i just bought a 55 fairlane and have been looking for pictures of different ones trying to get an idea of color combos, ride hidths, tail light mods, chops, anything..all i find are original restored cars....i will post a picture of mine in a bit its not a good one but its all i got..thanks -Doug

 

here is a picture of it...i have had it for two weeks now...and i only get to work on it on the weekends because its 100 miles away from me...lol so i took the fender off to fix it during the week..bad rust on this side..

 

This isnt a Fairlane, but its A 55 Ford crown vic..This might give you some ideas ...

cydways, Good luck on your '55. You can find my mild Club Sedan in my intro. Just click on my name, and look for posts that I started. Should be too many to look through before you find it.


Some standard 55-56 Kustom tricks, if there is such a thing. 55 merc wagon taillight, or 60 Dodge Pheonix taillights. 58-60 Thunderbird Front bumper, '55 Pontiac side trim.

 

Have you looked on Carnut.com? http://www.carnut.com/photo/list/flist.html

that car belongs to my friend jack demattius from cedar grove, nj...he rear ended an SUV with it last year....the car is redone now, but it now has a 54 chevy grille bar with 53 teeth....shame about the meteor grille....

 

Here's a great looking '55 Fairlane Vic. It has a huge but subtle mod, in that the guy grafted on a complete roof from a '56 (non-Crown) Vic, which has a factory chop.

 

This is a classic, but it still rules.

 

How do you get to your pics?

 

It doesn't work for me.

 

I don't know how to post but if you PM me your e mail I can forward pics of my 56 sedan.

 

And that guy is non other than Larry Cerny...

 

my all time fav' ford 2-tone...

 

...

 

wow! thanks guys for all the pictures...i really like that thunderbird grille..but then again that blacked out grille on the wagon as a nice look to it as well...now i am going to looking at these pics all night!...lol oh and that 55 with the 56 roof is amazing! but i am not going that nice.... thanks again! -Doug

 

HEy guys couldn't resist both these shots are of the same 55 ford that I raced here at thompson speedway in street stock in 1971 it was already a racer for 10 years before this.So I didn't cut up a car to do this I wasa 17 at the time.IF I could find someones parts car I would like to recreate this car as I'm a member of New England Antique Racers or NEAR .I'd like to find somebodys shell of a parts car otherwise I won't build a new car

 

Here is a different one.

 

No more. I promise.

 

Holy S%$T!!! That just might be the ultimate "gook wagon"!!
The funny thing is, who ever did that is obviously super talented when it comes to working with stainless or aluminum (??) I can't imagine the hours upon hours that went into it. The craftmanship is top notch, its just that the whole thing is over the top!!

 

No shit?!! Thanks for that insight! I remember the thread about the Cernys Sr and Jr, and your picture being posted, but I didn't notice the top! I believe that your picture was taken at Paso, but I don't recall having seen the car there (although I've been there every year since 1993)!

 

I am speechless (doesn't happen very often).
