- #1958FordFairlane Junkyard Find. Here we have this more door Ford from the 1950s make it into yard. I must say its pretty rare to see anything form the 50s make into the yards these days. So it was a bitter sweet treat to see her there. Although She was essentially all there, she was in super rough shape. I believe thus one might have bee a flood car at some point. The plate was from 1971 so it may be half a century that this one has been off the road. There were some good parts still there like trim and glass along with some dash parts possibly. I did find some cool vintage bottles though, including an old 7up bottle that was still sealed.
Whoa Nelley, oh my Lord, it's another junked Ford. That one is really "Texas Toasted".....
We got the VIN, we win: C for 292 V8 with two barrel (with about 205 HP and this engine had a Holley two barrel), 8 for 1958 model year, D for Dallas, TX assembly, T for Fairlane/Fairlane 500 two or four door, and the rest is the production sequence. There were about 105,698 of them made in 1958. Says 33,665 miles which is probably 133,665. The Dallas, TX plant operated from 1914 to 1970.
We got the tag, we can brag: 58A for Fairlane Town Sedan, LE2 for Azure Blue lower (L) and Colonial White Upper (E) two tone exterior paint, C for Blue Sof-Textured Vinyl and Blue Box-Striped Fabric or Blue Random-Block Patterned Fabric or Blue Royal Scot Tweed interior trim, 13B for February 13, 1958 production (which was a Thursday), 3 for Fordomatic transmission and 1 for 3.10:1 rear axle ratio.
Whoa Nelley, 1958 and not so great. Azure Blue, it's over for you. Ford two speed is in much need. Off the road in 1971, this one is done. Texas Toasted, this one was really roasted. 292 V8 and it's going to meet its' fate. Going to be flat and that's that. That's it, time to quit. Rot in the floor and there isn't much more. Going to get squished and the old school FOMOCO faithful are probably going to be pissed.
That was the last year for the Y block manufactured in the United States if I remember correctly.
@@garymckee448 I want to say it ran through 1964 in certain Ford Motor Company products.
@@googleusergp I forgot about trucks
The two-speed Fordomatic was introduced in 59.The earlier Trans started out in second gear(except for the 58 and later Cruisomatics, thus were mistakenly referred to as "two-speeds".
@@garymckee448 Wrong, 62 in cars, 64 in trucks.
The trim still looks so good because it's all stainless steel. They sure don't put that quality stuff in cars anymore.
My dad had a 59 Fairlane. Those were beautiful cars! But I also liked the sound of the starter when it was cranking during a challenging start. Did anyone else like that?
Benny that Fairlane is beautiful. I love it!!
I agree...I love it too! : )
Looks to be a 292 Y-block, still had the larger have sizes, and the higher lift rocker-arms that year. 58 was year-one for the cruisematic trans. You could take off in first(instead of second), an improved version of the old Ford's.
Awesome Old lady
This is absolutely insane. How long did this car sit around? 50 years? You have to wonder where it was all of this time. It was in a field somewhere or something and whoever owned the land finally sold the place or the person passed away or something? Any 1958 Fords that still exist are in the hands of collectors at this point. Why this car did not get junked by sometime in the 1970s, but instead managed to exist all the way until 2021 is crazy. I don't know how much is salvageable other than some of the trim. If it only went 33,665 miles that is a shame. I guess it's 133,665 miles.
The car looks like it was partially under water, maybe a few times while sitting.
Plates were 1971, so it was only driven maybe 13 years.
@@richardcoram1562 Yes and by 1971 it was probably old and worn out and just got parked.
