Potency and Additional Safety Traits Goals for 1956 Crown Vic
Chevrolet automobiles sold much better than Ford models in 1955 although Ford was rated high in styling and engineering. With that in mind, Ford designers purposely retained much of the physical appearance from the ’55 model when they designed and built the 1956 Crown Vic.
Focusing on increased speed, the ’56 model upped its horsepower nearly 15 percent and eclipsed the previous year’s 0-60 time by 2.3 seconds. The bottom line was that the more powerful Holley engine allowed drivers to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 12.3 seconds, compared to 14.5 seconds in the same car one year earlier.
Though power was an issue for Ford in 1956, possibly more so was the company’s expressed desire to promote safety. The year before, in 1955, Ford had followed the lead set by Nash in 1949--which by 1955 had long since merged with Hudson to become American Motors Company (AMC)--by offering seat belts, at an extra price, as an option for buyers.
Part of the 1956 Ford’s strong emphasis on safety also included padded dashboards and stronger door latches.
It’s hard to believe that the less powerful 6-cylinder Crown Vic sold for as little as $2.337.
In addition, the auto was sold with three variations of V-8 engines ranging between a two-barrel with 173 horsepower to the larger Holley four-banger with up to 215 hp.
A few other upgrades incorporated in the 1956 model included an automatic choke for all V-8 models, increased valve lift, a new distributor control diaphragm, and changes in the differential .
The popularity of this car seems to have risen through the years, possibly because of its stylish look, as it’s not uncommon for the 1956 Crown Vic automobile to be named Best of Class or even Best of Show in car shows in the 21st Century.
Opening doors, hoods, and trunks are just some of the moving parts you’ll see on these die-cast replicas. These 1:32 scale replicas that are 6” long certainly make a picturesque conversation showpiece when placed on one’s desk at work or at home.
