1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner Convertible – Exceptional, High Quality Car!

Here's your chance to own one of the finest 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliners we've come across in years. This beautifully restored convertible comes from a highly regarded private collection owned by a longtime family friend. Every vehicle we've sold from his lineup has set a high benchmark, this car is no exception. Restored 20 years ago by a Ford specialist using all NOS parts, it's been carefully maintained, lightly driven, and stored properly ever since. This is a true show-quality driver that delivers both beauty and performance.

Exterior Condition:
Beautifully finished in a stunning two tone flame red and colonial white paint with excellent panel fit and arrow-straight body lines. The chrome has been fully redone and shows to a very high standard. Stainless trim is polished, all emblems have been restored, and the original glass including the windshield, is in excellent condition. The body is completely rust-free, and the car retains a clean, correct look throughout.

Interior Condition:
Restored using correct materials and patterns. The seats, dash, door panels, and trim all present exceptionally well. The convertible top is clean and operates smoothly. It's clear this interior has been cared for and lightly used since restoration, maintaining its original look and feel.

Mechanical Condition:
Runs and drives great. The 312ci V8 delivers smooth, reliable power, and the automatic transmission shifts as it should. Power steering and brakes make for an easy, enjoyable ride. Mechanically strong overall. The AM radio, wipers, and clock are currently inoperable, likely from lack of use but are common, straightforward fixes.

Underside & Trunk:
Clean and solid underneath. The trunk is fully restored with correct mat and spare. The frame, floor pans, and structure are all in excellent condition. Dual exhaust looks and sounds correct with classic accessory tips. This car was done right and remains tight, clean, and dry underneath.

Closing Statement:
This 1957 Ford Fairlane Sunliner is a rare opportunity to own a professionally restored, investment-level classic convertible. You'd be hard-pressed to find another in this condition for the price, restoring one to this level would cost far more. It's a trophy-ready show car that drives just as well as it looks. No disappointments here.
