From Wikipedia

The American Ford line ofcarsgained a new body for 1955 to keep up with surgingChevrolet, although it remained similar to the1952 Fordunderneath. TheMileage MakerI6was bumped up to 223CID (3.7L) for 120hp (89kW) and the new-for-1954Y-blockV8was now offered in two sizes: Standard Fords used a 272CID (4.5L) version with 162hp (121kW) with 2-barrel carburetor and single exhaust or 182hp with 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, but the large 292CID (4.8L) unit from theThunderbirdwas also offered, boasting 193hp (144kW).

Apart from the engine changes, customers were sure to notice the newFairlane, which replaced the Crestline as the top trim level, while a newCrown Victoria-style featured a chrome "basket handle" across the familiar (and continued) "Victoria" hardtop roof, which originally appeared on theMercury XM-800concept car. This use of a styling feature to visually separate the front of the passenger compartment from the rear reappeared on the 1977-1979Ford Thunderbird, theFord FairmontFutura andMercury ZephyrZ-7 coupes. The company now marketed three different rooflines on its two-door models; the tall two-pillar Mainline,Customline, and Fairlane sedans, pillarless hardtop Fairlane Victoria and the chrome-pillar Fairlane Crown Victoria. The Fairlane Crown Victoria was also offered with a transparent "skylighted" top. New brakes were used 11-inch (280mm) drums. Also, Fords had a new frame, but still with five cross members.

The Fords introduced for 1955 also featured the panoramic windshields found onOldsmobiles,BuicksandCadillacsthe previous year. With this panoramic windshield the A-pillars have a vertical angle. this gives the driver more panoramic visibility.

For the first time, Ford offeredseat beltsas a dealer option (not factory installed, with instructions provided by a Service Bulletin). Also new for 1955 was Ford's first factory installedair conditioner. This "Select Aire" option featured an integrated heater core and evaporator coil unit within the dash and cold air discharge vents located on top of the dashon either side of the radio speaker. The "Select Aire" design was carried over to the 1956 modelswith slightly different cold air vents in the same location as on the 1955 models. The condenser was mounted in front of the radiator as in later cars.
