I just purchased an original dealer sales invoice on Ebay.1956 Ford Town sedan(like mine).Sold on Sept.24 1956 from a dealer in Blackstone,VA.

Base price-$2479.00.Add Fordomatic $179.00.Safety package "A" which I assume was padded dash and visors-$18.00,312 engine upgrade-$33.00.Add a fresh air heater defroster-$80.00.Windshield washer-$13.00.This particular car was 2 tone Platinum Grey and Colonial White,"Styletone" paint-$35.00.One thing I found interesting was the fact no sales tax as it was"reimbursed by the manufacturer".I guess even back then there were special incentives to buy a Ford.Trade-in was a 1950 Ford 4dr sedan--trade value $1000.00, Wonder what became of this car?
