Full Description

This Ford Fairlane 500 is correctly restored with authentic interior and trim.
It is powered by the Thunderbird Special 312 Y-Block V-8 and Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
For 1957| a new style gave a longer, wider, lower, and sleeker look with low tailfins.
The new proportions and modern styling were a hit with customers to the extent that the Ford outsold Chevrolet in 1957 for the first time since 1935.
A new top trim level was reversed| the Fairlane 500.
The 1957 models retained a single-headlight front end like their predecessors| but were unmistakable with their long flanks and tailfins.
A plethora of trim lines was introduced starting with the base Custom Custom 300 Fairlane and top-line Fairlane 500.
