This 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 Club Victoria is upgraded with a few mild customizations that make this 58 Ford a fantastic 50s cruiser. 1958 was a down year across the American automotive industry, due in part to an economic recession and the publics apprehension to buy new cars at a time of such uncertainty. When the 1958 Ford models debuted to the public on November 7, 1957, the big story was the introduction of the new 4-seater Thunderbird but the passenger cars underwent a substantial redesign as well. With new Safety-Twin dual headlights, a new faux Thunderbird-esque hood scoop, a new honeycomb grille design, anodized gold beltline side trim, and a new-look taillight setup, the 58 Fords had a look unlike anything available from FoMoCo in the previous model years. The Fairlane 500 was the top-of-the-line passenger car model for Ford in 1958 and sat atop a 118 inch wheelbase. Unlike the Hide-Away Hardtop Retractable, the roof line on the 2-Door hardtop Victoria featured a smooth swept-back line whereas the Retractable was more squared off. This particular 1958 Fairlane 500 comes to us from a collector who took exceptionally good care of the car while under their ownership and previously it spent nearly 20 years in Arkansas. A later model 390 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a Holley single 4 barrel carburetor provides plenty of power to this 58 Ford. The NOM 390 V8 is backed by a C6 automatic transmission that makes it easy for anybody to take the 1958 Fairlane 500 for a spin around the block. Exhaust exits the updated 390 V8 via a dual exhaust setup that give this Ford Club Victoria a great throaty sound. This 1958 Ford Fairlane 500 sports several fantastic options! With the addition of power brakes, along with an upgraded dual master brake cylinder, this 1958 Ford comes to a stop much more easily and also with much more reliability. Power steering is also a welcome addition since it makes maneuvering this 58 Ford in and out of tight spaces at the local ice cream shop or car show a total breeze. Riding on a brand new set of 205/70R15 Hankook Radial Tires wrapped around American Racing chrome rims, this 58 Fairlane 500 has a great look and even better ride. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this 1958 Ford is in very nice shape and present quite well. The Indian Turquoise body and Colonial White hardtop complete the exterior two-tone look on this classic 50s Ford cruiser. The mild custom interior on this Ford is marvelous! The front and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in a two-tone Turquoise and White vinyl that matches the exterior look of the car, and the rear bench seat is accented by custom white embroidery reading Fairlane 500. The turquoise painted dash, door panels, and steering wheel are all in wonderful shape as well and retain a nice stock appearance.
