INTRODUCTION: Frame up restored by Jerry Miller of Jerry\'s Classics, the country\'s leading expert in 57 to 59 Ford Fairlane restoration and parts. This one\'s loaded up with options from factory air conditioning and power windows to dual spotlights a continental kit and much more! Only 2,780 miles since restoration. We purchased it from the family that had it restored by Jerry, they\'ve owned it the last 25 years. They have enjoyed showing it and winning multiple awards including scoring 945/1000 at a Fairlane Nationals event.
EXTERIOR: Boy is she decked out and looking good! The body was restored 25 years ago and because it was such a quality job it looks like it was just done a week ago. The body panels are long and straight, I don\'t see any rust or damage. Everything fits properly, doors shut nicely. The retractable hardtop functions flawlessly, it is entertaining for onlookers. Repainted flame red and colonial white with a very smooth and glossy finish. It has optional fender skirts and is dressed up with the optional bumper guards, dual spotlights with mirrors, rocker moldings with stone shields and even a continental kit hanging off the back. All of the chrome and trim was replaced or restored. The windshield and weatherstrips were also replaced. It\'s rolling on reproduction BFG Silvertown white wall tires on painted rims with mint hubcaps.
INTERIOR: It was taken down to a bare shell inside, then restored back to factory new! The wiring was replaced, gauges were rebuilt, even the clock has quartz movement. It even has optional power windows and seat. It has fresh red carpet on the floor, reproduction door panels were installed and the seats were reupholstered. Then the seats were given plastic seat covers, I think that is so vintage cool! In front of you is an optional padded dash and rare factory air conditioning controls and vents. All the trim and steering wheel is painted gloss red, the glovebox door blistered but inside is an owner\'s manual. There is a hidden stereo and CD changer operated by remote.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has some nice features under the hood including factory air conditioning, power steering and an upgraded power brake system with dual reservoir master cylinder. At the heart of it is the 312 Thunderbird Special motor that makes 245 horsepower. Correct manifolds, valve covers, air cleaner, 4 barrel carb etc. All the components were restored and are proper. The metal surfaces are painted real nice and it\'s detailed right down to the decals.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: This is where the retractable top disappears into. The system is working properly, the motors, rams and switches were restored. Inside was all prepped and painted white and lined with the correct plaid liner. It has a restored jack assembly. The metal tub is where you safely store your cargo so it does not interfere with the top.
UNDERSIDE: The suspension and steering was rebuilt, the chassis components and frame were prepped and painted semi gloss black. It has a correct dual exhaust system, the fuel system was replaced including the tank and the brakes were rebuilt. Looking up at the motor it is very clean and so is the Ford-O-Matic transmission. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to the rear end with 3.56 gears. The floors are clean original, they were prepped and also painted semi gloss black.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.
CONCLUSION: This is a great value! Today it would co
