Details: | 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 yearsand#44; they all looked pretty much the same. Then came the mid-fifties and style became King - every yearand#44; a brand new look. The style of the 1957 Ford Fairlane was a radical departure from earlier models. They were longerand#44; lowerand#44; wider and sported rear fins - albeit not as large as their counterparts down the street. It wasand#44; and still isand#44; 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-wheelsand#44; 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. ..dont know?.. 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 sharpand#44; including the dashboardand#44; headlinerand#44; carpeting and door panels. Comfort and safety options include factory A/Cand#44; AM/FMand#44; power steering and power trunk. This Fairlane needs a new Blue Oval fan to pamper it - one who will appreciate the beautiful style of this full size classic.Call 800-650-1055 or visit www.autobarnclassiccars.com for additional information.
