1955 Ford Anglia

The 1955 Ford Anglia is part of the 100E series, produced from 1953 to 1959, characterized by its modern design and practical features. It is available in two body styles: a 2-door saloon and a 3-door estate car. Powering the Anglia is a 1172 cc straight-4 engine, which provides adequate performance for everyday driving. The saloon measures 151.75 inches (3854 mm) in length, while the slightly shorter estate version spans 141.75 inches (3600 mm). Weight varies between the two, with the saloon approximately 1624 lb (737 kg) and the estate around 1792 lb (813 kg). Most models are equipped with a three-speed manual gearbox, though some feature a semi-automatic “Manumatic” gearbox. Noteworthy aspects of the 100E series include its modern three-box design, unitary construction, MacPherson strut front suspension, and semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, providing a blend of style and solid engineering.
