NO TRADES CASH ONLY History on the Ford only goes back to the late 1990’s, but it is believed to have spent most of its life in North Carolina. In 2011 the current owner purchased the car and brought it to Maryland. The outside and inside cosmetic appearance of the Fairlane is as you see it today. Mechanically, the Ford needed some attention. All new suspension parts including front end bushings, shocks, tie rod ends, king pin, brakes (including shoes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and hardware) were replaced. The original 272 V-8 runs smoothly and the Cruise-O-Matic shifts fine. The 2-barrel carburetor should be rebuilt. Car sometimes shuts off when going into gear. The engine is stock except for the addition of dual exhaust with ‘Smitty’ style mufflers. Sound is perfect for a traditional 50’s style Ford. During the 10 years of ownership the Ford has been driven on several 200- and 300-mile trips without any issues. The Town Sedan still retains the original 6V charging system and all the interior lights and gauges function normally. The outside headlights, turn signals, brake lights, etc work fine too. The paint work is estimated to have been done some time in the 1990’s and still looks good for a street car. Whoever did the restoration used a 1956 Ford hood. The only difference is the hood ornament. There are a few areas which have some ‘crows’ feet’ and small bubbles on the bottom of the doors as well as along the tops of the rear fender wells (see photos). The driver’s window has a small crack at the bottom. Window still goes up and down without issue. Exterior chrome and stainless are in excellent condition and show little to no scratches or pits.
Interior was probably done about the same time as the paint job and is holding up nicely. No apparent tears or rips and little to no wear. It is not an original pattern or material for the Ford but does go along with the color theme. Tires are an older set of 15" “Silvertown” 4 ply nylon wide white walls from Coker. They should probably be updated. Additional parts such as a carburetor, fuel pumps, and hub caps are included (see photo). I am listing this vehicle as a representative (broker) for the owner. All photographs and videos were taken by me. All the information presented was given to me by the owner. All questions will be directed to J.D. @ and answered in a timely manner. ATTENTION DEALERS! !
