Vehicle Description
The 1957 Ford Fairlane was a distinctive model year, and this
example showcases that with a highly preserved appearance that also
gives this two-tone V8 classic a great story to tell.
As you look around the whole car you are going to see a ton of
originality. That's because this car has history. The gentleman who
purchased this Fairlane new passed in 1964, and his sister kept the
car until her passing in 2000. This created a family legacy for
over four decades, and that set the stage to continue the car's
preservation. The correct Doeskin Tan and Colonial White package is
suspected to be the factory application. And it has the right aged
personality for people to suspect it the originality from the
beginning. So it's easy to tell this car's unique story. There's
also a wonderful completeness to this car. The wraparound bumpers
are mirror-like; the body panels have a quality fit; and the full
trim is bright as it distinctively separates the two-tone. It
really gets the classic cruiser look correct, right down to the
wheel covers with white accents that coordinate with whitewall
tires.
Inside is more authenticity. There have been some of the right
updates, but nothing breaks the spell that makes you feel like
you're in a true 1950s cruiser. Even the AM radio is still working!
The seats are finished in a nice color to coordinate with the
exterior tan. The cloth inserts have a cool pattern that also
coordinates with the brown on the door panels, carpeting, and dash.
The full trim package has that right look of age for originality,
and so it gives you a nostalgic feeling, right down to the Ford
family crest in the middle of the steering wheel.
Underneath the sporty forward-latch hood is the 292 cubic-inch V8.
These C-code motors were known as Thunderbird V8s, and so it earns
the extra flair on the valve covers. And with the history on this
car, the consignor states that this is the original block. The car
was given about an $8k refresh around the time when it left the
original family, and today that means a classic Ford that still
know how to hit the boulevard. You control the V8 with the
column-shifted three-speed manual transmission for a nice vintage
feel, and the glasspack-style dual exhaust gives that extra hint of
tone that makes these quite fun.
The sale comes compete maintenance records and title documentation.
