1957 Ford Fairlane

This Fairlane needs a new Blue Oval fan to pamper it, one who will appreciate the beautiful style of this full size classic.
STK 2072 1957 Ford Fairlane Everything was cool in 1957. Kookie was driving a 23 T on the Sunset Strip and cars from the Big Three were growing fins. Back in the late 30s all Detroit square cars received rounded corners. For the next 20 years, they all looked pretty much the same. Then came the mid-fifties and style became King - every year, a brand new look.
The style of the 1957 Ford Fairlane was a radical departure from earlier models. They were longer, lower, wider and sported rear fins - albeit not as large as their counterparts down the street. It was, and still is, a beautiful car.
This Fairlane 500 two-door post is a great example of 1957 performance and style. It is powered by a numbers-matching big-block 312 cid Thunderbird V8. A two-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission drives a stock rear differential.
The exterior has had a total re-spray of 2-tone red/white and looks great. Kelsey Hayes wire-wheels, wide-whites and fender skirts provide nice accents. Both front and rear clips have received some minor customization. The four-headlight set-up is somewhat unusual.
It is said that Ford produced 8 cars with those fenders. It certainly does not appear to be an after-market conversion set-up. The grill and bumpers are also different from stock.
The interior is in overall very good condition. Seats have been reupholstered in red/white vinyl. All of the individual components are very sharp, including the dashboard, headliner, carpeting and door panels. Comfort and safety options include factory A/C, AM/FM, power steering and power trunk.
