One of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen! Complete body off frame restoration by the countries' leading 57-59 Fairlane expert: Jerry Miller! Drop dead gorgeous, the colors are amazing. The list of options is off the charts from air conditioning, power windows and seat to a continental kit, spotlights, wire wheels and much more.

EXTERIOR: The fit and finishes are superior to when it was new. The body is laser beam straight and fits right. Repainted in stunning factory colors of Dusk Rose and Mocha, the two together are amazing. The Mocha has metallic which is laid out evenly and both colors are polished like glass. The jambs are slick too. All of the chrome and trim was replaced including vent window frames, anodized inserts on each side, and all the accessories. It has optional dual spot lights with mirrors, v-bar on front bumper, bumper guards, rocker moldings with stone shields, a/c emblems and trunk mount antenna. The continental kit has a full wheel cover painted 2 tone and has extra chrome trim. The power top is a rich Mocha brown cloth; it's very classy! On the ground is a set of sparkling Kelsey Hayes wire wheels wrapped in fat radial white wall tires.

INTERIOR: The 2 tone upholstery matches the exterior spot on. It's completely restored inside. The upholstery, door panels and carpet was replaced. It also has some embroidered mats. All the metal trim was painted. It has rare factory air conditioning vents built into the lower windshield trim. The dash area is restored like new, it has optional padded dash and padded visors. It also has power windows and seat! The Town and Country radio is upgraded with modern internals. I looked under the dash, it looks new there too!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Completely restored to like new! It has the 312-245hp Thunderbird Special motor that runs smooth. Every component is restored and detailed. The engine bay is painted slick and even has factory decals replaced. It features power steering and power brakes.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's painted dusk rose and is just as slick as the car. The plaid mat, well liner, weatherstrip, and decals were replaced. It has a restored jack and spare.

UNDERSIDE: It's even beautiful underneath! The body was off the frame, every component was replaced or restored. The underbody is pristine, clean metal painted dusk rose. The steering and suspension has been completely rebuilt. The entire brake system has been redone, lines, hoses and e-brake assembly was replaced. The fuel system was completely replaced as the correct dual exhaust system with the fancy tips below the back bumper. Looking up at the motor it is still spotless. The Cruis-o-matic transmission is fresh and the original rear end with 3.10 gears was restored.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

I have bought and sold tens of thousands of beautiful collector cars, this is in my top 5 of favorites! Everything about it rings the bell.
