Set your ride apart from the majority of other 1956 Ford Full-Size vehicles with the addition of the optional Padded Dash that few vehicles ever received from the factory. Originally offered only as part of the 1956 “Safety Package,” we have reproduced this rare factory option in stunning detail.

The Just Dashes Difference:
Authentic "Safety Package" Profile: Features the crisp horizontal peak running across the pad, faithfully recreating the 1956 silhouette.
Superior Construction: Unlike original foam that rots or shrinks, our high-density urethane foam core is flexible, stable, and built for longevity.
Concours-Correct Detail: Wrapped in proprietary Madrid grain vinyl with UV inhibitors to protect against sun damage and cracking.
Factory-Style Alignment: Designed to enhance the outstanding grace of the 1956 Ford dashboard with precise fitment.

Fit & Installation Confidence:
Compatibility: 1956 Ford Fairlane (Various Models).
Dimensions: 56” x 9” | Weight: 12 lbs.
Direct Fit: Designed to match original factory dimensions for high-level restoration excellence.

Why This Isn’t a Dash Cap: This is a full replacement dash pad featuring a structural molded foam construction. Unlike thin plastic caps that glue over old damage, this unit provides the correct supple cushion and authentic depth of an original Ford factory interior.

FAQ 

Will this fit my 1956 Ford Fairlane? Yes. This pad is designed specifically for 1956 Ford full-size passenger models.

Is the speaker grille or metal trim included? No. This is the padded dash only, designed to align with your original factory speaker grille and instrument cluster.

Can I get a custom color? Yes. Select the "Custom" variant. We will match your original interior color using a physical sample you provide to ensure a result that looks factory-correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

Color Matching and Painting

  • Where do I send the physical color sample for my dash? Please send your color sample with your order number to: Just Dashes, 5941 Lemona Ave., Van Nuys, CA 91411.
  • Why does Just Dashes request a physical color sample? We request a physical color sample to ensure the color match is exact for your custom dash order. Without this process, we cannot guarantee a correct color match.
  • What type of color sample is required? We ask for a color sample from an interior part of your car that reflects the true, original color. Often, customers provide a strip of vinyl that has been shielded from sun exposure.
  • How large does the color sample need to be? The sample does not need to be large. A piece the size of a quarter is sufficient.

Does the dash require trimming for the intallation process?

Yes! This is a semi-professional grade product, and if you've never done a project like this, we highly recommend enlisting a local upholstery shop to help with the installation. We provide very general installation instructions, but we strongly suggest seeking professional help. And as always, measure twice, cut once.
