For 1955, Ford gave its line of cars a face lift with a panoramic windshield and upgraded the power to the "6" and added another larger, borrowed from the "T-bird", V-8. Some of the models names were also changed as the Crestline became the Fairlane. Within the Fairlane model line was the extraordinary Crown Victoria. Its outstanding features include the glass top and chrome "basket handle" connecting both "B" pillars which was borrowed from the Mercury XM-800 show car. For auction is a fine example of this eye catching style. Partially restored in 2005, it has gone 5,000 miles and still has the original motor. It is a stunning two-tone car in the popular combination of Torch Red and White. The theme of red and white continues throughout the interior with vinyl seats.
