Vehicle Description
The 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable was quite an
engineering feat for Ford back in the late 50s, with multiple
electric motors, relays, solenoids, and more needed to retract the
iconic hideaway hardtop. The white retractable hardtop on this
particular '58 Ford is in excellent shape and goes up and down with
ease, with the simple push of a button. The 1958 Fords also
underwent a significant redesign from the 1957 models, with
futuristic looking honeycomb grilles, simulated air scoops on the
hood, and perhaps most notable, dual headlights. This particular
1958 Fairlane 500 Skyliner was manufactured on November 27, 1957 in
Ford's Dearborn, Michigan manufacturing plant. Under the hood of
this 1958 Fairlane 500 Skyliner is a 332 Cubic Inch V8 Engine with
a Single 4 Barrel Carburetor, both of which are correct for this
particular G-Code car. Dual exhaust gives this '58 Ford a nice
throaty sound. Anybody can drive this classic '58 Ford because it
is correctly equipped with a Ford-O-Matic 2 Speed Automatic
transmission. This Fairlane 500 Retractable also features the very
desirable driving option of Power Steering which makes turning much
easier and was a $69 option back when this car was ordered new from
the factory. This Ford Skyliner has been refinished in its correct
Silverstone Green exterior paint which remains in very good
condition. The chrome, brightwork, and exterior trim on this 1958
Skyliner are all in great shape and show well. A rear-mounted
continental kit adds to 50s nostalgia look on this '58 Skyliner as
well. This Ford Retractable sits on 4 wide whitewall bias-ply tires
with full wheelcovers, finishing the exterior look of the car. The
Green Sof-Textured Vinyl with Green Box Stripe Cloth Bench Seat
Interior is correct for the car and is in wonderful shape. The dash
and steering wheel are color-matched to the look of the car and are
in nice stock condition. The "trunk" compartment is also in nice
shape, having been recently detailed. Whether you are looking for a
nice, correct, and well-optioned 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner to
add to an existing collection or you're looking to start your own
collection, we've got the perfect car for you right here at
