Vehicle Description
Arguably one of Fords most beautiful and enduring classic designs!
This gorgeous Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable is nicely optioned
with an Interceptor 332ci V8, Fordomatic, power steering & brakes,
AM radio, and fender skirts! Do not hesitate, these rare, in-demand
cars sell quickly!
With its exceptional and unequaled use of stainless steel and
chrome accents, folding & retracting hardtop roof, its embodiment
of the "Long and Low" style of the time, and its fusion of
locomotive & aviation design cues-the Ford Fairlane 500 is
certainly among the last great contributions to the legacy of Art
Deco inspired automotive styling produced in the United States.
We are very excited to offer this 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner
Retractable! Finished in code correct Raven Black/Colonial White
with two-tone White & Black combination vinyl & cloth interior,
this exceptional and very rare Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner with
retractable hard-top represents the second production year for this
classic convertible! Well ahead of its time, these cars
demonstrate, perhaps, the pinnacle of 1950's design as well as
mechanical ingenuity!
Built new from the Kansas City, MO production plant, this Skyliner
is equipped with the G-code Interceptor 332ci Special V8 engine
producing 265 horsepower & 360 lb. ft. of torque, with a Fordomatic
automatic transmission and 3.10:1 rear axle ratio. Additional
features include Swift Sure power brakes, Master-Guide power
steering, Magicaire heater/defrost system, working power
retractable top, fender skirts, all tinted glass, working
push-button AM radio, Coker Classic 4-ply wide whitewall tires &
full wheel covers, back-up lamps, and lower rocker trim!
It was frame-on restored with exceptional results! The original
condition of the undercarriage and chassis visually support this
car spent little to no time in inclement weather conditions. All
body panels show clear spot welds, factory seams, with wonderful
body gaps & fitment. New base coat/clear coat exterior paint
remains visually stunning, especially with the re-plated chrome and
polished bright work! The same can be said on the interior. The
beautifully painted dash, clear functional gauges, rebuilt original
AM radio with new speaker, all new seating upholstery & carpet,
door panels, and more! The under hood presentation doesn't
disappoint either. Small, factory details to include FOMOCO part
stickers, tags, and original components should impress at any car
show. And it remains one of the most drivable examples available
anywhere at any price.
Kept by meticulous owners in the past, this Fairlane 500 has
survived the test of time in stunning fashion! Do not delay, this
car will move fast! Included with the sale of this Fairlane 500
Retractable will be an original owner's manual and 1958 Service
Forum booklet. Please fell welcome to call with additional
questions, or to schedule a chance to view the vehicle in person.
We look forward to working with you!
