Vehicle Detail
1957 FORD FAIRLANE CLUB VICTORIA If you're in the market for a pristine garage queen, this is not the car for you, but if you are looking for a sharp looking, nice driving affordable classic, here it is! This 1957 Fairlane 500 was built in the Dallas, Texas plant on July 24, 1957. It is equipped with a 292 cu engine, producing 206 hp and a 3 speed manual transmission. Options include a 3.56 to 1 axle ratio. It was originally Colonial White with a White vinyl and Red Silver Shadow fabric interior. This Ford starts up with no hesitation, runs very smoothly and shifts nearly effortlessly. It is a great car on the highway. Having moved it out of storage after this winter, there were no noticeable leaks. We purchased this car with the intention of restoring the interior, as the previous owner completed the exterior paint and chrome. Panel fit is good, with consistent gaps. As you can see in the photos, those good intentions never materialized. Both the chrome bumpers look great; they are straight and clean with no noticeable dents or dings. Lights and lenses are all in excellent condition.There is a crack in the driver's door glass, and the interior needs to be properly finished. There are no interior door panels present. They were not with the car when we purchased it. The car also needs a headliner and seats recovered. The front bench is present, but the seat feels hard like a sheet of plywood covered up with padding. The reason for this is because it IS a sheet of plywood covered up with padding! The exhaust is newer as well as the fuel tank. Successful high bidder to pay $1000.00 deposit within 48 hours of the completion of the auction.
