For more information on this vehicle visit tinyurl.com/qxwt39f
The beneficiary of a recent, frame-off restoration, this top option Skyliner is just waiting for summer sun and a manicured show field. With its Thunderbird V8, Ford-O-Matic 3-speed, Master Guide Power Steering and Select Aire climate control, it has all the right options to be the quintessential 50s cruiser. And if you're looking to add a little spice to your weekend routine, it'll take Sunday drives to a whole new level!
Steal a glance at the car's glossy profile and you'll see what high quality craftsmanship truly looks like. A product of a professional, rotisserie restoration that was performed by a dedicated group of enthusiasts, its solid body was stripped to bare metal, thoroughly worked and painstakingly transformed into a collection of super straight panels. Once that intense labor resulted in good fit and finish, a smooth Flame Red and Colonial White basecoat was sealed in durable clear and buffed to a fantastic shine. And today, this Ford sits as one razor-sharp drop-top that's ready to turn heads for years to come.
Tilt the car's sculpted hood and you'll find a correct, 312 cubic inch Thunderbird V8 that's fully rebuilt and dressed to impress. Introduced in 1956 as a high-end Ford and Mercury staple, this stout Y-block remained one of Dearborn's hottest factory options until late 1961.
Behind that beefy mill, a stalwart Ford-O-Matic 3-speed sends power to a familiar Ford 9-inch that's fitted with pleasant, highway-friendly gears. The car's suspension remains close to its original configuration, with factory power steering complementing factory control arms and traditional leaf springs. Braking is quick and adequate thanks to fresh drums that occupy all for corners of that chassis. And on the outside of those drums, correctly painted wheels spin 8.00-14 Goodyear whitewalls around classy stainless hub caps
Two-tone paint is legendary for its characteristically 50s feel. And when paired with this convertible's airy interior, it creates the perfect culmination of style and sophistication. Thanks to the car's high quality restoration, its smooth bench seats will be livable for years to come. Front and center, a stylish, two-tone dash hangs restored Ford telemetry next to a correct Town & Country radio. And in front of the driver, a body-matched steering wheel spins a Flame Red rim around a chrome, Ford-branded horn ring.
If you're looking for a premium example of an infinitely collectible car, this super cool Fairlane is an excellent choice. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information!