@@googleusergp yes, that'd be a likely reason. I got hold of a beat up 56 Thunderbird in '1989. The only cool thing about that little ugly bird was it was all there. The last plate was a california black plate 1964, so it was driven for 8 years before the wreck. It had 77,××× miles on odometer before being shoved into a garage up in Taft Ca.and piled up with junk. It had the 312, holly 4bbl, air cooled ford-0-matic. Had NAPA REBUILD BOTH, had to go .o4o overbore due to water/ antifreeze in cylinders from cracked head.. I did all the body work,no new sheet metal , and after 4 years of banging and cussing, I I had it painted with a toyota super red bottom, and super whiteporthole fiberglass top. Went through all the different wheel covers as it had the original ford dog dish caps. I tried the Coker wide whites and roadster wires, really a hassle there. Finally settled on erasing that dated look and went with a lower profile blackwall,on a 10 spoke mag, a custom made rear bumper as it was missing the continental kit. I got the perfect look, and low. Rode and drove like a dream. I ended up with a beautiful little driver. I did add a custom suspension upgrade,a 2" over the differential anti sway bar, and front end bushings kyb shocks. Damn. That turned into one sweet little bird. I drove it often won a lot of trophies, and took a second place at my last show in 2014, just before selling it. I had a few long hard driving trips during that 25 year passionate⚘ love affair.😎
@@richardcoram1562 Yup it happens all the time. Life gets in the way and that's what happens to cars like that.
That old girl is crispy!
She sure is
More steel in one door of that Ford than a whole new car
I remember when these came out new.!!!!
Very cool sir. You have lived thru some cool, and trying times...
Thanks for sharing
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was growing up the neighbor lady had a 1958 Ford and sometimes I would catch a ride to school. That interior brings back memories
The " ugly duckling " of the late 50s fords.. I kinda like them
What a relic !
Air Conditioning was available on full size Ford V8s beginning with model year 1955. It vented from outlets on top of the dash that flanked the radio speaker. A/C was first available for Mercurys beginning in 1955 as well, but it was a trunk mounted system. For Lincolns, factory air, again a trunk mounted system, was first available for the 1953 models...
Yes, the factory AC on my 58 cadillac has the vents at the base of the front window, not exactly a good place, when my sister and I were little kids, we would stand up and stick our fingers into the vents to feel the cold air lol.
My grandpa had a 1958 Fairlane 2 door with a 332 V8 and column shift. Ironically, he lost it in a flood in 1972. Always thought this was one of the most underrated designs of the 50s
By chance are you in SE Idaho & are talking about the Teton Damn Flood?
@@BareRoseGarage No it was central Pennsylvania during Hurricane Agnes
Another good video my man some off those cars from the 50 s dated real quick as a kid growing up in the 1970s we had some family friends that had some those old cars and we thought they were ugly most off the people that were still driving them were older people that grew up in the 1950s with those tanks sow they raved about them but unlike the cars from the 1960s and 1970s which the styling was a little more modern and aged well even today ,those cars from the 50s were just too much going on especially with the fin wars they were having at the time but that car probably could been saved maybe 20 years ago .✌🏿
Strangely enough, I took my 58 cadillac out for a spin around town today. Sad to see this poor old girl in this shape. The caddy has been in the family since 1960. My parents bought it. It was given to me in 1982.
You can really see the Thunderbird front end influence in the Fairlane. Whiskey sours! Big party drink in 1965-1975. My parents always had it in a punch bowl. Sometimes they added vanila ice cream. Ford outsold Chevy in 1959.
Cool lookin’ grille for sure but yeah, that’s been under water no doubt.
I will would love to have that car.
Unfortunately the yard wont sell it whole. Parts only
The hood looks good, someone probably needs it. Other useful parts, trim, stainless, hate to see it go to the crusher. My Dad bought a 58 four door Fairlane 500 (I think), black and yellow, 352 four barrel, automatic transmission, in 1968. Had lots of fun with that car.
These are nice even in a 4door
I was at a car show and they had a state trooper version
Oh sweet
That's hard to believe!!
El car más bonito que he tenido era de mi padre lo compro en México Tamaulipas en 1960 y lo disfruto hasta 1988 que lo vendió y me puse muy triste lo amaba ese automóvil.
