I must have left my gas cap at the station. Dunno how long its been missing, but at least a few months. The car is a '56 Ford Victoria. I checked at Advance Auto and they don't have. Looked at Rock Auto and they have a "universal" which looks like it would work, but thought I'd check here first for any ideas. Thanks.

Also find out if it needs to be vented or non-vented. If the gas tank in the car doesn't have a vent tube to outside air, you'll most likely need a vented cap.

The correct non-vented cap for your car is part # G22. It has the deeper ears you need.

It doesn't mention your car in the listing but it's there, on the bottom of the box (which they don't show).

An RG31 may work, this is a non-vented cap. Fits many 1953 to 1963 Fords. I have one on my '59.

I don't think that'll work. Ears aren't deep enough. I have an aftermarket '55 tank (vented) in mine and the G22 fits perfectly.
Here's the difference between the two styles.......

evintho for the win! I think that the "ears" need to be longer, and based on the picture he shows, it looks like a match for me. I've ordered it from ebay and it will be here next week. I'll let you know if it fits. Thanks all for responding and including links.

The Stant G22 gas tank cap came today and is a perfect fit. The listing on the eBay ad has it as a Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, etc, but as evintho pointed out, on the box, the list goes on to include Edsel, Ford 1953-63 (except Station Wagon, Skyliner, and Fairlane), Lincoln 53-60, Mercury 53-58 and 61,62,63 (except Station Wagon), Plymouth 53,54 (except Station Wagon)

Thanks evintho and all the others who took the time to respond.
