Used 1957 Ford Skyline Hardtop for sale in Albemarle, TN

The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner (Retractable) is a mid 20th century convertible car with a retractable hardtop, produced by Ford Motor Company in the United States for the model years 1957 to 1959. In 1959 the model name changed to Ford Galaxie Skyliner very shortly after production of the 1959 models had started. The retractable roof mechanism – also known as "Hide-Away Hardtop" was unique to Ford branded products, and was not offered on Continental, Lincoln, Mercury, or Edsel branded vehicles during this time period.

The Ford Skyliner Retractable was a two-door full-size car, that was only the second car in history to be series produced with a retractable hardtop; the first to reach four and five digit mass-production numbers, and the first series produced coupé convertible to feature a roof composed of more than one segment. Additionally, the trunk-lid also consisted of two pieces — one segment took the place where other convertibles typically had a separate lid to cover the soft-top stowage compartment. Both the folding roof and trunk-lid are power operated through an exceptionally complex system. The car listed above is in very good condition. Needs tune-up, tires, battery and all over mechanical checkup. Not running at present time but has been in storage. Clean title and no rust.
