Customs are renowned for their use of color and special paints, and this lovely Fairlane is no exception. It's brilliant silver pearl with candy purple, and the difference between these colors and those you'd find on a production car is remarkable. Of course, cool paint will only get you so far if the bodywork isn't properly done, so every panel on this car was sanded, buffed, and massaged until it was laser-straight. And with all that bright trim, there's nowhere for misaligned panels to hide. Like any great custom, the modifications are so subtle and well-executed, it's almost impossible to tell where the changes are, because it looks so factory. Everything is crisp and beautifully blended, and you'll need a stock Fairlane next to this one to see all the modifications.
While the original Y-block V8 was no slouch in the horsepower department, this custom is now powered by a healthy 351 cubic inch Windsor V8. Dressed in bright Ford Blue, the engine bay is tidy and easy to service, and a nice compromise between flashy upgrades and OEM equipment. There's chrome on the air cleaner and valve covers, which is pretty much standard equipment in any modified car these days, but to keep it reliable, all the original Ford mechanicals remain in place.
The transmission is a C6 3-speed automatic turning the Fairlane's original live rear axle. In fact, aside from modern tube shocks, the suspension and steering systems remain 100% original. The original frame and floors have been undercoated to control heat and noise, and the 351 exhales through a pair of cherry bomb mufflers that were the only choice if you were a hot rodder in the 1950s. Traditionalists will be pleased to see that it rolls on color-matched steel wheels with spinner wheel covers and vintage-looking Coker Classic wide whitewall bias-ply tires.
The interior is nicely finished in matching silver and purple fabrics, and it's very tastefully done. With pleated seats, slick cloth and vinyl door panels, and a dashboard painted to match the body, it's the perfect complement to the body. All the original gauges have been retained and remain fully functional, with a trio of auxiliary gauges installed in their own panel under the dash. The original AM radio is still in the dash in a nod to originality and authenticity, with a modern AM/FM/CD head unit right below it so nothing had to be cut or modified. You'll also find that the carpets have been expertly trimmed, with a heel pad for the driver and matching binding on the edges, including around the custom shifter housing.
True customs are all about appearances, and the beautifully finished bodywork on this Fairlane is a tribute to the early pioneers of metalworking and paint technology, who were often years and years ahead of the OEMs. With all the right period touches, this is a car that will make guys who were there smile, and create a whole new generation of custom car fans who understand that how a car looks is just as important as how it runs. If you're one of those guys, get in touch today, because this car is a lot of traditional fun for not a lot of money. Call now!

1956 Ford Fairlane Part 3 - The Finished Product
This is the final video in a 3 part series. Please watch the other 2 videos to see the building/progress of the car. My son and I built this Fairlane from the ground up with many modifications along the way. Enjoy.
1956 Ford Crown Victoria Blu/Wh
Great car, great paint and two tone color combination. The trim on the side facilitates this imaginative use of color. The decorative chrome trim over the top of the car mirrored on the inside was an interesting styling touch. The interior piece was painted trim color...the original would have been chrome. The dash had changed markedly from the 1955 model, and now a padded dash was optional.

