Ford came out with the Fairlane name as a replacement for Crestline as Ford's premier full-size offering in 1955. Competing with the contemporary Chevrolet Bel Air, the Fairlane still became successful and considered quite desirable. In 1957, Ford accomplished a complete restyling of all its models. The relatively new Fairlane series, named after the ancestral home of the Ford family, was five-inches lower, had a slightly longer wheelbase, and measured nine-inches longer overall than its cousins from the 1956 model year. The ’57 Fords also sported elements of the latest styling trend; tailfins, which were marketed as “high-canted fenders.” The vehicle represented here has had a cosmetic restoration completed 15 years ago and the owner reports that it has been rarely driven since.
