1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner 54166 Miles
Ford's historic Victoria name is reserved for the top-tier cars, and none showed off the premium style better than the 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria Skyliner. Not only did it have elegant lines, but also the big translucent bubble top roof makes it extremely distinctive and extremely rare. Fords were instantly recognizable with their sweeping chrome trim extending from the headlight all the way back to the tail - creating the perfect dividing line between the two-tone red and black. Furthermore, it's easy to distinguish the Crown Victorias as the upper echelon of the already top-of-the-line Ford Fairlanes, because only these have the encompassing brightwork that visually separates the front and rear passenger compartments. This looks quite tasteful on the regular coupes, but the band of bright trim over the roof seems to be tailor-made for the Skyliner series. It's perfect to showcase the Plexiglas roof section that gives the front seat such a panoramic view and lets this Skyliner earn its name. This was an expensive feature when new that cost even more than a convertible. Thus, there were only about 600 examples made in its final year as a fixed coupe.
