Description:
Fairlane 500 Skyliner Convertible - worlds first retractable hardtop-convertible. Finished in the original Coral Sand over Colonial White this is a car that commands attention wherever it goes. The engine is the original 292c.i. V-8 mated to a Ford-O-Matic transmission that drives a 3.10:1 rear end. This is a very fine driving car that will cruise the interstate at 70 mph plus and not work hard at all. The hardtop retractable system works excellent and is a wonder of fifties automotive engineering. The interior is in great shape. These are cars that are rarely seen anymore except at car shows and high profile auctions.