On that Ford fairlane those stainless windshield wipers are hard to get the original ones you should of got those off there
Cool 😀
im no ford guy but to the right person theres some usable parts left i agree neat glove box ornament
I sold a '59 dash a few years ago, cluster, no radio for $100 without too much effort. Looks about the same as this.
I'd pick the head and taillight bezels, the straight side trim, the dash, horn ring and maybe the valve covers. Grille maybe. I agree that it was probably flooded at some point. The 9-inch rear in it would probably be desirable, but I am sure it's shot.
I always used to be able to sell those Holley 2bbl carbs, but usually the you pick yards want close to $30 for one and that's about what they're worth, particularly if it's locked up.
Very desirable 9" housing in that '58. Drop in for early Mustangs, Comets, etc.
If it's not loaded with water
Lol, that's why everyone you find is missing the 3rd member, esp the 411 automatic's. They even robbed the 370's out of my 3 on the tree Fairlane (long before I bought the car). They look wide & huge, but these cars are actually pretty small & narrow.
Always liked the quirky design of the 58. Lots of usable parts on the old girl
Im sure someone born in 1930 owned this car... and probably passed away recently...
The real steel , the real Iron ,. They don't make them like that anymore,. Off the road for 50 years? I can relate, because inside a barn , a old 47 Ford 2 door sedan, been there , since 1972 , hadn't been touched ,. Acquired it, but , did nothing, then 1998 , everything fell apart, my life, can't say anymore, but , it's a shame ,. I need to get it out of there , but , when ? No one knows. Hope, one day, but , my health , we'll see
Sorry to hear that about your rough times...hope it gets better for you! Also, perhaps if you are not able to do anything with your '47 Ford, maybe someone else can fulfill your dream for it. Cheers from Canada : )
@@willyboy6126 hey , no , it was brought home by my Dad and another person, put in the barn , back in 1972 ,. It was his in the first place, but , everyday after work, he was too tired to even work on it,. So , from 1972 , on , it didn't get touched , then , after some, things , I acquired the car , in 1987,. Being the idiot I was, I did nothing with it,. I really can't get rid of it , if I ever get out of this city , I have plans for it , I have a , 429 cobra jet motor and a big block C 6 , both to be built, and a frame and Mustang 2 independent front suspension, and have the motor built with power and drop in it , then the rest of what it needs, I can't get rid of it , it's been in our family for , 49 years,. Thanks for the concern. My life,.just as long as it had been sitting, a rough life, if 49 years, since 1974, no sign of slowing down, just really hating my life, because of stupid things , and people,. I never married because of these " Sorry" people, I never should have let that happen, but it did ,. Unfortunately, since things went bad , I have not seen my family or my home town in 17 years, and counting ,. It's people who cry , about everything,. I was never a bully , a scumbag criminal,. Or anything bad ,. Just being a straight arrow person, people hate straight arrow people, I got into more trouble than anyone out there, a shit , and fucked up life , that I hate , people, just said piss on my life. So, for all these years, I have been suffering,. You have no idea what I have seen out there with piece of trash people,. Makes me wonder if I should have died , after I was born,. Because I almost died, several times, in the early years if my life, twice when I was very young, once in Junoir high school, tripped I'm a the hallway, another time in the military, got knocked down a flight of stairs in high school. Yup,. A miserable life.
@@willyboy6126 Canada ? Cool , I live in Oregon on the western part of the United States,.
AM radio is a good DXer!
My favorite year for Ford
Really nice old good rare car.
It is cool! Don't crush it, leave it for the tourists!
Unfortunately it was eventually crushed
Still a few good parts left.
This car is a mid year model called the" spring special " and was put out to increase sales in 1958 because it was a very bad year for selling cars . It is a full size Ford Fairlane and came with special financing .
The Spring Special parts might be flip material.
1958 Chevys are just as bad! Rusted real bad too
@@donselke9487 Up here in the salt they would rot so bad the headlights would fall out of the fenders.
