"STK 3776 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner
The Ford Skyliner was a retractable hardtop/convertible model produced by Ford from 1957 thru 1959.The Skyliner was known for its innovative retractable roof mechanism, which allowed the car to transform from a closed hardtop to an open convertible, combining the practicality of a hardtop with the driving experience of a convertible. This partially restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 is a nice, mostly original example of the Skyliner. It is quite unique as it is virtually 'complete' - finding replacement parts for this rare model can be difficult. The previous owner has cared for this classic for over 10 years. The Skyliner received a re-spray of Colonial White in 1979 and all chrome/stainless components are in very good condition. Remington wide-white bias ply tires are mounted on 14"" steel wheels with factory correct full hubcaps.
The original interior is in overall good condition showing only some minor age-related wear. Upholstery, dash and door cards show well and the carpeting appears to have been carefully preserved. Other interior features include an factory AM radio (needs TLC) and tinted windows,. The power assisted folding hardtop also functions well. This Fairlane 500 is powered by a Y-block 'Thunderbird' 312ci V8 rated at 245hp with a single 4-barrel carb. It is said to have never required a rebuild and runs strong. A 3-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox supplies torque to the factory open differential w/3.56:1 gearing (code 2). The chassis is equipped with power steering and manual brakes w/11"" drums. The classic 1957 Ford Skyliner remains a sought-after collector's car among automotive enthusiasts. This is a nice one. ALL VEHICLES SOLD ""AS IS"".
