Following introduction of the all-new “Y-Block” V-8 engine for 1954, the 1955 Ford models were completely redesigned with longer, lower and wider bodies, two-tone finishes, distinctive brightwork and striking interiors. The front grille was given an updated look; the Fairlane also featured “eyebrows” above the headlamps and chrome side-sweep moldings. Some Ford models received the “glass roof” and it was an immediate hit in the showrooms.

This transparent roof Ford has been restored in factory two-tone colors that are Snowshoe White over an Aquatone Blue. This lovely paintwork is accented by exquisite brightwork, chrome exhaust tips, dual fender mounted mirrors, fender skirts, whitewall tires, full wheel covers and a Continental tire kit. The interior is complete with matching blue and white two-tone interior, a tissue dispenser and a deluxe AM radio with a rear speaker. Powering this two-door classic is a 272 cubic inch eight-cylinder engine that is thoughtfully paired with an automatic transmission. During the restoration of this Ford NOS parts were used and the cars electrical system was converted to 12-volts.
