Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is pleased to present a 1957 Ford Custom 300 for sale! In the heyday of the late 1950s, Ford completely restyled its lineup to compete with the offerings from GM. The new cars had more sculpted bodies, were much lower overall, and the signature tail fins of the era made their first appearance. During this period, the Custom and Custom 300 lines were Ford's entry-level models. Luxury features were limited to driver's side armrest and sunshade on the Custom, and two visors and armrests on the Custom 300.
Ford Customs of this era were available as two- or four-door sedans, or as a two-door business coupe with a parcel shelf in place of the back seat. The business coupe was not offered in the higher trim level Custom 300. The Engine choice in this Custom line is Ford's 272-cid V-8 engine at 190 hp. Also optioned was the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
