Yes I had a 55 Ford - however, I was 5 years old when my dad bought a Custom Line 4 door sedan, and I remember begging him to get the Crown Vic - but he was a Highway Dept. worker, and farmer, in far Western VA (Lee County) and money was very hard to come by.

I'LL BE DIPPED!! As Derek would say. I never saw a carburettor setup like that in all My Years as a Licensed Mechanic & done lots of carburettors in My time. Another Iconic Car. WOW!
I rebuilt a 1955 Club Sedan I got the 4 barrel manifold and used an AFB 4 barrel Carb on the 292 ci it ran great. My dad painted it Pearl white it was pretty.
I'm a hardcore Mopar guy but IMO the '55/'56 Ford Crown Vics were among the most beautiful cars of the '50s. They have a classy, balanced design with a great sweep-spear. I especially like the red/white and purple/white color combos and the matching interiors. They radiate the fun vibe of '50s cars and I'd love to have one someday. Props to Art for keeping them in such fabulous shape and thanks Tony for making this video.
As someone mentioned earlier Ford didn't offer 312 CID engines in their cars until 1956. I was fortunate enough to get a 1955 Ford Mainline in 1960 when I was 16 years old. It had a 272 CID engine in it. The Mainline was the bottom line Ford then. Bumpers and door handles were about the only parts on those that were chromed. 2 bbl carburetor and single exhaust. I soon added a 4 bbl Holly carburetor, dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers and a Holman & Moody camshaft. It had maybe 185 or so HP after that. Was rated at 165 HP as it came from the factory. It ran pretty good for the time. The Crown Vic in this video is beautiful. It must have every option that Ford offered that year. Things we could only daydream about back then. Joe Messinger
Thanks, great stories.. interestingly, I git a *low miles 1956, cream puff, 4 DOOR /Fairlane / T BIRD ENGINE/Pb/PS/blue Velour/ WHITE EXT/ in 1965… unfortunately Destroyed in quick order, Freak accident, BEORE I COULD INVEST time..
Drove my grandpa's '55 Ford Customline, 4 door sedan to work every day in 1967. It was a 272 with 2 barrel and three on the tree. That crossover pipe was a real arm burner if you weren't careful.
Magnificent. While the old cars lack the R and D in new cars of today, they have loads of unique styling, they are relatively simple to work on, and are a thrill to drive.
It passed away many decades ago but, I owned and regularly drove, a 1967 Ford Fairlane Ranchero with a straight, in-line six (banger). Three speed, on the column. A clutch on the floor and full drum brakes on all 4. It was one very rare and highly special machine.
I bought the same 55 (all White) crown vicky in 1971 for peanuts. 292 3 speed stick with overdrive. Don't think 312 came out until 1956. TY for such an informative video, Tony's Car Care.
Thank you very much for watching. Can you imagine if we'd all know to buy them all up back then? It's crazy what even Country Squire wagons bring nowadays. Who knew?
I was detailing cars in 1978 at a gas station, And got to detail a Yellow 1950's Crown Victoria for a local car lot. I don't know the exact year model. With all of that Chrome inside and out, I had never seen that much Chrome on a car. I must have used a half a can of glass cleaner. I didn't think I would ever get finished. Happy to say I saw the car at its very best. Nice and clean and very Purdy!
What a cream puff, as they used to say! A wonderful color combination, and very nicely optioned too. I'm not sure about '50s Mercurys, but by the 1963 or so, white interiors had color coordinated appointments (carpet, dash, rear window package tray) in Mercurys and Lincolns, but such availability was a bit spotty on Fords, which usually stuck with black appointments in cars with white interiors through about 1973. After that, they offered both black and color-coordinated appointments. And on the subject of "juice" brakes: Henry Ford didn't trust the technology, until most all other manufacturers had them. Edsel had a really hard time convincing his father to add them. That was a big selling point of the new '39 Mercury. Before that, Ford used to advertise "the power of steel from pedal to wheel." Sell what you've got, I guess. ;-)
@@tonyscarcare5657 Art's from Kentucky I bet. I heard him say he went to college for electronics and that's what I majored in. Electronic engineering tech at North Western.
Thanks for a great vid and what a wonderful old man😊 Remembering growing up in the early 80’s with my dads 56’ Vicky in colonial white and diamond blue… those were the days 😃 Jerry from Sweden 🇸🇪
