Despite the fuss about the 1957 Chevrolets, the year's top-selling
convertible was the Ford Fairlane 500, which notched 77,728 happy
customers against Chevy's 47,562. The 1957 Ford Fairlane 500
Sunliner convertible is five inches lower and nine inches longer
than the 1956 cars. Fin fins took up almost half the length-"high
canted fenders" in Ford speak-and a golden flash led from the
headlight to the beginning of the fin at the rear of the door. This
beautifully restored Sunliner is finished strikingly in Flame Red
over Raven Black with a matching black convertible top. The
restoration is somewhat older, however this classic remains in
excellent condition today - a testament to the quality of the
restoration and the care it has received. A wide whitewall radial
tire set adds to this Ford's good looks. Built new in California,
this glamorous convertible has options and accessories that include
a spotlight mirror, chrome front V-Bar, Town & Country Wonderbar
radio, and super-rare factory air conditioning with unique
integrated air vents at the windshield base.
Under the forward-opening hood is an optional 312 cubic inch
Thunderbird Special 4-barrel V8 engine dressed up with
factory-finned aluminum Thunderbird logo valve covers. The engine
is paired with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The
correctly detailed engine bay also features optional windshield
washers, power steering, and power brakes.
