This 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 strikes that perfect balance between barn find and cool cruiser. Youll turn heads everywhere with the great two-tone paintand#44; but the real interesting part is when you lift the hood and everyone see the exceptionally original condition of the big block V8. 1958 was a great year for the Fairlane coupe. It carries a lot of design cues from its square Thunderbird relativeand#44; but the larger coupe gets a few distinctive round touches such as the c-pillarand#44; fender skirtsand#44; and arched tail-fins that run the entire back half of the car. The new aggressive styling features quad headlightsand#44; and for this year onlyand#44; a hood scoop. Because this is a top-of-the-line Fairlane 500 modeland#44; the amount of chrome on this coupe can just about be described in acres. The most impressive piece of this brightwork is the special strip that runs the length of the car and contains a gold insert. It separates the Seaspray Green from the Silverstone Green. In factand#44; with the light green on the roof tooand#44; this could almost be called a tri-color car. It shines nicely thanks to a respray of the factory color about halfway through this coupes life. Inside is a similar situation. The seats have been reupholsteredand#44; but it is in the correct two-tone light and dark green vinyl. It appears just like the factory madeand#44; but this is much more clean and comfortable. Everything else appears to be originaland#44; which is something rarely seen anymoreand#44; especially on the carpet and headliner. But whats most impressive is the dashboard. You really dont see them in this well preserved condition because over time knobsand#44; buttonsand#44; and the hard to find chrome trim goes missing. Thats what makes this car such an attraction to enthusiasts. Were especially keen to call this a survivor by whats under the hood. The exterior has been restored to factory standardsand#44; but the engine bay and its 332 cubic-inch V8 looks like it has only been touched to maintain it as a strong runner. Youll be amazed at how many people at car shows will skip over the chrome kings just to have a peek at this highly original V8. This would be the perfect time to take out the pictures of this car when it was found in a barn (yesand#44; its a real-deal barn find!) This time capsule is a genuine driver with a two-speed automatic transmissionand#44; and a 4.11 rear end to make it easy to get-up-and-go from every stop sign. This is one of the most interesting vintage coupes you can pick up for the money. The exterior brightwork is beautifuland#44; but the engine steals the show. People will marvel as you go through items like the photobook and original owners manual. This is the classic for someone who likes to attract all the right kind of attention. Call today!! |
