Steven Tyler sang that the color pink was his new obsession (a lyric taken from the Aerosmith song “Pink”). And this is what came to our collective and demented minds after laying our eyes on this image of the Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner. It’s a good thing though that this vehicle came in more than one color.

But even though this version of the Skyliner sported the color pink, don’t think that this full-sized vehicle was slouch just because it was covered in a feminine shade. The car also came with other unique features as well. One of these features was a chrome “basket handle.” This handle could be found stretched across the roof of the car, particularly across its B-pillar. The car also came with a smoked acrylic glass window over the front seat. These features, along with its feminine colors, made the car earn the moniker “Glasstop Vicky.”

Although it looked unique, the 1955 Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner failed to win customers. Because of problems with keeping the car cool, a lot of customers shied away from it. This caused production to end after two years, with the Skyliner name used instead for the hardtop Ford convertibles released in 1957.

But even though it wasn’t able to achieve the amount of success Ford wanted, the ’55 Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner is still one of the vintage cars considered to be a classic among car enthusiasts.
