1956 Ford Country Squire

For 1956, alongside all Fords, the Country Squire received a new grille, distinguished by rectangular turn signals and parking lights and wider openings, and Ford upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system, allowing additional starting power and the introduction of air conditioning as an option. The Lifeguard option package was introduced, offering a deep dish steering wheel and upgraded door latches. In 1956 the two door Parklane was introduced to compete with the Chevrolet Nomad.
