1955 Fairlane RHD
Here in England a friend has just acquired a 1955 Fairlane RHD built in Canada. As far as we know it was sold new in England but there is no documentation. From the VIN/Serial number we can discover that it is an 8 cyl Fairlane Town Sedan built at the Oakville, Canada plant. Can anyone assist with decoding the remaining numbers particularly the original colors?
VIN/Serial number 473C J56 125348 On the firewall there is a plate as follows :- Style 473C Body No 4139K KBC55 401 418 B3 RHD Thank you for any assistance. Colin. |

Canadian RHD 1955 Ford Fairlane Town Sedan in Australia. Some Trim has been removed. The 1955 Customline Sedan was the only model that was sold in Australia, plus the 1955 Mainline Utility. |
