"Sleepwalk"

Fairlane 500 'Towne Victoria'

Engine: 429 cu in Ford Trans: C6 Rear end: 9" Paint: Raven Black, Mocha Frost, and Russet Pearl Ghost Flames. Features: Frenched headlights, shaved, tube grill, functional Lake Pipes, custom interior, cruise control, 12 CD Changer, DVD Player, and Kicker Amp, R&P with front disc brakes, wide white radials are fitted with smoothies, baby moons and rings.

Edlebrock high rise, and big carb along with a mild cam help this "heavy" get down the road. The AC keeps the summers cool. Recent changes include a holley 750 dual feed, aluminum radiator with both pusher and puller. Driving at highway speeds is like riding on a cloud - smooth.....

Towne Victoria was Ford's designator for the 4 door hardtop. Notice the absence of the B pillar, and the addition of the wide stainless steel strip running the length of the drip rail.

Keyless entry with door poppers on dash control front and rear doors. The shaved handles make it hard to tell you're actually looking at a 4 door hardtop! Trunk is also shaved and access is by hidden trunk release.

Stereo CD Changer, and DVD are remoted to the cabin, and the trunk is upholstered to match interior. Continental Kit is factory add on. Car was assembled in Dallas, and delivered to Fred Jones Ford showroom in Oklahoma City in October, 1957. I am the second owner, and purchased the car in the summer of 1975.

Beauty, I always liked the 57, we had a black '56 2-dr hardtop with the 312 cube, it was hot and pretty.
