I have looked at literally Dozens of Listings on the Internet while researching 56 Sunliners and have seen a couple that List power Windows but I don't recall seeing One with Power Seats. Interesting that they were standard on 55 T-Birds and then became an Option in 56 and 57.

I don't know how rare power seats  are in sedans, but every 55 Tbird had power seats.  They were an option in 56 and 57 plus the 57's had the dial-a-matic (memory)

Power seat and windows would be rare on a '56. Cousin had one back in the day that had factory air and probably power steering and brakes but I don't think it had a power seat.

Lou, its in Canada. $50,000 CDN which is inline with Prices I have seen on similar Ones listed in US. May even be a little less when You take into Account Exchange at 20+%. There's cheaper Ones and many at higher Prices but I think this is a real nice car for the Money that I want to stay within. My Dad passed away last Month and left Me some Money. I never thought I would be able to consider buying a Sunliner but I am now going to spend some of my Kids Inheritance on a Car I have always wanted. I will be selling my 4 Door once I get it out of Storage later this Month..

Fords I had 5 or 6 55 56 Fords including a 55 Sunliner , never had bower brakes on any of them , never felt I needed them.
A power seat is a sort of rare option I've seen a few.
If you don't mind me asking what kind of money are they asking for the 56 Sunliner your looking at?

I am looking at a 56 Sunliner with serious interest in buying it. Full frame off Resto in the 90's but still in great Condition. It has Power Windows and Power Seat. I know the Power Windows are fairly uncommon but what about the Power Seat?

That would be even rarer than the Power Windows I think? More common in the pricier Mercury Line? It has Power Steering but surprisingly Manual Brakes which I can fix up myself.    


It was a fairly common high-end option-
