Paul. Thanks for sharing.
I also had a ’56 Customline Victoria that had originally been delivered from the factory with the base 223 six cylinder engine. I quickly upgraded it early on with an FE and eventually ended up with a 427 Tunnelport in it with a 4 speed and 9” rear. That car is still one of my favorites in regards to body styles and would love to have another.
Base price for the Customline Victoria htp cpe was $1985 while base price for the Fairlane Victoria htp cpe was $2194. The base weight for the Customline htp cpe is listed at 3205 lbs. while the Fairlane htp cpe is listed at 3274 lbs.
