Only 1,100 Miles on Complete Nut & Bolt Restoration The current owner of this 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Convertible purchased it new in Sacramento, California fifty-seven years ago and he tells us that he has a lifetime of memories in this gorgeous vehicle. He had it completely restored to incredibly high standards in May of 2013, and it appears that it has remained indoors except for the 1,100 miles it’s been driven since that time. Mechanically, this one runs flawlessly as well without a single squeak to be heard at highway speeds. It is very hard to tell that this is not a brand new, 57 year old Ford.

From what we can tell by the documentation, it underwent a multi-year nut and bolt restoration to return this one 100% back to factory specifications and the vast majority of the parts are the actual refurbished originals instead of OEM replacements. The quality on this desirable classic is truly second to none and it will be almost a certain award winner for the next lucky owner.

Seriously, you can spend all day looking for trivial flaws on this beauty and possibly not find one; that’s the caliber of this amazing classic and the ridiculous amount of man-hours that went into restoring it. It has to be seen in person to truly appreciate, so call us today before it’s gone for good.

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.
