100% original 1955 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan. This is a true survivor that was stored away in 1967. Still has the original 1963 Washington Plates with a '67 sticker. Color Code is G (Sea Sprite Green) Trim Code is AR (dark turquoise/medium turquoise). It was sold new at Hays Motor Company in Stanwood, Washington. I have the original invoice dated November 27, 1954. The car is 100% original paint with zero rust. Plenty of wear and tear from the sand and gravel on the roads back then, but no rust through. Floors look great underneath as well. Car was undercoated when new. Cost was $25 for that per the original invoice. Per the widow I purchased this from, the car was last driven about 10 years ago. It has the original 272 with 3 speed manual and overdrive. I have made no attempt to start the car. Motor turns over freely. Brakes are down from sitting so long and will require wheel cylinders I'd assume. Interior is 100% original. Car has had plastic seat covers since new so seats are pretty nice under that. Not perfect, but nice. The stains you can see on the seats are actually on the plastic cover not the seat material. Dash looks great and door panels are good. It is missing 1 rear ash tray. Known issues are that owner bumped the right front headlight with his mower and broke the headlamp out. Also, the rear inside lip of the deck lid is surface rusted & will need some clean up. The right hinge mount are on underside of trunk is fatigued & will need the crack welded up to get deck lid to fit properly. Driver's door glass has crack and windshield has small rock chip on lower passenger area as shown in photo. All in all, this is a great, original, honest '55 Fairlane to restore or put back on the road and drive as is. I have a clear Illinois title in my name. This is not a fire sale, and I don't need to sell. If I it doesn't meet reserve, I'll put it in my storage building until I have more time for it. I think the pictures speak for themselves, but e-mail if you have questions. Winning bidder to make $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hrs of auction ending. Balance by bank draft or cash upon pick up. Car will not leave until payment has cleared. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs and arrangements. I can provide contact information for a reasonably priced exporter I have used in the past, but again, all costs and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. You are welcome to come by and inspect the car prior to auction ending.
