Electric wiper motor is easy to locate for '57-'59 Fords. '55-'57 Chevy used the same electric wiper motor. They were made by Trico as a dealer installed option.
Have a 59 ranchero had 57 ford conv bought with a cb350honda motorcycle for 350$ in the 80s still have a66tbird conv. Dont think valves oiling from the sound
did it ever occur to you that there are guys out there who want to use a 57 Ford Wagon to haul family members? or to haul cargo? do you think having to lean forward to allow others to get into the back (middle) seat is as you put it cool?
@@Fords-eh6sf Yes, way cooler, in my opinion! I have always preferred 2 doors over 4 doors. I have owned three 57 fords in my life, two sedans and a ranch wagon with a thunderbird 312 V8. The ranch wagon was by far the coolest, again just my opinion. Unfortunately my x wife got it when we divorced, still hate that bi$&!. But to each his owns sir
BTW rickey do you even know what model you are referring to? I think you meant Skyliner - and please tell me what world are you living in because if you were living in any world where vintage cars are rebuilt/restored you would have an idea of what it cost to do the work thats been done....so try not to be an authority to others when you are not living in my world (reality
@@Fords-eh6sf The sky liner was nice car in convertible,most desirable That’s the world I live in I would buy any GM products Over Ford especially in1950-79
My parents bought a new 2 door Ranch Wagon in 1957. Between the rust and the rattles he said it was the worse car he ever had. It was traded for a new 2 door Chevy wagon in 1960.
Sir I hate to tell you but the $42,500 for a 57 Ford wagon 6 cylinder 3 speed you better quit dreaming cuz nobody's going to pay that for that 57 buddy I just sold my 29 Coop and I'm 75 years old and only got ten grand for it and it was a brand-new Flathead in it and it was a three-speed nobody in their right minds going to tell you that good luck
Have you ever heard of make offer? I know you offering your personal opinion, not sure why you did as you were never interested in buying the vehicle but you must suffer from “no one thinks much of my opinion “ and felt u had to make ur opinion be known.
WOW, ] hope he finds a "serious offer". Looking at maybe 16g from NADA have to take off for rust, paint. Lose value for 6cyl and 3 speed. What ever is wrong with the engine will need fixed also. Hagerty does not "give" him as much. Neat car but 4 door wagons with a 6 and three speed are just not that sought after. Best of luck to him, hope he finds the right buyer.
s@@buxxbannerspov30 so i guess your reality is putting in 22k of cash into a project, 5 years of work and you hope I find reality? the reality is that folks like you want to pay 15k so that you can finish the restoration within your budget, I guess
my reality is the yes, if i put 22k into a restoration and then five years of my labor that yes, it should be worth at least that much, but if you are the type that thinks you're intitled to down play some one else project so that you look like an expert, you're fooling noone. Now if you are an expert on reality, check out Hemmings cars for sale and enter 1957 Ford Country Sedan. If you read the descriptions of each section on the car, view the photographs you may being to appreciate the efforts of others and maybe then you can offer something other than negativity to those who may be contemplating a restoration project started with a junkyard example.
Just finished a 66 Mustang convertible. Have about 60k and 3 1/2 years into it. Love the car as it is built. No way I would be lucky enough to get what I have in it from purchase to back on the road.

People have an over inflated value for some of their classic cars ...as time moves on the cars from the 50's are dropping in value, as those from the 30s and 40s already have ...
Say what…???? “ $42.500 “ Holy Crap..!!! It could be because I’m 69 years old , and I’m just used to seeing old sleds like this my whole life ! But let’s face it it’s not a two door 57 nomad …😍 It’s a 4 Door, Ford station wagon…! No disrespect intended..🙏🏻 I just don’t see the attraction in it…! ! ! Especially at $42,500 ….😹🙄😹
Adjust the lifters they never rattled like that! Not even stone cold. He likes that thing more than anyone else. He'll be married to the thing. Congrats
yup, Randalldrake is right. I have never heard a Ford 6 cyl that noisy. it reminds me of my hopped up 289 with solid lifters that I drove back in the sixties.
