When Ford debuted its new top-of-the-line Crown Victoria for the first time in 1955, the dazzling new model, featuring a bright chrome “tiara,” was an instant success, creating one of the most famous Ford designs of all time.
This 1955 Ford Crown Victoria is widely considered “the best of the best,” having recently captured the highest honor that can be bestowed upon it when it won the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) Senior Grand National Award in June of 2018.
The subject of an intense, correct, eight-year restoration, the show-winning Ford is simply stunning. A high level of detail is seen in every aspect of the restoration, from correct panel fit, to the engine compartment with appropriate wiring, clips, and stamps to insure this would be one of the finest Crown Victorias in the world when completed. The impressive list of factory options on this car include a 292-cu. in. four-barrel V-8 engine, power steering, power brakes, AM radio, fender skirts, correct bias-ply whitewall tires, Ford-O-Matic transmission, fender skirts, tinted glass, rear antenna, and continental spare. The mirror-gloss, Torch Red and Snowshoe White paint is striking, and is complemented with matching leather interior, accented with sparkling chrome trim.
This fabulous Ford represents a high point in fifties American automotive styling, and the Crown Victoria has long been coveted and sought after by collectors. This is a rare opportunity for the astute collector to acquire one of the very best quality 1955 Crown Victorias in the world.
