Grandpa had a 57 Ford Custom. Stick shift on the column and no radio. Color was pea green. Not very pretty. Bought it from an old Detroit Ford dealer no longer in existence. Floyd Rice Ford.
We'll overlook your ignorance. 'Club' is a 2-door sedan and 'Victoria' is a 2-door hardtop. Custom, Fairlane and Fairlane 500 are trim levels.@@Felix-f2n6k

How long did they continue with those "dog leg" windshield frames? Most everyone was dumping them because they got in the way, every time a driver got in and out.
Credit--or blame--GM for wraparound windshields. They first appeared on 1954 Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs after being shown on the Olds Fiesta limited edition convertible in 1953. By 1955, they spread to Fords and Mercurys and by 1956, they appeared on most new cars from all manufacturers. They were completely gone by 1966, when the Imperial, which was still based on its 1957 platform, ended its body-on-frame models
My husband had the yellow '66 Ford Fairlane GT, minus the black stripe! Love your videos, CCC!
57 Fords really are great cars.
I had a 57 300. 292 3 on the tree. Leak3d about a quart a day. Loved that car.

"Club" and "Victoria" were two different bodies.
Two different trim models.

1959 was slightly less; 1960 gone altogether (Fords).
