Vehicle Description
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner convertible DGC8357 VIN C7RW208357
This 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner convertible was reportedly
purchased by the previous owner's uncle in the early 1960s, and it
spent time in California prior to its acquisition by the previous
owner in 2005. Refinished in white and orange over a two-tone
interior some time prior to the previous owners acquisition. The
car was originally finished in Inca Gold and Colonial White. The
C-code 292ci V8 is equipped with a single carburetor and
Thunderbird-branded valve covers. Power is sent to the rear wheels
through a three-speed manual transmission and a 3.56:1 rear axle..
Equipment includes a power-retractable "Hide-Away Hardtop" that
works great. fender-mounted side mirrors, air conditioning. I think
it'll work I think it just needs charging which we will do it when
we get it serviced and safety checked. The power-retractable
"Hide-Away Hardtop" was introduced in 1957 and was available for
three model years. The cabin is trimmed in black and white vinyl
with color-coordinated door panels. Lap belts are fitted for front
and rear occupants. We just had it all serviced and safety checked
and it's ready to go except for looking to get the air charged.
Andrew said it was really comfortable to drive and it just runs
down the road just fine as the original stock radio that does not
work. The heater works. This is not a show car, but it shows well.
The carpets are a little weak and some of the trim could be better
but overall I think you'll enjoy this car a lot. After looking at
the underside you can just tell nothing is ever been done with the
Underside. We did not find any rust but there is a patch in the
floor pan and I assume it's a rust patch but I don't That for sure.
Also, this Ford has power disc brakes on the front drums on the
rear. Michelin all season white wall radial tires that look like
new. This beautiful Ford convertible is ready for you to enjoy and
I know you will.
