Vehicle Description
Up for sale in the Houston showroom is one gorgeous Ford, the 1957 Ford Skyliner Hardtop Convertible. The mainstream Ford line of cars grew substantially larger for 1957, a model which lasted through 1959. The Crown Victoria with its flashy chrome "basket handle" was no more, and the acrylic glass-roofed Crown Victoria Skyliner was replaced by a new model, the retracting-roof hardtop Skyliner. The 1957 models retained a single-headlight front end like their predecessors, but were unmistakable with their long flanks and tailfins. The V8 lineup included a 272 CID Y-block making 190 hp, a 292 CID Thunderbird version making 212 hp, a 312 cubic inch V8 making 245 HP and a supercharged 312 CID Thunderbird Special making 300 hp. This numbers matching Skyliner still carries its 212hp 292 cubic inch Y-Block V8 engine. Transmission choices were pretty simple, automatic or manual. This one has the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. The big news for 1957 was the introduction of the Fairlane 500 Skyliner power retractable hardtop, whose solid top hinged and folded down into the trunk space at the touch of a button. This one repaint Skyliner Fairlane 500 for sale is a lone survivor of the era. Options on this gorgeous 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner for sale include: Am/fm radio, power steering, retractable hardtop, seat belts, vinyl seats, numbers are matching, and bias ply tires with hubcaps.