I've messed with some 58 Chevys and the frames rot pretty bad. We looked at one Bel Air hardtop once and open the trunk and there's just dirt, the top of two coil springs and some of the rear end sticking out. Entire floor and frame gone.
Nice car
The Galaxy right there is clearly a very beautiful car it may not look beautiful with that is clearly a diamond in the rough that car right there fully restored would be a car to die for I've seen cars like that all messed up and still go for 7 to $10,000 car right there could be a dream car after Bill Carlton gets ahold of it from extensive beautiful car God bless
The engine is eather a 272 or a 292 Y block.
It was a 292 V8 originally in this car.
Good one Benny all the post on CZcams about vehicles sitting for 40 years and will run 😆
That's kinda what I was going for 😄
292 “might” have ECZ G heads with high ratio rockers.
Thanks Benny!! Sad to see the 4 door sister to my ‘58 Ranchero.
Can you msg the location??
By golly it does have the Y block dual exhaust manifolds on it and those were hard to find. Most had that cross over pipe going across the engine in front. I may be wrong but most the two barrel engines were 292 and four barrel were 312 cubic inch engines and buddy they did run with the best.. That was the base model an the high dollar galaxies had the wide trim in brushed aluminum on the sides like your famous 57 chevy. That car brings back some beautiful memories as I had the four door hardtop. You could drive a four door as long as it wasn't a sedan but that two door sedan was just fine. I owned every one of the fifty models and fifty eight was the first new one I had
The crossover pipe for the exhaust was only used on cars for 1954, but on trucks through 1964. But the rear dump manifolds were in demand for those wishing to convert to duals, so yes, they are valuable.
@@jeromebreeding3302 I am from the era and remember very plainly seeing them on a lot of rigs as they were hard to find in the day, so you didn't have to bend pipe to make duals as my fifty eight four door sedan with a hold over 292 stock engine had. My dad bought it new and when older became mine.
@@morgansword Did a lot of junkyard scrounging decades ago, and found many a Ford robbed of the driver's side exhaust manifold to make duals.The passenger side had a backside dump, so the topside could be capped at the top, therefore you only had to bust your knuckels on one side.
@@jeromebreeding3302 If you seen the late 56 t birds, they actually did have a 312 in them even after they supposedly didn't make till 57. Those with that teapot four barrel were great till something got plugged up in their unic fuel systems. I was never a good carburetor guy . I did get good on those distribitors and I can't say that I could pull it off today.
@@morgansword Some police cruisers in 56, were equiped with two of the' teapot carbs". They were notorious for catching fire and destroying the car. They had smaller bores than the Ford, or Holley carbs that came out the following year.
Don’t see a lot of those around I think it has the same engine as the thunder bird 312 or 292 interesting that it had the lock for the door near the vent window. I can remember one of my uncles had one of them when I was younger can’t remember what color it was .
I like those old bottles and cans.
I know im weird.
I'm weird too then. I took that 7up
You're an intelligent fella.
I love the classics,im restoring a 1959 Galaxy.Im looking for a front windshield and radiator automatic
Wow sounds fun
I'm a 59 model myself, and could use a little restoration...😁
Good parts car. But I love the 58 Ford. But the 2 doors.
While she's still not unsaveable, it'd take someone special to restore a generic 4 door with no particularly rare options. My '57 Ford "Skyliner" retractable is just about as rough, but she's also a Skyliner to begin with, and a rare one even at that, factory AC, 312 thunderbird special, all the power options, lots of dealer accessories even. Parked since 1971 same as this '58 due to a barn fire that charred the rear quarter and rendered the retractable feature useless and the trunk locked shut.
Wow cool car, and what a terrible shame about the fire.
I'm actually building 2 of these '58 Fords right now. A Fairlane "Club Sedan" (which is what this is) and a 300 (both 2 doors). Man, I would take this whole car in a heartbeat! All the trim, the door hinges, the trunk lid, the dash.... too many to list easier to just buy it all. Where is it located?
