Immediate post-war and the American car industry saw demand for luxury and the better life see an all-time high. With competition an all-time high manufacturers like Ford stayed ahead of the market and ensured their cars got larger and more luxurious as the 50s went on. The car we have today is a fine example of Ford and the 50s and comes in the form of this lovely 1957 Ford Fairlane Sedan. With 31,000 miles reported on the clock, this is a clean survivor and cruising in the left lane done right.
American 50s design is one to never be replicated again. The long swooping body lines and tail fins on are an ode to automotive design but one that would never fit in with modern customer tastes, that's what makes this 1957 Ford Fairlane Sedan and its iconic design so special. The exterior of this car sports a lovely blue and white exterior that brings out those 50s features well. The exterior is in great shape and that's due to the current owner reporting a new paint job on the car. Aside from the iconic design features the Fairlane also sported a lot of chrome from the factory which this car sports proudly. This cars factory looks are complimented with a set of period-correct factory wheels which are reportedly wrapped with fresh tires. Matching the two-tone exterior is a two-tone interior that sports the familiar blue and white theme. This 1957 Ford Fairlane Sedan interior is in great shape and is even reported to be original by the current owner.
Being a full-size Ford in the 50s sure meant you had one large car rolling off the factory floors, This meant a fairly large powertrain was in need to even get going. This 1957 Ford Fairlane Sedan and its 292ci (4.8L V8) powertrain does this job quite well. Pop open the hood and you would notice originality and your eyes don't deceive you, as this car is reported to be a numbers matching vehicle. Driving off in this 50s beauty requires fewer trips to your mechanic as the current owner reports that the car sports new spark plugs and a recent oil change as well. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
Named after Henry Ford's sprawling Dearborn estate, the Fairlane started life as Ford's full-size automobile in 1955. The Fairlane was well-received and available in several body styles, including two- and four-door sedans, hardtops, station wagons, convertibles, and even a coupe utility for the Australian market. Today, well-kept first-generation examples such as this 1955 Ford Fairland 2-Door Club Sedan are sought after by discerning collectors. This particular car reportedly received a repaint approximately 15 years ago. The current owner also discloses that it comes with a numbers-matching motor and transmission but lacks documentation to prove it. Never mind, the condition and sheer classic value of this car more than compensate. Let's see what it offers.
Driving a 50s American classic is an experience; the roar of that all-American V8 and iconic styling is one to adore and experience, the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Hardtop we have today ensures your behind the wheel of a true American classic and enjoy time passing by.
Before the muscle and performance of the 60s, things were slow and calm in the world of American motors, land yachts with luxury and class graced the scene, and while they were a sight to behold, they never really had any performance to shock and awe. The 50s legend we have today looks like this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe; it's not another luxury land yacht and sports a surprise underneath its hood, making it a comfortable cruiser that stings.
The original Ford Bronco is always a popular classic here at Exotic Car Trader, and for good reason. The Bronco combined good looks with amazing off-road performance and has developed a cult following. But we’d wager you haven’t seen a Bronco quite like this: Say hello to the 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco by Zero Labs. As the name implies, it’s what we like to call an “electromod.” That is, the original drivetrain has been swapped out for an all-electric one! This 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco features two electric motors—one for each axle—giving it four-wheel drive and a range of over 235 miles. To keep up with the upgraded drivetrain, the rest of the vehicle has been meticulously restored, with new parts installed and an upgraded interior while retaining the classic looks of the original car.
While Shelby’s hugely celebrated association with the Ford Mustang is known to everyone, what happens when the famed tuning company turns its attention to something a bit different? Predictably, it was a roaring success, not least because Shelby American focused on doing what it does best—making iconic Fords just that much more special. With the Ford F-150, Shelby went the extra mile with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that produces a mind-bending 770 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, wait until you delve into the performance specifics of this incredible machine.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
