Seller's comments about 1956' Ford Customline

This 1956 Ford Customline Tudor Sedan was upgraded with the right pieces, including an A/C interior, four-on-the-floor, and a great two-tone style. So dig into the details on an all-around distinctive classic that was built to cruise. This Ford grabs all the right attention. Dark gray and silver is a distinct color combo with a smooth finish that comes from a modern application. Theres even a hint of metallic in the gray that pops every moment the sunshine hits it. As you really look at this car, youll see its the kind of build thats ideal for someone whod love to do the power tour. The builder even took it on some Daytona runs himself. So the overall fit and finish is impressive, but its not meant to be so fancy that youll stay off the highway. This has good fundamentals with straight body lines, good gaps, and nice weather stripping. These Customlines had style in 56, and its nice to see it in the bright chrome bumpers, full-width grille, clean wraparound glass (both front and rear,) and Thunderbird-inspired tail lights. Plus, the full-length trim is a swoopy streak down the body that deserved more recognition for being sportier than the 56 Bel Air. And the way this unique trip looks like an unbroken line down the full body is another reminder of the time and quality that went into this build. The interior is tastefully upgraded so that you get plenty of comfort and convenience. There are more modern bucket seats up front with soft cloth and enough bolstering for all-day comfort. The two-tone gray and black sets the tone for the rear bench, door panels, carpeting, dash, and headliner for a thoughtfully coordinated feeling. This was also built to be a great cruiser, and thats why you have useful upgrades like cold-blowing R134a air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to plug in your phone. There are also driver-oriented additions such as a sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a full upgraded gauge package. Plus, you know the tach goes quite nicely with the cue ball shifter. Under the hood is a Fords 292 Y-block V8. Its an era-correct powerhouse that has been well-kept to be a strong runner. It inhales deeply with an Holley four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet V8 tune through the dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers. The car drives with confidence, and you take full control of the power and its soundtrack with a four-speed manual transmission. And speaking of better control, this one also has upgraded Wilwood power front disc brakes. Add in power steering and modern tires on the upgraded 15-inch wheels, and you have the recipe for a true cruiser. Complete with build receipts this is the stand-out custom with the kind of solid driving appeal thats even good for the longer trips. So if youre looking for a fun four-speed Ford, you know you dont miss this Tudor. Call today!!!
