We have a restored 1956 Ford Sunliner here at Adventure Classics that is an iconic convertible with the factory 312 cubic inch V8, blue & white interior, and the white power top!
This is one of the true iconic 1950’s convertibles that stylists designed with the full-length chrome trim line that descended to the doors and then back to the rear providing a dividing line for the paint scheme, in this case, blue and white.
The motor that is powering this beauty is a rebuilt 312 cubic-inch V8 that was shared with the Thunderbirds of that year. It has the block, heads, and intake painted the correct red, Thunderbird valve covers that do a great job of attracting attention, factory correct grey painted air cleaner assembly, factory cast iron exhaust headers, and other original looking restored components like the ignition, fuel pump, and alternator, and all belts and hoses.
It is sitting in a very restored, clean, painted, and detailed engine compartment looking jus as it did when it was new.
The V8 is mated to Ford’s two-speed automatic transmission for good comfort and the power 0n the highway makes this an effortless cruiser.
