57, 58, and 59. This one was originally a Ford Fairlane Skyliner. My dad liked the Canadian grill way better. But the Canadian version of this car did not have a hardtop convertible (Skyliner) version. So he modified his and made his own. This is the ‘57 Model.
Correct. My dad converted this Ford Skyliner to a Meteor because he liked the front grill better than the Ford version. The Meteor did not have a hardtop retractable.

This car is for sale. Located in the Katy TX area.
A neighbor of ours had one in the early 60s. I think they only made them in 57 and 58-?

@@drmacmike Did a great job. Looks completely factory, with no fanciful hot rod gee-gaws.
