Selling at Barrett Jackson Oct 11 Lot # 497 No
Reserve. 1957 Ford Skyliner (Classic Rides and Rods)
This is top-down style in one of the most innovative convertibles ever to come out of
Detroit. It’s a true pleasure and a crowd pleaser to see the folding hardtop in action. Sleek,
wide and low, this is 50’s cruising at its finest. Power and powerful fun is what you get to
experience as you dominate the road and return all those thumbs ups along the way.
Featuring a folding front section, the entire hardtop fits perfectly into the trunk area.
HISTORY:
This is a top tier investment grade classic that has received a frame-off restoration. Ford’s
Fairlane 500 Skyliner was the first mass produced car to feature the “Hide-Away Hardtop”
It’s one of the most famous hardtop convertibles of all time and is an icon of the ‘50’s for
model years 1957-1959. Jordan is happy to answer any questions you may have at (612)

OVERVIEW:
The Skyliner’s retractable top operated via a mechanism that folded the front of the roof
and retracted it under the rear decklid. Instead of the typical hydraulic system, the top
used seven electric motors (six for 1959 models) and worked reliably. As a frame-off
restoration this beautiful example operates like new. Production totaled 20,766 units in
1957. This is truly a must-have to round out anyone’s collection of 1950’s Americana.
