1957 Ford Fairlane 500

• Light green and white four-door sedan with heavy patina — the hood, trunk and front panels show extensive faded, mottled and surface-rusted paint.
• Chrome bumpers and grille are dull and pitted in places, and the body sits low on small steel wheels.
• The fins and round tail lights are intact, with rust staining around the rear panel and bumper.
• The green and white bench interior is shown only from the front, with patterned cloth that looks worn but largely intact.
• The dash photo shows an odometer reading of 97,856 miles.
• The engine bay shows a Thunderbird-badged V8 with a large round air cleaner, surface rust and grime throughout.
• A door data plate is photographed but is partly illegible in the photo, so its numbers can't be fully read.
• No trunk photos are in the set, so the trunk floor and spare can't be judged.
• No underside photos are in the set, so the floors and frame can't be judged, and no rear-seat close-ups are shown.

Money: At $15,900 the money buys a patina four-door Fairlane as a project-grade survivor, so budget for paint, chrome and mechanical recommissioning, and the unseen underside and trunk are what can't be judged at this price.
