Vehicle Description
The Custom 300 by Ford was built for a short couple years, from
1957-1959. The Custom would be the bottom rung model with the
Custom 300 being a step up but sitting below the Fairlane and
Fairlane 500 models. It was intended for a value-conscious customer
and at times would be the first time that a second car was added to
the home. This is a good story though....This particular 300 Custom
we are happy to present is a single family owned vehicle from day
1. The current consignor of this vehicle has owned it since he was
sixteen years old. He purchased it from his Aunt that bought the
car brand new at Duthler Ford in Grand Rapids, MI. The color
combination was the way it was born, however believe the Bronze was
a little darker and less metallic. A couple years would go by and
the seller at the time was headed off to College to attend Ferris
State and study Automotive body and paint. This would be mid 1970's
where he took the car and painted it. That was 45 years ago. Still
has the original interior and drivetrain. The car runs excellent,
with the turn of the key, it starts on a dime, shifts nicely,
steers good and brakes good too. This 300 is not going to win any
beauty contests but it has a cool story. There is some surface rust
and bubbling happening in the paint and the underside is a little
scaly, but overall this is a great little driver or would make an
excellent sleeper with a big block. The car has the original window
sticker, purchase agreement and owners manual along with some old
service records. The car has been largely owner mechanically
maintained for the last fifty years. This is great car to get in to
the collector car hobby.
