Vehicle Description
1957 was a good year for cars, as this frame-off restored 1957 Ford
Fairlane 500 Skyliner retractable hard top demonstrates. When
introduced, the Skyliner was the only true hardtop convertible in
the world. The mechanism which folded and retracted the roof was
also unique, being powered entirely by electrics--no hydraulics.
Another surprise--the mechanism was remarkably reliable!
Jerry's Classic Cars http://www.jerrysclassiccars.com in
Springdale, AR completed a thorough frame-off restoration of this
beautiful two-tone blue Skyliner in April 2017. The car was solid
to begin with, yet was completely disassembled, and made all new
before being carefully reassembled. The frame was powder-coated,
and every single body panel sandblasted on both sides, repaired if
necessary, primed, cured, painted, color sanded and buffed. The
entire drivetrain was refinished, bearings and seals replaced,
engine rebuilt, transmission rebuilt.
Just shy of a thousand hours by a long-time professional crew
focused only on Fords of this era was invested to elevate this car
to the pinnacle of quality. Jerry's cars often fetch the highest
prices at Mecum auctions around the country, but you can avoid all
that hassle and simply call Art & Speed at (901) 850-0507. Sit in
the car, take it for a test drive! Don't take our word for it,

condition. Financing http://www.artandspeed.com/finance
