What a beautiful automobile...and remember, this was in the low-priced three! I know what he means about the seat covers with the bumps...I can't remember who.but someone in a car I used to ride in, had the seat covers with the bumps!!! I haven't thought about that in years!

Hi, Lou! Boy, can Dennis pick 'em or what! My hat is off to him! He just seems to have such an amazing knack for finding those extra special classics to add to his already fascinating collection! If you'll pardon the pun, this has to be one of the best cars in the Galaxie (even though it's not a Galaxie)! It's just got everything...even luggage! This was the last of the three years for the retractable. The car itself wasn't entirely practical since you couldn't carry much in the trunk, and the next year's redesign wouldn't have lent itself well to the idea, because its trunk lid was too narrow. But be that as it may, it is fun to watch how the whole mechanism works. If Dennis comes up with any more acquisitions you can be sure it will be newsworthy for a future "My Car Story". Thanks again to you and him for taking us along for the ride!

I owned a 1957 Ford Skyliner when I was in High School 1970- 1973, keeping it for about 15 years and selling it to a man in Berkeley, CA around 1985. It had a custom installed Ford 390 with a 4 Speed on the floor, American 5 Spoke Mag Wheels, Black Sidewall Exhaust under the Doors, painted White. It originally had a 292CI with a 3 Speed on the Column. I hand washed and waxed it so many times. Lots of large flat body panels. I rarely lowered the Top because I was afraid it would get stuck in the down position and I didn't have a Garage. Now I'm 65 but the memories still remain. I thought the 1957 was the best looking of the 3 year design. The 58 and 59 kept adding more exterior trim, 4 headlights and they looked overdone.

My older brother had the red 1957 Ford Fairlane convertible, and I was about 13-15 yrs old (1966-1968) in Vancouver, and still remember that whole top being SWALLOWED by the trunk! Maybe that experience influenced me, bc I owned 3-4 different classic rag-tops over the years!

What a beauty and this owner is auto blessed! When the Skyliners debuted in 1957, Ford engineers claimed the electrical relays and motors in the trunk which operated the top, we’re the most sophisticated in the world up to that time. Cost and lack of trunk space doomed the Skyliners after three years.

Lou, as always a great feature. Of course all things being subjective - I feel Ford has offered up some of the downright homeliest AND most beautiful cars ever. This land yacht is the former (imho).... Ford just couldn't get out of Edsel mode and this is a prime example. My dad had a '60 Sunliner and ohhhhh...what a difference a year makes.

My pleasure sharing this one with you :-) You're welcome.

Very beautiful! One of my clients has one! That used to belong to his father. His is red and white and was featured years ago in a magazine. He still has a copy of that magazine still. Its an older restoration, and can use a nice refreshing. But it's such a pretty car with that cool retractable roof. Unfortunately he wants to sell it! This is an excellent example, in your video.

Hi Jim, Happy to read you "love the color!" :-) Very kind of you to spare some time to chauffer Dennis around in this one, Lou

The rubber bumperettes were available until the 1965 models. My uncle's 1964 Galaxie 500 hardtop (390/4speed) had them.

What a beauty! I like the way you give a presentation that gives everyone a chance to view the cars close up and personal. Such rare classics. Thanks Lou! Do you ever come to Atlanta Georgis for any of the car shows down here?

Hi Wiiam, I have not been to Atlanta yet. Usually is there is a Car Show Promotor they would Sponsor me (Hotel, Air Fare, Car Rental if needed), or I'd be there possibly in my travels, however I do not have a scheduled trip there. Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Appreciate the kind words on the presentation, and glad to read what you enjoy seeing. You're welcome, Lou

Wow. I didn’t realize that Ford offered a Fairlane 500 version of the Skyliner retractable hardtop. I thought they were all Fairlane 600 Galaxies!
