Ford Fairlane Skyliner (1957)

The 1957 Ford Skyliner Retractable Hardtop is an iconic American classic, showcasing Ford's bold innovation and unmistakable ‘50s style. As the first year for the retractable hardtop, it immediately became a sensation and a symbol of cutting-edge automotive engineering. The car’s combination of Colonial White and Starmist Blue paint is not only visually striking but reflects the vibrancy and optimism of the era. Powered by the legendary D-code 312 cubic inch "Thunderbird Special" V8, the Skyliner delivers a smooth 245 horsepower. This engine, finished in Ford Red enamel with chrome valve covers and air cleaner, runs strong and provides that classic V8 rumble. Modern upgrades like the aluminum radiator with an auxiliary fan ensure that the Skyliner stays cool, whether you’re cruising around town or taking it on longer journeys. Paired with the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission and 3.56 rear gears, the Skyliner accelerates smoothly and feels quick and responsive.
