pilou ◊ 2007-12-07 12:33	This is not a 1956 Ford Customline but a 1956 Ford Mainline Fordor sedan : on the Customline the side molding trim was prolonged to the headlights , on the Mainline it stopped at the front edge of the rear door covering only the rear fender and rear door as on this one.

You're right about Customlines. I don't have the exhaustive Crestline book on Ford, just had pictures of Mainline models with no side trim at all. As for Dynamike's remark: my sources say that "Tudor" and "Fordor" appelations lasted until 1958. -- Last edit: 2007-12-07 15:17:33
pilou ◊ 2007-12-07 16:05	I agree with Ray B that the terms Fordor and Tudor were used much later than in 1952 and even after 1958 when there were no specific body designations .I have a 1961 US Ford brochure using those terms to distinguish 2 and 4 door Falcons and 2 and 4 door Ranch Wagons still with the Fordor and Tudor appellation.But by then most other models in the different Ford lines had received specific body designations.I have another document of the Ford Motor Company of Belgium dated 1964 still using the Fordor and Tudor appellation even in the Galaxie line to distinguish the pillared sedans , but it may not have been applicable by then in the States.It testifies that these terms were well known to Ford customers since their introduction on the model T.
