Full Description

Robert Wehe Estate - Sparks Nevada
1958 Ford 500 Fairlane Retractable Hardtop P2T
Two Tone Paint Turquoise & Colonial white
Interior matching turquoise & white
The Skyliner should not be mistaken for a Sunliner, which was the standard soft-top convertible.
The Skyliner is a hardtop car with a metal roof that raises up, then folds & retracts into the trunk compartment and transforms itself into a roadster convertible.
It was literally an electro-mechanical engineering wonder in its day. Even today, people still stare in amazement as they watch it operate.
Ford built these Skyliners only 3 years; 1957, 58 & 59. They are rarely seen today.
Occasionally, you may see a '57 or a '59 but it is extremely unusual to see a '58.
This one, being the rare 1958, was the first year to use 4 individual headlamps and the only year ever to have 4 individual tail lamps.
Engine 332 v8 & 4 bbl carburetor backed with a 3 speed Cruiseomatic.
Masterguide power steering,
Two tone turquoise & white.
