STK 2664 1957 Ford Fairlane 500

This partially restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 convertible is a head-turner. It received a partial restoration in 2017 beginning with a professional re-spray of what appears to be the original Colonial White finish. All chrome is excellent and whitewall radials are mounted on 14" steel wheels with factory correct hubcaps. The restored interior incorporates reupholstered red/white leather seating, new door cards/carpets, gauge package, factory push-button AM radio (in-op) and aftermarket AM/FM/cassette. The black convertible top is power operated and in excellent condition. Our Fairlane 500 is powered by a 312ci Y-block 'Thunderbird' Special' V8 (D-code) rated at 245 hp with single Holley 4V carb and dual exhaust. Our owner states that the motor has not been rebuilt. (According to the VIN sequence, this is the engine option that was installed by the factory.) A Ford-O-Matic automatic gearbox supplies torque to a factory differential with stock gearing. These early Ford-O-Matic gearboxes were 3-speed units that, under normal driving conditions, would start out in 2nd gear. In order to use low gear, the driver would need to shift into 'L" or accelerate hard from a stop. The solid chassis is equipped with large 11" drum brakes, new exhaust and new fuel tank. Come take a close look at this beautiful, partially restored Fairlane 500 - it belongs in your Blue Oval garage. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
