Summary

[edit]
Description

The 1955 Fords shared the same structure as the 1954 Ford. New features included Thunderbird inspired tailfins, wrap around windshield, forward leaning headlight bezels and body side trim. 1956 saw a slight facelift, the indicators were flattened out, grille now rectangular holes. Like the earlier 1952-54 US Fords, the newer shape 1955-56 Fords were also assembled and sold in Australia. Unique to Australia was the V8 Mainline Coupe Utility, (the US front clip and the chassis from the US 2 door convertible), along with the V8 Customline Sedan and a few Customline wagons. When the US got a new shape in 1957, Australian built cars continued on with the 55-56 shape until 1959, with minor facelifts each year. The 1957 model featured a large V8 badge in the grille. The 1958/59 model used the 1955 Canadian Meteor grille with a four-pointed star and 1956 Meteor side trim, this, the final series, known as the Star model was available in two models, the Customline and the Fordomatic.
