1952-59 Ford 1956 Customline Fodor garage find.

I had this exact same year and model in high school. Found this one earlier this year. 72k on the odometer. I'm going to turn it into a daily driver. And oddly enough someone added the factory power steering setup to it at some point. Thank God I found this collective of old ford knowledge.

Cheers

Welcome to the board! That's a creampuff....luv it!

 

Nice find! Hard to find anything with that low of mileage, looks very original right down to the fender skirts. I have always liked that Customline trim package as it really lends itself to the two tone treatment extremely well. Welcome to the group.

 

Yeah I was really amazed how well preserved and un-muked with it was. Changed the fluids. Drain and refilled the tank. Did a function check of the brakes new battery and drove it home.

 

Nice car! Welcome to the group.

 

Nice car! I'm not sure about your skirts though. They look different than mine.

 

What makes you think the PS was added later. Fairlane horn rings said it. Not sure on a customline. One was next to me a few years back at a show and had PS stock. It was a Victoria.

 

Customlines and Fairlanes used the same horn ring as far as I know.

 

Looks like a great car! Congrats!

 

Welcome to a great group of guys that are EXTREMELY helpful!
