Potency and Additional Surety Traits Goals for 1956 Crown Vic
Although 1955 Ford cars were valued high in almost every category automobile manufacturers delight in, ranging from quality engineering to graceful styling, the car still badly lagged behind Chevrolet in sales. With that in mind, Ford designers purposely retained much of the physical appearance from the ’55 model when they designed and built the 1956 Crown Vic.
That year’s popular Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria increased the vehicle’s horsepower nearly 15 percent from the ’55 model to as high as 215 horsepower thanks to a Holley four-barrel and shaved more than two seconds off the car’s 0-60 elapsed time. What took 14.5 seconds to accomplish the previous year on its standard model now had been reduced to 12.3 seconds.
Though power was an issue for Ford in 1956, possibly more so was the company’s expressed desire to promote safety. One year earlier, in 1955, Ford became the first of the big three car companies to offer an option so that buyers could pay more to have seat belts built into its cars.
Other safety features that were introduced into the 1956 Crown Vic included stronger door latches, recessed instrument panels, padded dashboards, and recessed steering wheels.
Crown Vic’s built with a 6-cylinder engine, of which less than 10,000 were manufactured, were sold at the practically giveaway price of $2,337.
Ford gave buyers of Crown Vic’s in 1956 the option to choose from among three V-8 engines to run their cars.
A few other upgrades incorporated in the 1956 model included an automatic choke for all V-8 models, increased valve lift, a new distributor control diaphragm, and changes in the differential .
The popularity of this car seems to have risen through the years, possibly because of its stylish look, as it’s not uncommon for the 1956 Crown Vic automobile to be named Best of Class or even Best of Show in car shows in the 21st Century.
Opening doors, hoods, and trunks are just some of the moving parts you’ll see on these die-cast replicas. For the price, you hardly can score a better atheistically pleasing piece of memorabilia than these 1:32 scale 6” long replicas.
