The LIMITED EDITION 1955 FORD FAIRLANE VICTORIA

This was fun mail because even though it was another FORD, it wasn't the usual Convertible or Crown Victoria.  It was more the "working man's" Ford, yet flashy enough to get second looks and envious frowns from the neighbors.  And yet, it was actually a well conceived "restyle" of the previous years '54 models.  This most noticeable of this is with the Fairlane Victoria's "Hardtop Roof-line", which was actually worn by the '54.  But this didn't matter as Ford was able to win buyers over.  

The two-tone color combination of "PINETRE GREEN & NEPTUNE GREEN' on DANBURY MINT'S makes this a modern looking car.  There was no hesitation in my ordering this one!  I like it because it's different and it's a Ford that you don't usually see when attending old car shows.

That was a nice design, I'm sorry that I didn't get any of the 1955 Fords.

What a beauty! I loved the simpler and clean lines of the Victoria. And what great colors.

George, Like you I didn't hesitate ordering this model. It fit in beautifully with the other body styles that were bein offered. Too bad we didn't get a wagon.

@bob-jackman, oh man, I'd have been all over a '55 Wagon.  They were so much of the landscape back in the Fifties.

@sizedoesmatter, get that piece of paper out with your Bucket List on it, and add this Ford.  Oh and put it on the list in the #1 slot.  Smile
