Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to offer for sale this 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner. This incredible car features what I believe was a first for the US car market, a retractable hardtop convertible. This car looks great with the top up or down. The color combination could not be better in a light blue and classic white with two tone blue interior. This classic convertible is at home under the neon lights of South beach, the narrow roads of San Francisco, cruising the back roads of Virginia or the streets of your hometown! Under the tilt forward hood is the 352 Cubic inch Ford small block that is known to have plenty of torque and power. The owner states that the gears changes are handled by the C6 3 speed automatic transmission for easy cruising. The bench seat is great for sitting close and holding hands with that special someone, while everyone you drive past has to stop and stare. This is not a âget lost in the shuffle" car, it demands attention! Now if you really want to form a crowd, just activate the top, everyone will have to watch as this car transforms for a drop top to a hardtop in no time at all. I can't imagine the engineers at Ford when they were told to make this a hardtop convertible in 1957. How do you make a top disappear into the trunk? I think they use magic pixie dust but that's just my opinion. Now this 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner has a rebuilt engine and transmission and a fresh paint job, like a lady all dressed up and ready for a night on the town. You and your lady will both be happy with the Air conditioning system installed in this car to help keep you cool with the top down on those warm summer evenings. The options for this 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner include: Air conditioning, AM radio, American racing 5 star rims and the star of the show, a retractable hard top.

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
