1958 Ford Fairlane Hardtop Convertible in terrific condition.

I am listing this car for a childhood friend. Having sold a few cars from my collection here on eBay (and elsewhere), had to read-up on this Fairlane. I must say it's a neat car and a head turner. Here in Los Angeles with an abundance ofMaseratis, erraris, orsches and Bentleys on thestreets, ust while parked and being photographed this car garnered plenty of attention.

Here is a classic 1958 Ford Skyliner Hard Top Convertible available for sale. This pink & white Fairlane is in terrific condition and ready to enjoy. Turn on the ignition, rop the power top and off you go! Car was fully restored approximately 12 years ago (per previous owner) and has been used sparingly the last six years (and driven less than 300 miles during that time).

It is believed to be a three owner car. Original owner was a mechanic. Car was purchased about six years ago as a Sunday driver but current owner never really got around to driving this car. Professional and family obligations took up most free time he would otherwise have had to enjoy the car.

Car has been properly maintained. Seats, oor panels, eadliner all in terrific shape. Seat belts installed for five passengers. The car starts, uns and drives nicely and the factory hardtop works great*. Within the past few weeks, ar has received a tune-up, luids flushed, oses replaced, il changed - the engine is mechanically sound. As seen in the photos, oth exterior and interior show very well.

*Upon inspection (and to the best of my knowledge), he chrome bumpers has some pitting and minor rust (nothing serious that would deter me if I was a buyer). While the body/paint is in very, ery good condition, here are some minor rust spots - examples documented in the photos (again, f I was a buyer I wouldn't be deterred). If you were to stand five feet from the car, hese imperfections wouldn't be noticeable.

Car is an automatic with power windows, ower steering and power assist brakes. Heating and radio works (no a/c). Wipers do not fully operate (they will sweep the window one way but not come down). The clock, ap and headliner lights do not work. While the top goes up and down, t can be temperamental at the start. At times patience is needed before the power top begins its' operation (if you would like to see a high-definition video of the Fairlane, lease contact me for the link. eBay does not allow a link to be placed with this listing).

There are 1957 hubcaps on this 1958 model. Odometer works and shows approximately 79,500 miles. I would rate this Skyliner a strong 8 out of 10 (let the pictures tell you what great condition this car is in). Car is available for inspection and test drive.

To summarize, hile there are some items that need discretionary attention, his American classic Fairlane 500 Convertible is a great car for leisurely drives - a terrific boulevard cruiser to be enjoyed with the wife (or hubby), ids or grandchildren that can also be used as a daily driver.

Deposit of $500 via Paypal due within 48 hours of end of auction. Balance due via cashier's check or bank transfer within 7 days. Vehicle being sold as is with no expressed warranty. Shipping from Los Angeles at buyer's expense (will assist with logistics).

Reserve price is attractively set.

Any questions?? Please do not hesitate to ask.

Good luck!
