Vehicle Description
The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner is a two-door full-size retractable
hardtop convertible, manufactured and marketed by Ford Motor
Company for model years 1957-1959. The retracting roof system was
marketed as the Hide-Away Hardtop, and was exclusively sold on this
Ford-branded model, for three model years. The retractable roof
mechanism, marketed as the "Hide-Away Hardtop", was unique to
Ford-branded products, and was not offered on any Continental,
Lincoln, Mercury, or Edsel branded vehicles. This fine 1958 example
has received a comprehensive restoration. It is equipped with the
352ci H code, 300HP engine and automatic transmission. Additional
equipment and options include power steering, power brakes, air
conditioning, continental kit and Kelsey Hayes wire wheels.
