1957 Ford Fairlane 500 2-Door Hardtop at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

Although Ford outsold Chevrolet in 1957, fewer collectible Fords are seen these days. This '57 Fairlane 500 Hardtop is a prime example of a survivor. With Texas history, this classic is rock solid and rust-free with mostly original paint and interior. Comfortable cloth and vinyl bench seating is roomy enough for 6 passengers. With the ever reliable 312 Ford V-8 and the Ford-o-matic tranny this Fairlane has many cruising years to go. Radial whitewall tires enhance the smooth ride. Nice options were added to this 50's classic; power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning. A newer compressor ensures cool air at your fingertips! Matching fender skirts, dual outside chrome mirrors, trunk mounted antenna and dual exhaust sets the finishing touches. The Hardtops of the 50's are always a welcome site at the local car show and this 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 has great history and originality. Come and take a look at Ellingson's great selection of 50's classics and join the memory parade.

Nice example of an original '57 . Interior looks different from the original factory seat covers. Perhaps a cloth look from the 300 series. Can any one check this out?

[@Gershwin48]

I recall the quality control on these new was terrible. Restoring one has to be a huge challenge because factory fit wouldn’t win any trophy.

[@stephenspilker9334]

funny i still have a set of original hub caps for this car lol. looking for a 57 sunliner.

[@eutimiochavez415]

I wish you could order new cars with what u wanted in a car now days

Had A 57 Fairlane,W/ Out the Fairliner Side Stripe.That Looks Like STD.V- 8 Eng.for 57,292. 312 Eng. Was the Optimal Eng.,Had the Thunderbird Valve Covers& Every 312 I Saw,Had Alum.Intake.Have An Old School Ford Mech.Look @ It,To Be Sure.& Believe Main Reason 57 Ford's Outsold the 57 Chevys Was Eng.Size,Back then,All Young Guys Were Looking for H.p.,Not So Much Looks.Biggest Chevy Eng.Avail. in 57 Was the 283& STD.V-8 Eng.for Chevy in 57,Was the 265,283:,Was Optimal Eng.Nice Example W/ Rare Color Combo

[@craigjorgensen4637]

A 283 with Power Pack option would leave a 312 in the dust! 265 engines were not the standard V8 but were available with a 2bbl in early models.all had 3 speed manual transmissions.Very few were sold. Ford beat Chevy that year because they sold so many Station Wagons. Chevy just didn’t sell many wagons compared to Ford.

in 1957 Ford's Kicked Chevys Butt on the race track

[@craigjorgensen4637]

Interior isn’t original Air Conditioning is aftermarket. Not from the factory. I would yank those fender skirts for a cleaner more original look.

[@RS-yu4lb]

It does have factory air up under windshield. That's not a defroster. However, why two units ?

[@emelen123jamesula2]

Too much talk, not enuff car.
