Overview of 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner For Sale by Owner

The Ford Fairlane is a legendary name in the Blue Oval’s history, and fittingly, it takes its name from Henry Ford’s famed estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Introduced in 1955, the Fairlane spawned a variety of trims and offshoots—including the Crown Victoria and the 500—that helped define the mid-century American driving experience. While the Fairlane name was also used in overseas models, nothing beats the charm of an original American-built Sunliner like this one. Presented here is a beautifully restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, located in Holtsville, New York, with just over 7,000 miles since its restoration. Among its standout features are a Continental Kit, Searchlight Mirrors, and a glove box signed by Gale Halderman—the man who not only worked on redesigning the ’57 Fairlane but also went on to pen the first-generation Mustang. According to the seller, full restoration documentation and photos are available upon request.

Exterior and Interior

The two-tone Coral Sand and Colonial White paint scheme is quintessentially Fifties, capturing the optimistic, pastel-hued spirit of the era. Complementing its retro colorway are rear fender skirts, dual Searchlight Mirrors, and a Continental Kit that moves the spare tire outside the trunk—freeing up cargo space while enhancing vintage flair. A custom car cover is also included to help preserve the vehicle’s beauty when parked. Inside, the Sunliner offers a clean and classic cabin in black and white vinyl, with black carpeting completing the theme. The dashboard features Ford’s original Town & Country radio for authenticity, while a Bluetooth-capable modern audio system has been added to ensure compatibility with today’s media. Power windows round out the list of period-correct luxury features.

Engine

Under the hood lies Ford’s trusted 312ci Y-Block V8, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Power is sent to the rear wheels, as expected, and the car delivers a relaxed, confident driving experience that perfectly suits its era and style.
