UANGBM88 Riding a 106-inch wheelbase, these four-door sedans and four-door wagons represented Ford's strongÂest-ever claim to Detroit design leadership: clean, smooth, and carefully detailed, yet not lumpy like some other low-drag "aero" cars. Some wondered whether Bill Ford could turn the company around, but he silenced many skeptics by moving swiftly to put Ford's "Glass House" in order. Ford wouldn't top Chevy again until 1934 despite scoring a coup with America's first low-priced V-8. A full steel-roof model was also offered for $70 less than the "bubble-topper"; predictably, it sold much better: 33,000-plus to just 1999. The totals were 9209 and just 603 for '56, after which the Crown Vic was dumped.|As Shown in the Disassembly Photo
