Vehicle Description
This Ford Fairlane 500 is correctly restored with authentic
interior and trim. It is powered by the Thunderbird Special 312
Y-Block V-8 and Cruise-O-Matic transmission. For 1957| a new style
gave a longer, wider, lower, and sleeker look with low tailfins.
The new proportions and modern styling were a hit with customers to
the extent that the Ford outsold Chevrolet in 1957 for the first
time since 1935. A new top trim level was reversed| the Fairlane
500. The 1957 models retained a single-headlight front end like
their predecessors| but were unmistakable with their long flanks
and tailfins. A plethora of trim lines was introduced starting with
the base Custom Custom 300 Fairlane and top-line Fairlane 500.
