rotorwrench, your link is a very good one. The '56 in question, here, has all the markings of a Customline. .

Re: What Model is This 56
The additional piece of trim in the lower position on the rear quarter panel looks similar to some of the 4-door sedan Mainline types but it doesn't seem to be common to the 2-door sedan. I don't have any idea what the option in that area might have been but it may or may not be OEM for all I know. The original factory sales literature would likely answer the question one way or the other.
Folks have been customizing these old cars for years so nothing would surprise me much. Most may prefer a Fairlane but those that liked a more subtle approach would be fine with a lower trim grade. I'm sure there are more clones that a person can shake a stick at. |

Re: What Model is This 56
A SALES BROCHURE features an artists rendition of how a car supposedly will look when released.
It also depends on the date of the sales brochure. |

Re: What Model is This 56
That Fairlane could've had the trim added. I did the same thing with my 58 Chevy Yeoman. The only dash trim on the lowest trim level Yeoman was the aluminum trim around the speedometer. I added the BelAir trim to make it look better.

Re: What Model is This 56
To make the waters murkier, it looks like the hood has a Customline/Mainline hood Ford crest emblem but a "Fairlane" insignia just below it? Are my eyes deceiving me?

No, you are correct. The owner took certain liberties ...

Photo added by KULTULZ. Notice that the 56 Fairlane has a small Ford Badge with three gold points like a crown above the FORD name. |
