Is there such an animal

[Guest AlK]

I was at a car show this past saturday and got into a discussion with a young man who stated he has a 1955/56

Ford Fairlane-Thunderbird. I asked which one because I was firmly convinced that such an animal of that sort

did not exist. He claimed the there was a script on the car that was the Ford t-bird and the wording underneath

was "Fairlane Thunderbird". Anybody have specific first hand knowledge of this beast. I for one have never heard of it before now, but that and $1.25 will get you a cup of coffee.

I know Ford did make some Show Birds (preproduction) with Fairlane headlight doors and side trim.

I have read no production cars came from the factory that way.

But some say they did.

I know people have added the trim maybe they added to script too.

I have never heard of any with fairlane script.

No I think it is the otherway around based on the guys description. These are not t-birds with fairlane scripts, these are fairlanes with some form of modified t-bird script.

thank you

What he may have been referring to was the fender emblem found on 55-56 Fairlanes with the Thunderbird engine option.