Had a friend that had a beater of a 55 Ford back in Highschool in the 60s. The electronics was more primitive back in those days. It seems the radio had something called a vibrator to turn DC into AC for certain radio circuits. I kid you not it was called a vibrator. Well, he was always having trouble with his vibrator, so he had to give it a hard thump to get the vibrator to work.
Stunning. And all the goodies including a -for that era - high performance engine, power windows/seats and the over the top continental kit! Special car indeed, but I wonder why the mismatched hubcaps? Was it a thing back then that the rear fender skirts wouldn’t allow enough clearance for the spinner cap used on the fronts?
Unless someone put a 292 in that car that is a 272. The 1956 was the first year for the 292 also as mentioned the first year for the 12 volt system. However this is one fantastic Crown Vic.
Between you Tony, Adam and Art ,Perhaps you might know the answer to this question, when someone has multiple vehicles/collection, do they typically insure the vehicles individually, or carry a policy that insures all the vehicles? I imagine it could get complicated?
My Grandparents had a four door light green 1955 Ford when I reached the age to get a car and I thought of buying it from them when they got another car but never told them that. Then in 1960 they came to our house to show us their new 1960 Ford. I ask where they traded in the 55 Ford and my Grandad said Not to go after it because it had too many things wrong with it, so I didn't. One of life's little disappointments. I thought they were good looking cars and still do.
EveryBody loves the tri five Chevy's but I like the styling of the Ford's in that era. Plus you don't see them that often. The tri chevys are everywhere. The retractable roof on the skyline was way ahead of its time. Even the ugliest car ever made, the Edsel, was chock full of new innovations that shook up the industry.
Art sure has a beautiful car. I love the two tone paint combinations that many of the 1950's cars had. You mentioned how hot it was, and I was wondering if Art has air conditioning in any of his classic cars?
Yes he does. Here is a link to my channel where you can see his other cars and the options they have. Click on the blue link here and click on videos.👇 Thanks! youtube.com/@tonyscarcare5657?si=QlZoZzIy9bnFGiUz
Woahh.. This car is a beauty. I love the continental tire kit and the chrome. this does make me wonder, what type of fuel does this use? I thought cars during that period needed lead.
Thank you! I'm not sure what he uses. I'll have to ask him. I remember when they were doing away with leaded gas, they were saying those engines were made to tolerate it, not require it. I do not run leaded gas in my cars. I do try to stay away from ethanol.
I really doubt this car has a 292 cu in V/8. The 272 was the standard size V/8 for those cars with 162 HP for the 2 barrel & 182HP for the 4 barrel engine. The 292 was actually a police option that could be ordered, and was rated @ 198 HP & the valve covers normally had "Thunderbird V/8" on them. I would like to see the ID Plate, to know for sure which engine it has.
@tonyscarcare5657 I had a 56 Ford, wasn't a Crown Victoria though. Totaled it out on Halloween night of 69. I really liked that car so I bought a 57 after that.
Dad has always liked the lesser models under the Crown Victoria better. He'd like to have a Club Sedan. He did have a black 57 Ford convertible as well.
Nice car, Art. I also like the antique gas pump and air pump next to your garage. Is that yellow 58 Chevy, in the background, yours too or your neighbors? Fond memories of when I was a young teenager.
I really like this car. If it were mine I would lose the continental kit and completely rewire the car. I realize the starter, generator, coil and all the lights and bulbs would need to be changed. For a small investment this car would be better than new.
Hi Tony, good car, good video! I see the 4 barrel carburetor that is on the 292 engine, are you sure the engine is not a 312? lease tell me more about the carburetor! Please reply. Dave...
I talked to Art today. He says it's the 292 police interceptor engine. I don't know that much about it, but he's owned it since the 70s and is very knowledgeable about them.

No, sir! All 55-56 Victoria and Crown Victoria had the curved chrome. Lessor models had the straight chrome. I simple Google search will show you. The 56 had totally different front marker lights and dash, as pointed out in the video.

I am sure that is a 56 Ford. The 55 had a straight peace of chrome from headlight to tail light. The 56 had the curved chrome instead.
