I'm advertising this beautiful '57 Ford for a friend of mine in Sacramento, California. This car spent the majority of its life in Texas and has had a host of recent work performed including the generator rebuilt & carburetor rebuilt.

The body panels are straight down both sides as is the hood, roof, and deck lid. This is a good looking old Ford for sure. It also runs and drives very good.The exterior displays a good driver quality finish. With a professional color polish and wax, this car could be taken to the next level. The brightwork shows well. The bumpers are in good condition front to back. Note how straight the body trim / molding lines up along with the doors, hood and trunk. The gold inlay is in beautiful condition as is the molding. Chromed reverse wheels are fitted with whitewall radial tires.

Open the doors to 1957. The door panels are in good shape and all of the trim is still in place.

The dash displays original instruments along with the working original radio. The temperature gauge and the fuel gauge are working. A Sun pro tachometer is mounted under the dash and is functional as well. Be sure to play our video.

The seat upholstery is done in white vinyl with black cloth inserts front to back. The headliner is in good condition. The dome light is working.The door undersides & door jambs are solid original metal. The rocker panels are also original.

Under the hood is the factory-optioned 292 Y-Block V8 engine. This is a good running motor and the 3-speed transmission shifts through the gears as it should. This previously rebuilt V8 doesn't smoke and wears the correct breather assembly and valve covers. The clutch and brakes feel good. This is also a good steering old car. I enjoyed driving it. Again, play that video folks. I also want to mention that since the video, the generator was rebuilt and the carburetor was rebuilt.

The heater works great. The firewall, inner fender and core support steel is original and in excellent condition. This is a dry climate Ford and it shows. The engine compartment would really benefit from a simple detail job, some engine paint work and cleaning. This is a driver's car.

The undercarriage is really exceptional. The original flooring and floor braces are intact front to back. There are only a few minor pan rust areas I took close up photos of, see below. There is some rust through in the spare tire well, however the trunk pan is otherwise solid. This car is dry climate solid throughout. The rockers are also in excellent condition as are the inner quarter panels, inner fenders, door undersides, rocker panels, and floor braces. This car really drives out good, a heavy duty front sway bar with polyurethane bushings has been installed.

The shock mounts are intact and original.

Check out the excellent inner quarter panels.

A front sway bar was installed with polyurethane bushings.

Fender skirts are included. The paint on these skirts is scratched up from sitting in storage, they really need to be repainted. The jack & spare tire/wheel is in place.

Enjoy my remaining photos and again feel free to contact myself, Sam, at 972-748-6389 or email me with any questions. This car is stored indoors in Sacramento, California and available to be inspected by appointment. Again, email or telephone me with any questions.
