Outstanding looking Chevrolet. Who ever did the body work on this has to be a master craftsman in both metal and wood. I might have done something different on the wheels, but that is an area where there are so many options. The '56 crown Victoria in Black no less. The basic car it's self was a beautifully designed automobile and Ford should be rightfully proud of this design. The Crown Victoria was not that common in '56 probably because of it's price at the time, but it has always been one of the most desirable models to own. I remember an exceptional one owned by a class mate when I was in High School. When he turned 16 his parents gifted him their late model Crown Vic. as they were getting a new car. Ford offered an unusual shade of Red that was more of a soft color going toward a Pinkish color. The color is one of those you would have to see to understand. His had a matching interior and the car still looked like it had just rolled off the showroom floor and I don't remember ever seeing it dirty while he had it. He added some Chrome Wheels and the narrow White Wall Tires that were starting to be the style of the day. With a 312, Auto. Trans. and the new Glass Packs it got noticed where ever he went.

Crown Vics, even with the glass roof, have always been quite common in Sweden. Rumours says that they shipped over examples that were too hard to sell in the hot states to Sweden were the climate was more forgiving to the greenhouse roof....

That is a VERY nice '56 Ford Crown Vic! I've always like the '55-'56 Fords over the '57's.

The '57 while not bad cars, always had a peculiar "looking up at you" appearance to the front end. I was building a '55 Ford Victoria years ago, but it got stalled due to bad bodywork and I shelved it. I really should try to dig that one back out and finish it up.
