This Ford Customline got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1956 Ford Customline Tudor hardtop was purchased by the seller in 2019 and was refurbished and modified in 2024 with work that included a repaint in purple and silver as well as the installation of a 351ci Windsor V8 and a three-speed automatic transmission. The interior was re-trimmed in purple and gray with red accents and features an inoperative Custom Autosound stereo, JBL speakers, and an aftermarket under-dash air conditioning system. Additional details include an aluminum radiator, a dual exhaust system, an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, an Edelbrock carburetor, fender-mounted mirrors, power-assisted Wilwood front disc brakes, and 15″ wheels with full covers and whitewall tires. This modified Customline is now offered with a clean California title in the name of the seller’s business.

The two-door hardtop body was repainted in purple and silver during the refurbishment completed in 2024 and features gold-finished deck-lid trim along with chrome bumpers and moldings that were also refurbished, according to the selling dealer. Details include fender-mounted mirrors, door-mounted mirrors, Victoria badging, rear fender skirts, and dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips.

The front bucket seats and rear bench were re-trimmed in purple and gray with red piping during the refurbishment, and they are accompanied by a painted dash panel and red carpeting. An aftermarket under-dash air conditioning system is installed along with a Mustang-sourced floor shifter and a Custom Autosound stereo linked to JBL rear shelf speakers. The seller notes the radio does not work.
