1956 Ford Fairlane - Victoria

[@erin19030]

The 1956 and 1957 Ford Fairlane were the best looking cars ever with the best V8 engines. I was only 13 when this car came out and didnt really discover them until I was17 and ready to buy my first car. By the time I could afford one I was 19 and the cars I loved and wanted were used.the group pf guys I hung with all bought similar cars and helped each other make them road worthy again. I took my drivers test on my cousins 56 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria with the sliding sun roof. My first car was a 57 Ford Custom 500 with the small block V8 and three on the column. I still have very fond memories of that car

Erin, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I completely agree with you. I recall the first time I saw this car at a car show. I was more or less speechless. The beautiful lines, and the way the car has true presence is just so hard to explain until you see her. This particular colour combination is also just gorgeous.

I had the same car in 1964 when I was a senior in High School.. Same color, engine and trans with overdrive. Loved it, wish I had kept it longer. My 1st car was the iconic 57 Cheverolet Bel air, 2dr hardtop, V8 stick. Sold it for a profit and bought the ford for half as much. Liked it better. I had always like the looks. Still do and find myself looking for another one even now.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Roger, first off.. you are definitely a car guy with Bel air and the Fairlane.. don’t you wish you were able to keep them both. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.

[@ashleygordon3467]

Gorgeous car. Ford really knew how to use colour back then - inside and out.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Ashley you are so right and the 2 tone colours really helped to showcase the beautiful lines on the cars. Modern day cars not only look very similar they also never have 2 tone paint sadly.

[@steveimhoff5646]

1956 Ford is one of the most beautiful cars made in America. Way under appreciated by the general public today.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Steve, so well said. This car checks off all the boxes in my book (plus a few more I hadn’t thought of too).

[@donnawalker5597]

Love this car! So beautiful. My Dad had this car when I was young.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Donna, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). You are a lucky girl. I find that more than the BelAir (which is beautiful too) but the lines on this Ford are so perfect. Plus the two tone pain combination on this car is beyond words.

[@falcon664]

They never show the instrument cluster at night, it is beautifully done. All the gauges, heater controls and radio are backlit. The black bezels around the lights, lighter, wipers and ignition are backlit as well, the white lettering lights up.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thanks Falcon.. that is a great point. I should shoot some later at night videos too.

[@danedwards9511]

Wow. This has to be one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thank you Dan

[@steveriley1178]

One word can only describe this car - PERFECT!

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Exactly!

[@frankename1984]

Brilliant. Absolutely BRILLIANT car. I have never seen such a car that i can only describe as flawless in every possible way. Kevin i agree with you 100% there is something really special about cars with 2 tone paint and fender skirts plus more chrome to give it that extra touch.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Thank you Frank.. she is truly beautiful

[@paulgoree5206]

I love the turquoise and white with the chrome half moon headlight covers

[@Jeff_Brown659]

Beautiful

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

I agree.

[@juliafinch359]

Absolutely stunning car. Love the color and the chrome too.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

I completely agree with you Julia

[@davidmay3348]

Truly a beautiful car, my goodness, wow.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

David, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. You said it. The two tone paint combination leaves you starting at this car for a long long time and the attention to detail is exemplary!

[@davejohnson2814]

One of my favorite cars of all time. Plus another fantastic and fun video.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Completely agree with you Dave. The car is a beautiful.

[@willyhwang1059]

That’s a beautiful car. Back then it was all about styling, building them involve artful eye and craftsmanship. It seems much less so nowadays

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Willy thank you again for subscribing and watching my videos. I agree with you. There was a sense of elegance and curves that we sadly don’t see these days as cars become more aerodynamic. Also it’s the added touch of 2 tone paint, chrome and of course let’s not forget.. FENDER SKIRTS😀😀😊

[@dennisrobinson7587]

Love the colour

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Dennis.. thanks again for watching. I have to agree.. sometimes the colour combinations are just so perfect that you want to replicate on other cars and motorbikes too😀

[@lawrencemick1665]

Quick tip. First off thanks for posting this video. Back to the tip. When filming car or trucks please take a few moments to give us the opportunity to view the whole car from 20 ft or so side views so we can take in the whole car and view stance. Thanks.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Lawrence, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thank you for your advice. I agree with you and will certainly try that in future videos. I will give you a slight hint that coming soon will be 360 degree drone shots that will also allow you to see the car in motion.. so hang in there.

[@Wanderingsomewhere145]

Identical with my first car in Los Angeles. Didn’t file the change of ownership when I sold it, but was reminded by the detective who showed up and asked my Dad if I would rob a store. Not sure if they caught the robber.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Heaven, lol what a great story. Hey can you imagine if you had used the Fairlane to Rob the bank, it would be the exact opposite of using a car that “blends in and easily recognizable “ I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car.

Another great car and car story Kevin, keep up the great work. Can you interview some Japanese classics? 240z. 280zx

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Willy.. the 240zx has been on my wish list forever. I have discovered a couple of people in the Toronto area that I met through car meets etc.. hopefully as the weather improves here I will be able to get a video made 😀😀😀

[@nicholas790]

50 points off for the aftermarket air cleaner! Also the headlight covers just look odd, take them off! Finally I think the real Ford discs hubcaps would look much better. PS NO DICE EVER1

Nicholas, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 👏 however it really is up to the owner to modify their cars to the way it makes them happy.

[@falcon664]

The horns are not correct either. The original had a deeper tone. But that is being very picky.

[@mikebingham9700]

Nice car, but I would rather have the Ford Fairlane (Crown) Victoria. Same color combination.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

Mike, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I actually have never seen the crown Victoria model. I am assuming it has more chrome and the same body styling perhaps. The colour combination to me is just so gorgeous. It’s one of those blends that when together highlight the beautiful lines of the car.

[@eutimiochavez415]

I have a 1956two door hard top all white ,pay 256.00 in 1966? 40.000 miles

[@johnfry3813]

I don't see the safety dashboard and sunvisors.

[@ClassicCarChitChat]

John.. thank you so much for watching my videos. Should there be something different about the Sun visors. I would love to share the details with the owner. Could you possibly email me what you are referring to please. My email address is [e-mail]

[@falcon664]

The padded dash and sun visors were optional. Many disintegrated and the metal panel was painted. Chrome strips anchored the pad, this car does not have them so likely it did not come from the factory with them.
