Vehicle Description
This 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Town Victoria is a big V8 two-tone
hardtop with such a cool cruiser attitude that you just know
there's a ton of potential within its value price.
This is the ultimate classic for many of us. 1957 has some of the
best styling elements going for it with the outstretched
headlights, full-width grille, jet-inspired tail lights, and
wraparound glass both front and rear. The body tag tells us this is
wearing its correct Starmist Blue and Colonial White two-tone, and
the full-length trim line provides a clear separation while also
highlighting the sporty kick-up that starts the tailfin in the rear
door. There's more intricate brightwork with the bumpers. The front
one is a big chrome king that includes a stylish overrider, and the
rear one has been extended to accommodate a continental kit. Fender
skirts, whitewalls, and the seriously cool pillarless hardtop sedan
profile complete a classic cruiser attitude. But there's also
something more going on here. Subtle upgrades like crystal-clear
headlights and large dual exhaust tips tell the story of an updated
car. It's not an over-the-top hot rod, but this has been maintained
to be a true driver. It was even on the 2019 Power Tour! So as you
look over this whole car, you'll see there is room for improvement
and personalization. That's why this has a value price. But
overall, it's great to see such a complete and useful example from
such a pivotal model year.
The interior has the appeal of a big classic full-size sedan where
everyone has acres of room. It carries its correct two-tone style
that harmonizes nicely with the exterior. So it's another great
reason to leave the windows down on this pillarless hardtop. You'll
even appreciate an intricate style everywhere from the door panels
to the steering wheel. You may be thinking about changing or
restoring some details, but don't forget that this one likes to be
a cruiser from day one. That's why you have key upgrades like an
auxiliary gauge trio and a retro-style AM/FM stereo that even
features Bluetooth.
Under the hood is Ford's hardy and powerful 292 cubic-inch Ford V8,
and it's presented quite nicely for this Fairlane. Plus, you've got
the right features for a solid cruiser, like a Holley four-barrel
carburetor, an updated radiator, and an Optima battery. The motor
fires up with an eagerness that reminds you this is a road trip
king. And while this one does want you to feel the road in an
old-school way, the three-speed automatic transmission makes for a
proper driver.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the cool and classic hardtop
sedan that loves to cruise and even leaves room in your budget for
a personal touch. Call today!!!