That engine is a 292, which replaced the flathead and was replaced by the 302 and 351. If that was my car, I would pull the front clip to be a wall hanger, since it is so complete. I would also pull the dash, it would look good in a street rod.
Oh and the 239. Haha
That 7up bottle and the Whiskey Sour can are from the seventies.I remember those well lol.😂
Really sucks when sone hunkyards are hailed on, all those legends lost their chance to be on the road again because of those hail storms. damnit
Let it rust in peace ✌🏻🕊️
4 door Fairlane models aren't worth much as they're more for parts towards the 2 door Ford variants. They need to have more specific stuff in them to be worthwhile to save like factor A/C, power windows (rare option), 352 block, interceptor special package, stuff that were either special orders from the customer or dealer special. The old Y block engines however do have value, no matter the size, including the transmission from either the automatics or 3 speeds including the 9 inch rear axles as they are wonderful to turn into posi rear ends.
Thanks for the vid! Came up in my recommendations since I'm restoring a '58 Fairlane 500 Interceptor Special lol
😥😥😥😥😥
One day the 4dr models will be the rarest ones. That car has tons of potential.
Wow what a beautiful car only if I had the $$ to rebuild it to safety driving
Don’t think it’s a restoration project. Too much to rebuild. It was a good car in it’s day .
Terry
Ford and Mercury junk around it ? But that’s a BOX Ford next to it 🤣. Thanks for sharing it.
How do you make this happen? You run across the rarest things
That car was under water maybe stolen years ago one sign is all the rust even inside that would not have happened sitting in a field somewhere, too much rust in place that don't normally rust ......
Check for 352 Intercepter Special!
Cool Front end on that 58 Fairlane !
Lot of 50s cars out west, CZcams is full of videos from then. All full size Fords come with optional AC btw
There's lots of 50s cars here in Texas. Just not in self service junkyards where all your modern vehicles end up. There are several classic yards around here that have a good variety of 50s vehicles.
@@ClassicRideSociety Oh ok I was gonna say. Too bad that 58 can't be saved, I'm in Michigan, our 50s-60s cars turned to powder decades ago from salt, except the restored one's. I remember In 1996 going out to the panhandle of Oklahoma (Guymon) and buying a 66 Galaxie XL, except for the bottom of the back quarters (rusted from dirt sitting inside them) needing replacement, the car was rust free. The frame and torque boxes were completely rust free, the back drums were still stock, had the FoMoCo logos on them! This car was 30 years old when I got it from the original owner, I payed 2500 for it. Was loaded had AC, PW, clock SCCP, etc every option except disc brakes and the 427. 6D68Y157641 Car is up north somewhere in Saginaw when I sold it in 2014. I changed the colour to Heritage Burgundy (a 61-63 ford colour) put Cragars on it, warmed the 390 over to 400 hp, 4:11 gears, etc. Would turn 13.70s at the drags, was a nice driver. I miss it, being poor sucks, we lost everything during Obama and the house and all the toys had to go
I always loved the 1958 Ford cars. These rusted very badly, in short order up north. My aunt and uncle had one of these in blue and white. It rusted terribly, and was replaced with a new 1963 Falcon wagon.
My uncle had a 58 and then he got a 65 Galaxie 352 4bbl, I always wanted to drive it but I was only 14 when he got a giant Ltd in 74.
I once in the 70,s bought a 58 wagon with a 332 for $15 and it ran. The 9 inch rear went in my 56 vicky htp. I still have that 332 FE engine. Now I have a 55 2door ranch wagon. and am going to pull the running six cyl and replace it with a 390 from a 62 T bird. That example is way too far gone to fix, There are lots more better project vehicles than there are Ready willing & able buyers for them.
Cheapest I've bought one for was my 67 Cutlass Supreme. Lady was getting a divorce and selling the property. She said to give her what the junkyard would pay, $300. Sold with a title
@@ClassicRideSociety I hate to say it, but a divorced or divorcing person is the best deal out there at times. Unfortunately, you are making out on someone else's misery though......
