Needs some work but drive it and enjoy it. No trades. $6000 The '56 4-door hardtop is rather a rare bird. I couldn't find production numbers on google, so maybe someone has a better reference. I believe this model was a mid-year introduction and had just a limited time on the market. I recall as a kid, I was able to tour the Milpitas (CA) and watch the '56's being assembled. There was a story that when the "Fordor Victoria" (Ford's term, see brochure below) was first assembled at that plant, the rear doors would not close. These cars were held until a fix could be determined and implemented. I believe the story was documented by the San Jose Mercury-News at the time, This example would take a lot of work to even approach a dependable driver and the cost would never equal the value. Maybe someone will see value in preserving it and improve it over a period of time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Trying to remember if I've ever seen a 1956 Fordor Victoria in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivguy Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 That's a really good looking car, four door hardtops are cool. It would look great with some period custom touches. Lowered with wide whites and custom paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
