Description

A beautiful 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria with known history stretching back to new.

This car remained within the same Texas family from 1956 until 2014. The original owner purchased the car brand new in Texas in 1956. Although he changed his Ford every ten years thereafter, he never parted with this Fairlane and retained it until his passing. The car then passed to his brother, who later sold it to a dealer in Cleburne, Texas, from whom I purchased the car in 2016 and shipped her over to Malta.

Interestingly, after another ten years of ownership ending in “6”, the time has now come for a new custodian.

The car was reportedly seldom used between 1966 and 2013/ 2014, when it underwent a restoration while carefully retaining its original factory colour scheme.

When purchased by me, the car was already in very good condition, and notably the underside still retained its factory finish with no added paint. The underside was later painted black purely as a corrosion-prevention measure during the installation of a new suspension system.

In 2022, a fully reversible X2 Industries air ride suspension kit from the USA was professionally installed. The original setup can be reinstated if desired.

The car runs smoothly and reliably, with no known issues.

Additional highlights include:

  • Known ownership/ service history
  • Original documentation included
  • Firestone tyres in near-new condition, including the spare
  • Sale includes a substantial collection of spare parts

A rare opportunity to acquire an original and well-documented 1950s American classic with genuine long-term provenance.

Serious enquiries welcome.
