Hey guys, brand new here. I have a 56 Customline Victoria I inherited from my folks. It was the first brand new car they ever owned. It's in rough shape but I've been saving the money to get started on it and the time has come. Just wondering if Ford used the same windshields in the Customlines and Fairlanes. I need a new windshield and I found one that came out of a 4 door Fairlane from 56. The guy thought they would interchange but wanted to see if anyone had any actual experience. Thanks for any help you can give me.
1956 Windshield

Looks like in 1956 a 4dr SEDAN (with door and pillar posts) windshield is NOT the same as a 2dr Victoria (no posts). See link for a good place to buy, good luck!

Nope, there's 2 different windshields for the 56's. Some have a lower roofline - I don't have my parts book handy but I think the body style 64 (Victoria/Crown Vic) and 76 (Sunliner convertible) have the lower style windshields.
I got a new one for my Fairlane, they're readily available. Got it at the local glass shop for a bit less $$ than anyplace else. But they ain't cheap.

also lay a bead of sealant around windsheild flange before you set glass or you will have leaks
