The all-new 1957 Ford models featured 'Equaflair' styling by George W. Walker. They were longer and lower than ever before and incorporated a full-width rectangular grille, dramatic bright accents, and a pair of tailfins or 'high-canted' rear fenders.
The Fairlane series was the top-of-the-line Fairlane 500 range and was given extensive chrome, additional C-pillar brightwork, and distinctive double-runner chrome strip with a textured anodized gold insert on the body sides. They were finished in two-tone paint and 37 different interior combinations. They were also the first mass-produced vehicle with a retractable hardtop (found on the Fairlane 500 Skyliner). With a push of the button, the Skyliner's hardtop literally unscrewed itself from the windshield frame and then folded under a long, flat trunk lid that lifted on its own to make way for the top. The car could go from a coupe to a convertible in a mere 25 seconds. The retractable hardtop would be part of Ford's lineup for just three years, lasting from 1957 through 1959.
This example is powered by a 212 horsepower V8 mated to a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. There is a heater/defroster, a clock, a later Kenwood stereo, wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, and a rear-mounted 'Continental kit' spare. It is finished in two-tone Starmist Blue and Colonial White. It was built in Kansas City and spent most of its life in Georgia.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2013
