Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Kansas City is pleased to present a 1957
Ford Custom 300 for sale! In the heyday of the late 1950s, Ford
completely restyled its lineup to compete with the offerings from
GM. The new cars had more sculpted bodies, were much lower overall,
and the signature tail fins of the era made their first appearance.
During this period, the Custom and Custom 300 lines were Ford's
entry-level models. Luxury features were limited to driver's side
armrest and sunshade on the Custom, and two visors and armrests on
the Custom 300.Ford Customs of this era were available as two- or
four-door sedans, or as a two-door business coupe with a parcel
shelf in place of the back seat. The business coupe was not offered
in the higher trim level Custom 300. The Engine choice in this
Custom line is Ford's 272-cid V-8 engine at 190 hp. Also optioned
was the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.This Blue and White
sedan is a total cruiser, now featuring a 4 barrel carb to smooth
out the fuel delivery. Also a new master cylinder and new front
brakes help stop this '57 Ford!
