Default 56 Ford
Hi Ford Men, thought i would put 2 Pictures of my 1956 Ford Crown Victoria on page for you all to see. I have had this super ford around 23 years and have enjoyed it very much It has a 312 v/8 and ford-a-matic runs super. When me and wife take to car show or cruise we get alot of lookers, and enjoyit. This is my second crown, my first one i got when i came from Korea in 58, still in Air Force. All no's match, but one the outside paint, Henry had it (BLACK & WHITE) i put it back all Black. Hope you enjoy,I enjoy Ford Barn very, very much keep up the good work.

Nothing like the color Black on a 56 ford - it just makes it pop!

Hi Randall, You have one mighty fine looking Ford. For some reason, sales of the Crown Victoria dropped from 33165 in 1955 to just 9209 in 1956. That is hard to explain when these cars look so good.

Beautiful car for sure! I especially like the fact it doesn't have a continental kit cluttering up the rear. But that's just my opinion.

You are so right, i think all 56 fords are super looking. I just happen to be lucky and got the 56 Crown Vic.

Randall, I to like that your car doesn't have a Continental Kit. I also like that it is all the one colour. Check out this single tone 1956 Ford Sunliner. Sweet.
