Car enthusiasts with a soft spot for the original Ford Fairlane should gather around and grab a seat, as we just found a copy worthy of your attention, which is looking for a new owner to cherish it for years to come.
You are looking at a 1955 model deemed an "amazing weekend cruiser" by the vendor. As you can see from the images posted above, it is an ultra-clean example that underwent a full frame-off restoration. During the lengthy and pricey process, every nut and bolt was brought back to its initial shine, which justifies the overall appearance of this old timer.

The Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria in question has a white and pink exterior paint finish, which makes it look like pure automotive candy. A chrome element separates the two colors on the profile, and we can see more shiny accents on the outside, including at the front and rear, around the windows, and on other elements. The wheels have a pink look and chrome center caps, and the tires appear to be new.

Opening the door of this classic ride will reveal a timeless design that has been brought back to life. It mixes the same hues on the front and rear seats and on other elements. According to the vendor, "every detail is consistent with the car's original design." Moreover, the cockpit is said to "provide a comfortable and luxurious driving experience," yet you shouldn't mistake it with a modern-day Rolls-Royce.

The first generation Ford Fairlane came in multiple body styles and had a few V8 engines under the hood, as well as a straight-six. Transmission options included three-speed units, and this one is a two-pedal car that packs a 272 ci (4.5-liter) V8. As you can expect from a vehicle that underwent full restoration, the engine, transmission, and other components were resurrected. The ad says the lump "delivers a smooth and powerful driving experience that's a testament to its era."

Its future owner shouldn't worry about anything, as this old timer is in perfect running condition. On top of that, it hasn't seen much action since the restoration was completed, as the odometer reads only 361 miles (581 km). As a result, it is basically a brand-new machine that was originally born nearly seven decades ago.

The Garage Kept Motors listing, which is available here, reveals an asking price comparable to a modern-day Ford Mustang. This 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria costs $38,900, and for that kind of money, you could pick up a new Mustang EcoBoost, with the 2.3-liter four-banger that churns out 315 horsepower on 93-octane fuel. So, would you get this classic one if you had nearly $40,000 to blow on your next ride?
