1952-59 Ford Holy. Wow.

On so many levels.

Looks impecable.

 

Nice but not $97K impeccable.

 

yep... thats a lot of dough even given the rarity.

 

What a sleeper in a more door.

 

Maybe $45k.. only if I won Power Ball though....

 

Wrong type seat belts but nice otherwise. Too rich for my blood.

 

It looks like an amateur restoration. I'm surprised the ford store that ordered it didn't just grab a D code car and slap a puffer on it, that is what a lot of dealerships did (from what I understand) on sedans/wagons.

Regardless, if an F code bird of the same level isn't worth 100k, i doubt he'll get it for a fordoor. Neat car though!

 

How does one go about verifying that there was only one F code 1957 Fordor from the Factory?

 

Here's an F code 57 Fairlane 500 that went for $142K

IMHO, this isn't even comparable to the 4 door. This one is a concours car worth every nickle where as the 4 door has an amateur restoration.

 

Maybe not completely comparable but it shows how much an F code car can bring if properly restored.

 

Both cars.. awesome for sure based on their scarcity. The 2-door is definitely coucourse-quality, the 4-door, looks like it could be driven every day and not sweat it too much. But there is a $45k difference between the two. I'd personally take the 4-door over the 2-door.
