1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria, November 1954

01

Artifact Overview

The Fairlane series represented Ford's premium trim level for 1955, and the Crown Victoria name was used on the top two-door Fairlane cars. The B pillars behind the doors wrapped up and over the roof, giving these cars a "crown" of chrome. Years later, Crown Victoria became a separate Ford model of its own.
