You are bidding on a very solid, ostly original, klahoma 1956 Ford Club Post Sedan. It’s in mostly original condition and is a nice summer time cruiser! She runs like a top and most things work! She is pretty straight and has a great curb presence with a tasteful two-tone paint scheme and dual spotlights. This corn-belt car is very solid and clean and still has all the FACTORY driveline along with all the FACTORY body panels it was born with! Only a few pieces of interior and exterior items have been changed. The original 312ci motor purrs and the automatic transmission doesn’t wait to move you along.
This is a rare classic car with a low reserve to protect some of its value. If the reserve is not met we will work with the high bidder to complete the sale.
Please enjoy the video: http://youtu.be/NvbiBQB4wto which shows off the car like you are standing next to it.
The Body This Club Sedan has been driven and has 91,000 miles and some of the age is showing. The body is very solid but the lower front fenders have had some minor body work done decades ago and it is starting to show. Doors and quarters look great as do the trunk drop-offs, runk floor, runk filler panel, nd spare tire well. Body is nice and shiny in its present state, o major dents but the paint is decades old and it does have several areas where the paint is peeling and flaking. A bit of pinstriping was added recently to give it more of a fifties vibe.
It’s basically a stored survivor and could be used as a cruiser or restored to original factory condition without the major expenses of rust repair. The chrome, tainless and brite work on the car is in good-to-excellent condition. Just the bumpers, irrors and door handles need to be rechromed. The bumpers could be polished to make them more presentable. The bumpers are very straight and have the factory bumper guards, ront and rear.
Window channels look good and so does the glass (no cracks or sanding marks). All the exterior trim is there with minimal pitting. Doors, runk and hood operate as they should with matching keys. Weatherstripping and rubber are good for their age but are original pieces.
Factory fender skirts have all their mounting hardware
Interior The interior is good-to-fair condition. The dark green loop carpeting is in good condition. Seats and door panels are nice but will need a cleaning. Although most of the interior is nice, here may be evidence of wear due to the age of the car. Headliner for example is starting to fray at the rear corners as is the package tray. Most everything works on the dash and the original radio is in the trunk and does not work. The steering wheel is in good condition with minor aging but does have a leather steering wheel wrap on it.
The Drivetrain is a 312ci with 2-barrel carb which runs great, dles and drives, oesn’t overheat, r really leak but has not had a tune up in a few years. The transmission operates and shifts as it should. No problems in the rearend. Steering is a bit loose and brakes, was told by the owner, ill need replaced soon but it does stop fine.
The Undercarriage is in nice condition too. Floor pans and frame are original and in good condition. Trunk drop-offs and trunk floor are nice as listed above. Spare tire along with the jack are in the trunk. Interior of the trunk has a trunk mat and the floor under it looks great. The dual exhaust system looks very good and has “FORD” accessory tips installed. The white wall tires are nice and come with factory hubcaps.
Other info: The car is in pretty much original condition with the following items replaced… battery, ires and radio.
Temperature gauge need is stuck all of the way to the right. The car only starts in neutral.
Please review the pictures regarding paint and body issues. I’m listing some of the more obvious issues but the pictures display additional flaws. Front passenger headlight bucket has major paint peeling. Hood lip has some minor rust bubbles as you can see from the pictures. Back deck in a few places on the top of the quarter panels have some paint peeling issues. Again, his is a 55-year old car that is basically original. It really has never been restored so we have tried to list everything we could but it does have a few little bumps and bruises that happen with normal driving.
Car comes with one set of factory keys and clear Ohio title.
