1956 Ford Customline Tudor Sedan

Description

A two-tone classic Ford with a big 390 motor and four-on-the-floor creates a very cool hot rod kind of style. But this 1956 Ford Customline Tudor Sedan might be just a bit too thoughtful just to be called a "street machine." It has the ultra-sleek look of a low-mileage build, the A/C interior is particularly comfortable, and it has solid anytime-driving upgrades like four-wheel disc brakes. So there's a level of quality here that elevates the classic custom feeling to deliver a nice (and quite powerful) all-around driver.

This is the award-worthy kind of custom that you get to drive without feeling too showy. The paint has an awesome glow, but they did it using muted colors so you feel a bit more conservatively stylish when you're driving through the neighborhood. There's no booming stereo, and the four-speed lets you keep the V8's tune in check when you want to be incognito. So it feels like an upper class custom classic. Of course, all you have to do is give this a big downshift and awaken the big V8 when you feel like being more obvious and sinister. So it's the kind of well-done total build that lets you choose what attitude you share with the world. And that's too much fun to resist, call today!