Good grief! That "rebuilt" motor sounds like a wornout sewing machine! Out of time to boot. Owned a number of 223’s. They were quiet smooth runners. Good eng's
I thought you said that you Swapped a diesel engine , I drove all those 57 Ford in my youth. Also when I was 14 years old I worked in a junkyard . We have cars from the 40th 50th and 60th. I can find that 57 wagon for less than 3 thousand right now running great. I watch TH-cam for years and one of my pastime is watching junkyard auctions and liquidation. Good luck with your 57 Ford wagon. Prize money is too high. The most you can get is $5,000.💣
Have any advice where to restore my 57 fairlane body and interior In good shape engine needs some minor repairs and cleaning runs well I’m in the chicago area need a fuel pump model #4710 Kh I appreciate your comments and your help.
Over priced a bit. Hagerty value 1957 Country Squire 292 V8 excellent condition $31,400, good condition 21,100, fair 14,600. Given rust and 6 cyl.10k maybe.
When I was 5 years old , my Dad did advertisement for the Quincy Patriot Ledger. He had me and my 2 sisters in the back with back seat down and the family dog. We set up plastic bowling pins. And the play was so much room in back you can use it for a bowling. The dealership the add was for. Was Jannell Ford on route 18, So. Weymouth Mass. We actually bought one. Was that sorta pink creamy and white 2 tone. Those were the days. I just looked up Jannell. They started in 1921, and are no longer in So. Weymouth , but moved to Hanover MA.
Best not to refer to it as rust free, something I really know about with 57 Fords. Also expect that engine/trans will be changed because its really really boring power in that heavy a car. I see more popular model 57s in that condition being purchased 5-8K around PNW. If it was an F or E model might get near that price.
I do not have to expect anything that might be done to it .....do you consider yourself a 57 for expert? join my fb group and let your experience be known....or find this car for sale on Hemmings where you can see and read in detail, all the work that has been done. And BTW, when you're ready to make an offer, make it.
I think that the '57 Ford is one of the best looking cars ever made. The Ranchero and Del Rio (2 door wagon) are especially nice, and how can you beat a '57 Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop for looks?
As an old car collector myself, I would never knock your car because I wouldn’t appreciate that myself. I can see that you are very proud of that 57 wagon, as you should be. It is a nice collectible car but with its current body condition, it will take a lot of work and money to get it in a show condition therefore it is between 3 and 4 condition. In reality, if you look at the Old Car Value Price Guide, they are not talking near that much money for that condition. If you are actually serious about selling it, you need to educate yourself about the current value I have owned many old collector cars that were the apple of my eye but when I went to sell it, I found out, to prospective buyers , it was just another old car. Thank you for saving that 57 wagon from the crusher ! Good luck !
smokey, thanks for the 'make sense' comments you make....keep this in mind, to find a 57 Ford in the great original condition it is rare.. most of these cars that have not been restore, will need REAL work (replacing rocker panels, lower quarters, headlight areas etc....trust me, i know my 57 fords. Check out the listing in Hemmings - you can read and see a good amount of the labor/parts put into this.
All the commenters about the engine noise have never owned one or heard one in person. One the camera makes it sound louder than it is. Two. the 223 is a solid lifter engine with valve clearances no different than a 235 Chevy of that era. They tick. They're supposed too. An occasional routine valve adjustment is normal maintenance for these engines and may be in order post break in on a rebuild. Bet if it was a 70 Boss 302 Mustang or Z28 idling in a video you wouldn't hear anyone flapping about the lifters.
You're DELUSIONAL to get even $20k. Also, if you call that a professional engine rebuild you know nothing about engines. You can hear the lifters out of adjustment!
The very first car I can remember as a child was my parents 57 Ford Fairlane 500 four door hardtop. It was powder blue and even as a little boy I thought that it was something. BTW, I've been a car nut my entire life. That engine was completely rebuilt and it sounds like that?
They are a beautiful body love them myself thank you
