Good looking ranch wagon. Love the color combo.

It's the upscale Parklane, with a Crown Vic/Sunliner-type interior. In '57 it became the Del Rio.
Really pretty wagons with a very classy look.

You're right Tom. It is the Parklane. Ranch Wagon was just the first name I thought of.

1:1PIC: Thanks for this one Doug...The colors are Bermuda Blue (darker) and Diamond Blue (lighter).
My Dad had a '56 Town Sedan in that same color combo, which I helped pick all those years ago. It looked pretty much like this one that I found on the www.

Absolutely beautiful. I see that local plate., so there is hope that I'll see the 1:1 someday. Where did you photograph it?

Tom, that was at the Johnston Memorial Park on Memorial day.
It's a great show and the first one of the season.

After drooling at this , what was the big deal over Nomads's & Safari's
These Fords are Beautiful can't be Convertible style doors (Frameless)

I actually like this better than Chevy's Nomad.
But then I also think the 56 Ford is one of the best looking cars of the 50's.
