Ford Fairlane 312 V8 1957
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars is pleased to offer this stunning 1957 Ford Fairlane for sale in our Indianapolis showroom. Power is by a 312 cubic inch V8 driving through an automatic transmission. With a new interior less than 500 miles ago to complement the dazzling candy red over silver/white pearl paint, this car just pops. Purchased by the current owner from a gentleman in Utah 6 years ago, this car has no rust at all. No bodywork was done before the paint, and the long, low lines of the car look exceptionally smooth, set off perfectly by the 17 inch Vision Legend Series 5 spoke chrome wheels. And speaking of chrome, it is in exceptional condition. The 1957 models were unmistakable with their long flanks and tailfins, and the new frame used for the 1957 Fords moved to perimeter rails out, so that they would fully envelope the passengers. The result was a low, wide stance that made this model very successful, overtaking arch rival Chevrolet for the first time since 1935 as the best selling car in America. To view this 1957 Ford Fairlane, please visit our site at http://www.gatewayclassiccars.com, call 317-688-1100 or email us at indy@gatewayclassiccars.com.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
