Details

This 1958 Ford Fairline 500 convertible is powered by a 352ci V8 engine with 300hp, paired with a Ford-O-Matic transmission. Exhaust exits the 4-barrel 352 via a 2.5-inch dual exhaust. The car underwent a prior frame-on restoration and is finished in its factory-correct Gulfstream Blue. The gold beltline anodized trim was also enlarged from the previous year's models and increased the distinction of the 1958 Ford models. At the rear, the taillights were revamped moving away from the single circle design to a matching dual oval design that straddled a rectangular backup light, all of which was surrounded in chrome trim. The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in a two-tone color scheme made up of Colonial White vinyl with Blue Gulfstream Royal Scot Tweed inserts. The Gulfstream Blue-painted dash, two-tone upholstered door panels, steering wheel, color-keyed tonneau cover and blue carpeting are all in great shape and in their stock configuration. The dash is equipped with a 120-mph speedometer, temperature gauge and fuel gauge, along with a functional AM radio and clock. This car is riding on a set of blue steel turbine-style wheels, original hubcaps and wide whitewall radial tires.
