For Sale at Auction: 1958 Ford Fairlane in Manistee, Michigan

1958 Ford Fairlane 500

This 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 is a classic American cruiser that retains much of its original character and charm. Powered by a 332 cubic-inch (5.4L) Interceptor V8 engine rated at 240 horsepower and paired with a desirable 3-speed manual transmission with factory overdrive, this Fairlane offers a nostalgic driving experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The current owner has enjoyed and cared for the vehicle for the past 20 years. While the car has never been restored during current ownership, the seats have been professionally redone and present nicely. The owner is unsure whether any restoration work was completed prior to their purchase.

This Fairlane runs and drives, making it an excellent candidate for local cruises, shows, or as a preservation project. It remains a largely original example that may benefit from some TLC and cosmetic or mechanical attention depending on the next owner's goals.

The vehicle is equipped with functioning heat but does not have air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, or power windows, preserving the simple and authentic driving experience of the era.