Interesting to see the you kind of Wonder it had to be something somewhere hidden I see a boatload of Parts but it's too far for me pretty cool to see what else is out there there
Yes , added to your favorite drink, bourbon , makes it taste more interesting,.
Classic ride society how does one car accumulate so much rust?
63 years of Texas sun and no wax.
Possibly also flooded at some point
@@ClassicRideSociety that's a shame
Possibly flooded multiple times.
AC was dealer installed under dash
I was kinda thinking that. Possibly Polar Air underdash unit. I have a couple of those
@@ClassicRideSociety correct but they oem'd for the mfg
My uncle had a 58 and the hood opened backwards.
As does this one....
You should save the dash pieces
292 Y block, maybe 332 FE.
Sir ,how long was it from time you shot this to it show up on you tube.Even it rough it can be save don't give up on her
He doesn't own the car.....
It's at a salvage. I made the video a few weeks back. Unfortunately they ate only parting it out.
The engine size is a 312 V8
Would buy it and strip all good parts. For another. Car.
0:58 if you drink this 7 up you will be 8 down. Maybe 8 hours, 8 days or 8 feet.
Im interested in buying that car and restoring it whats the name of the junkyard its in need contact info of yard
Gonna cost you big time, hope you have deep pockets...you can buy a nice one in running condition for FAR less that it will cost to get this back on the road.
I think the engine was a V-292
In Uk terms that car is MINT
🤔😐😣😥1958😥
This car came off the line 4 days before I was born judging from the date code LOL
How did you post this when you have been dead 58 years.....
Pretty cool but she's rusty and crusty. I would buy she's been off the road for 50 years.
All that dirt was the ground.
wild guess 352 ?
That's a perfect car to restore as a nice old grocery getter. Its complete, minimal amount of body damage, not a lot of really bad rust. MAN, That's a cool '58, although never my favorite. Its Also a four door, again not a favorite, however I'm sure It could be someone's dream car.😱🚫
Oh well this late edit just says YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!
The old guy from Christine says to Arnie You put brand new windshield wipers on a broken windshield
It looks like that car has been underwater a lot more than once! Rust on the tip of the transmission dipstick is never a good sign!
Well mabe just mabe someone could save that one..that be a cool ride to save..
I know its a year old, but whatever happened to this car?
It sat in the yard for a few months as a few parts got pulled. Then they crushed it
@@ClassicRideSociety Oh thats.... thats heartbreaking. Wish I'd discovered this soon. Thanks for capturing this gem on film before it was gone.
That poor car must of been submurged in a canal, river, or a lake at one time.
Or a flood
Hi, does anyone here have a good video on the easiest way to remove heating elements from a 1958 Ford Fairlane Club Viktoria. Thanks in advance . SINCERELY

Where is this car located?
BYOT AUTO SALVAGE in Elm Mott TX
@@ClassicRideSociety thank you
@@eddiekerbo 👍
272 or 292 Y block
Should be saved and restored
To restore that car would cost 10 times what it is worth. She's where she belongs.
@@maxzee1739 One man's opinion. Value of a restored car varies alot from one to another.
@@davidleland8729 Well, it's a fact that the car is an absolute basket case. It's also a fact it would cost a FORTUNE to restore it. The value of restored '58 4 door Fords is up for debate. But it's pretty well established that they're not very desirable. So unless the car was owned by someone super famous or something like that...makes 0 sense to try to save it. There are way better 58 Fords out there.
@@maxzee1739 I have seen people restore some cars in far worst condition and what some would say less desirable makes and models. It all depends upon what a person sees as a project build. Look at all those restomods and rat rods out there.
@@maxzee1739 I believe that makes it Check mate.
Anchiant age
I could get that car running ! It would need a little bit of love but it could be done 😄
Sure, all it needs is an engine, transmission, driveshaft and rear end assembly and there you are! Oh yeah, brake system and intire steering assembly just to be sure.