Old school customs are often an exercise in excess. Owners build outrageous machines to push the envelope of what's possible, trying to create something that hasn't been done before. That often results in highly individualized cars that lack mass appeal. That's why this 1956 Ford Fairlane is special: it's an old school custom that uses all of the traditional tricks without going overboard. This car is the perfect representation of what an average guy might have built in the late 1950s, with spectacular paint, a lot of custom trim, and a 351 Windsor under the hood. We don't often showcase true customs like this, but when we do, they're inevitably some of the most popular cars on the showroom floor.
Customs are renowned for their use of color and special paints, and this lovely Fairlane is no exception. Its classic combination of red and white is exactly what I think of when someone says 1956 Ford Fairlane. Aside from a few barely noticeable chips here and there, the paint is beautiful. The body work is straight and clean, and with all that bright trim, there's nowhere for misaligned panels to hide. The gaps are extremely good considering the body is nearly 60 years old. Everything is crisp and beautifully blended. A big part of this custom's look is the trim. All Fairlanes received the dramatic sweeping side trim that stretches from the headlights to the edge of the rear quarters, and it provides the ideal break point for the two-tone color combination. The grille, and both front and rear bumpers have been recently re-chromed, and they're near show quality.
This custom is powered by a healthy 351 Windsor, which is a reliable, powerful engine that works extremely well in this custom. The engine bay is nicely detailed, from the paint on the underside of the hood, to the painted fender walls and core support. There's chrome on the air cleaner and valve covers, which is pretty much standard equipment in any modified car these days. The list of quality components under the hood include an Edelbrock carb, chrome alternator, chrome coil, billet distributor, new wiring, and a period correct 12volt battery. Up front is the beautiful aluminum radiator, and underneath that is the trans cooler. The heater motor and components look to be in great condition, and the A/C compressor is polished. There is cruise control, power steering and power brakes.
The transmission is a C6 automatic turning the Fairlane's Ford 8" rear end. Out back you will find the springs, shocks and rear sway bar make the ride very smooth. The gas tank is in great condition, with an electric fuel pump installed. The Exhaust system is new, and you will find new brake and fuel lines. The emergency brake cables are in good condition as well. Up front, a GM A-Body suspension has been grafted in, and it looks fantastic. The bushings and ball joints are newer, the steering gear is in good shape and there is a front sway bar as well. The floorboards are clean and painted, free of dirt, rust and undercoating. The frame is in beautiful condition as well, showing all of the spot welds, with no rust or pitting. The previous owner built a couple of heat shields for the Glasspack mufflers, showing how well cared for the undercarriage of this Fairlane is. Check out the clean rockers! And while you're over there, look right behind the front wheels. Those are the electric poppers for the doors. Just hit them with your toe, and the doors open right up.
The interior is nicely finished in matching red and white fabrics, and it's very tastefully done. With power seats, a tilt/telescoping wheel, A/C, heat, tunes and VDO gauges, what more could you ask for? This is one clean and comfortable interior! Out back, the trunk is finished with matching carpet and a spare tire. The continental kit is just another bonus. With the airbrushed "At the Hop" artwork, this Fairlane is ready for a night out at the drive in!
There's easily twice the asking price wrapped up in this gorgeous custom. Like most customs of the '50s, the mechanicals were reliable and sturdy, and functional and clean is the name of the game. True customs are all about appearances, and the beautifully finished bodywork on this Fairlane is a tribute to the early pioneers of metalworking and paint technology. With all the right touches, this is a car that will make guys who were there smile, and create a whole new generation of custom car fans who understand that how a car looks is just as important as how it runs. If you're one of those guys, get in touch today, because this car is a lot of traditional fun for not a lot of money. Call now! 7 Days a week 248-974-9513

132405 / 1939 Ford Sedan
For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/7k4kmba
For NASCAR fans, David Pearson needs no introduction. He currently holds second place on NASCAR's all-time win list, and is the driver that chased Richard Petty to greatness. He was also among the inaugural class of inductees to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, receiving votes from 50 of the 53 voters.
Speaking of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, this 1939 Ford tudor sedan is the very car that Pearson drove to the induction ceremony from his home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Beginning his career in Fords, it is only fitting that a Ford should carry him to the Hall of Fame, and this one does it in style. A very mild custom, perhaps too conservative to even be called a hot rod, it is nonetheless an extremely clean and well-restored example built by one of the truly great drivers of our time.
The paint was expertly applied over beautifully prepped Henry Ford steel, and has a deep, soft luster that looks highly authentic on the 72 year old body. The color is probably a pretty good approximation of Garnet Maroon, which was on the color palette for 1939 despite Henry Ford's objection to red paints. All the original trim remains in place as well. The stainless is brilliantly polished, and the chrome bumpers, like the paint, have a nice patina that you just can't duplicate.
The engine is a correct 24-stud flathead V8 with aluminum heads and a 2-barrel Stromberg carburetor perched way up top. It has undoubtedly been rebuilt, and probably sports a few hot-rodding tricks inside if you can believe the Isky cam cards that accompany the car. The block has been painted to match the body, although the heads are raw aluminum, and the original front-mounted distributor remains in place. The original 3-speed manual still lives behind the engine and shifts beautifully, driving the original banjo-style rear end. All four corners now wear modern tubular shocks, and there's a dual Exhaust system tucked neatly up into the frame rails. It all rides on a set of 16-inch Ford steel artillery wheels wearing V8 hubcaps and trim rings, along with a set of wide whitewall bias ply tires with tubes.
The warm, welcoming interior looks straight of pre-war America, complete with simple fabrics, tasteful use of wood graining on the dash, and lovely art deco gauge faces. All the Bakelite plastic knobs and handles remain in excellent condition, and the banjo steering wheel is a work of art. A rubber floor mat protects the carpets up front, fitted beautifully around the shifter that extends gracefully up from the floor. The trunk is surprisingly spacious given the car's fastback profile, and holds a matching spare tire and wheel assembly.
If this were merely a nice 1939 Ford Deluxe tudor, I'd say that it's a rare find in this condition. But adding in the David Pearson connection and the fact that it is a very well-known car adds tremendously to its value. If you're a '39 Ford fan, a NASCAR fan, or a David Pearson fan (or all three!), you owe it to yourself to put this lovely tudor sedan in your collection today. Call now!
