Lot #696.1 - This 1956 Meteor Rideau Crown Victoria is one of 206 units built and underwent a body-off-the-frame fresh restoration completed in 2020. The restoration included the refinishing and detailing of the undercarriage, as well as a new interior and a detailed engine bay. During the restoration, virtually all the chrome was either replated or replaced and the stainless moldings were polished, and the Meteor emblems that are unique to this car were retained. Many new parts and components were installed on the car, including, but not limited to, a new master cylinder, brake lines, shocks, stainless-steel gas tank, fuel sender unit, exhaust, control arm bushings, idler arm bushings, headliner, windshield and more. The Crown Victoria is powered by a 292ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission and features power steering, Town & Country radio, wire basket wheel covers, Continental kit, fender skirts, rear deck antenna and backup lamps. Documents include an original letter from the historical consultant at Ford Motor Company verifying the car's authenticity as well as the owner history. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
