This Ford Fairlane got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1958 Ford Fairlane convertible is finished in red and white over a matching interior and is powered by an H-code 352ci Interceptor V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a white soft top, an AM radio, rear wheel skirts, Magnum 500-style wheels, and four-wheel disc brakes. The car was acquired approximately two years ago by the seller, who has reportedly installed a replacement radiator, master cylinder, fuel tank, and fuel pump. This Fairlane is now being offered with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

A red steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows just over 36k miles, approximately 200 of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
