The Old '57 On the Road

The Old '57 On the Road

 The golden era of automobiles, when the roads were wide and the engines roared with Detroit power, one car stood out—the 1957 Ford Skyliner.
Picture this: the sun is shining, the sky is a brilliant blue canvas, and you're behind the wheel of a '57 Skyliner, feeling the rumble of its V8 engine. As you press down on the accelerator, the car surges forward with a thunderous growl, unleashing all of its horses in a symphony of power.
With the top down, you're not just driving, you're experiencing the world around you in full Technicolor. The wind rushes through your hair, and the scent of fresh air and gasoline fills your nostrils.
It's not just about the horsepower and speed; it's about the sheer joy of driving. The Skyliner handles like a dream, gliding effortlessly around curves and corners with precision and grace. Its power steering and smooth suspension make every twist and turn a thrill, while its sturdy frame ensures a stable and secure ride, even at high speeds.
And then there's the retractable hardtop. With the push of a button, the roof magically disappears into the trunk, transforming the car from a sleek coupe into a stylish convertible in less than a minute. It's a feat of engineering that never fails to impress, turning heads wherever you go and eliciting envy from onlookers who can only dream of experiencing the open road in such style.
In a time when cars were more than just modes of transportation, but symbols of freedom and individuality, the 1957 Ford Skyliner reigned supreme. With its powerful engine, smooth handling, and innovative design, it captured the hearts and imaginations of drivers everywhere, offering a taste of adventure with every mile.
So the next time you find yourself yearning for the open road, don't settle for anything less than the best. Strap yourself into a '57 Skyliner, put the top down, and let the wind in your hair and the roar of the engine be your guide. Because when you're behind the wheel of a Skyliner, the journey is just as thrilling as the destination.

1957 Ford Skyliner Television Commercial With Tennessee Ernie Ford

 

 Here's the original commercial for an amazing automobile from the old Tennessee Ernie Ford show- the 1957 Ford retractable roof Skyliner. At the time of its release the retractable roof was considered quite an engineering accomplishment. The Skyliner was Fords most expensive vehicle at the time with a base price of $2945. There are a handful of very desirable "F code" Skyliners out there with the supercharged 300 horsepower engine. Todays prices vary widely but a good one seems to fall in the 60k + range.

Brief history of the 1979 Ford F-150 from: https://www.blueovaltrucks.com/ford_articles/history-of-the-ford-f-series-1948-1999

"1979 – Ford’s 1979 model year brought a new promotional campaign for trucks: the famous “Built Ford Tough” slogan. The round headlights were replaced by rectangular headlamps across all the trim levels and the surrounding grille insert that framed the headlamps was now available in either black, or chrome to match that of the aluminum grille frame. Additionally, an optional chrome-plated “F O R D” letterset could now be seen on the hood immediately above the grille."
