, new shoes, springs and drums. The transmission shifts smooth and the overdrive works flawlessly. It has glass pack mufflers on the exhaust with old school style dual round tips, giving it that great vintage hot rod sound at idle and cruising Outside, the paint is older but still has a good shine to it. All the chrome is in good shape, no rusting, pitting or flaking. All the glass is good with no cracks or chips. The car sits on almost new bias ply tires with the original wheels and hubcaps to top off that nostalgic 50's look. The car drives down the road smoothly and effortlessly. The interior upholstery was redone with that paint; There are no tears or scuffs, the carpet looks almost new and the headliner does as well. All lights, signals and gauges work on the car, the only thing that is not hooked up is the radio. Overall this car is a great driver, and is sure to be a head turner wherever it goes!We reserve the right to end the auction early
