Named after Henry Ford’s sprawling estate in Dearborn, Michigan, the Fairlane nameplate would be used on many of Ford’s mid-size and full-size offerings, not just in the United States, but South America and Australia too. What we’ve got on sale here is a second-generation Fairlane in two-door form, this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe has reportedly received some new items to keep it fresh and pristine.
Exterior and Interior
The 1957 Ford line-up to which this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe belongs was offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two and four door hardtops, convertibles, retractable hardtops, and station wagons. This 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe is actually of the two-door sedan variant, and sports a lovely off-white paintjob. Rolling on new retro-style mag wheels with reportedly new tires, it’s got a refreshing outlook to the typical wire wheels and whitewall tires combo that came with these cars. All lights, badging, and finer detailing appears up to scratch too. Granted there are a few areas that could use some attention such as some cosmetic areas on the lower body and undercarriage, plus the exhaust tips, but those are minor rectification jobs. The black interior features front and rear bench seats that would have seen three adults up front and four more in the rear during its heyday, but in the current era, it’s safer to stick to two per bench. Sporting a reportedly painted dashboard, new door panels and a reupholstered interior, we also observe white-faced Auto Meter gauges for speed and engine revs, dished and wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a Hurst gear shifter. It’s also said that the car sports a new, modern radio system. The trunk holds the full-sized spare wheel and could use a new carpet.
Engine
This 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe has seen a new 428ci Ford Cobra Le Mans V8 installed beneath its long hood, which is larger than the top 352ci offering on the 1957 Ford line-up as stock. Part of the Ford FE engine family, the 428 should put out around 350hp and 460lb-ft, give or take a few here and there. Drive is sent rearwards via an automatic transmission.
