The color on your car wasn't offered until 1956 Fairlane, I have the same car and same color but on my data plate I used the original color code, I ordered a plate from the same people that made the plate you are showing. The closest they came to that color was an all blue which was the original and the interior was vinyl not cloth. The guy that sold me the car was telling me how important it was to keep them stock, then I found out mine color and interior wasn't stock and I was entering it into car shows as stock and one day this old gentleman was looking at my car, he said you the owner, I said yes, he said you know this color combination didn't come out until 1956, that's when I started checking and found out he was right. So I converted my to an alternator, put Petronix in the distributor and eliminated the points, since the I converted it to 12 volt system, currently getting ready to put a 1957 intake manifold and a new Holley carb with a new electronic distributor so I can enjoy driving my car with power and without hesitation I have with the stock system. So if you bought this as color oriented for 55 somebody didn't tell you the truth but it doesn't matter, you have a beautiful car and that color turns heads everywhere you go.
