I JUST LOVE 3 ON THE TREES! SO COOL.
You and me both, thanks David
Understated classic icon. One of my favorites from the 50's
Yes, glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for following Samspace81, Chicagojunk. I've never been to Chicago
When you think about it cars from this era don't look old due to their styling.

I learned to drive in my Dad's 57 Ford on an old curvy gravel road in Eastern Kentucky, it was black too but automatic trans. I loved that car and my Dad for letting me drive, I was 11yrs old at the time.
Thankss Daryl for sharing that memory
That was my first car in 1963. I paid $500 for it. Went into the service in '65 sold it to a friend, he wrecked it and it ended up at the fire department to practice the jaws of life. I cried for days.
The "57 Ford has always been one of my favorites,plus it's got the 3 on the tree.
Thanks for checking it out Roger! I just love the sound of a Y-block Ford with glasspack mufflers too. Enjoy the channel, be sure to subscribe if you havent.
Gorgeous 2 door hardtop with classic black paint. I just love those hooded headlamps. Very forward looking styling. Doesn't look dated. Stands the test of time quite well. All in all just a joy to watch and no doubt to ride in also.
It has definitely does stand the test of time as you mentioned. It's a car that will never look old, much less an "antique"!
My favorite American Classics

I love a 57 Ford too! Also a 50
57 fairlane was my first car , l was 17. Great memories. Wish l still had it!
Love that, appreciate you sharing
What a sweet car! Really well videographed. Always loved the '57 Fords.
Thanks you so much! Me too & thanks for following Samspace81 CZcams channel, plenty more to come.
And not overdone.
Me too... also the '59 with those similar round jet afterburner lights... awesome 👌
@@jimmycricket5366 Oh yeah! My first car was a '59 Galaxie 2 Door. I loved that thing.
There’s just something surreal yet majestic about a classic car driving along the road like they did back in the day, back when cars like this ruled the roads. It’s awesome to see that these metal artifacts of history are preserved and still run just like they did several decades ago.
It really is. Thank you
Gorgeous, haven't seen one like this in a long time. Thanks for sharing this vehicle , it's brought back great memories.
Thanks Phil and enjoy the channel. This car is actually for sale too.
I owned a '57 Ford Fairlane tu-tone black & red w/a 292 V8, automatic, ps, crank windows with no a/c. Drove it from NJ to Coral Gable, Fl over Labor Day weekend, 1967. I wish I still had that baby. What a fun car to drive.
Great looking and sounding cara
i can’t stop rewinding to the beginning to hear that beautiful engine
It did sound sweet
Sweet 57 Ford, looks great, sounds even better. After market cam I'd say.
I agree!
This girl sounds healthy and mean but it is one good looking car.It is nice to know that there were some good looking cars in '57 besides the Chevy Bel Air!
I like to think the year I was born produced quite a few good to beautiful looking cars. This '57 Ford of course, the Bel-Air, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Lincoln, Cadillac, Plymouth, Dodge and Imperial to name several others.
Beautiful car. Love it. Had a 57 "back in the day".
Coop Fords
Beautiful car beautifully done as well.
Thanks so much for watching
🤙great sound. Beautiful car love the 57
Classic, thanks George for watching 👀
thanks for the ride, a well done video. remembering mine as a first car in 1969
My pleasure, appreciate you watching & sharing that memory
My grandfather has one of these also black and three on the tree but ordered it brand-new back in the day with a 312 instead of a 292 he still has the factory order sheet in the car. The engine upgrade was no extra charge but the am fm radio was 85 dollars extra
Thanks Eric 4 sharing
This was the first classic car video that I watched and is arguably what got me entrenched in the hobby 4-5 years ago
Thats awesome! Fun times, I sold that car and several others for the socked foot man at that time. When I was doing sales.
Sounds beautiful.
Really did, old school
Smooth. Love the sound of them. Old. Y. Blocks.
Like My 57 Victoria, only Mine was Canary yellow on the top and bronze on the bottom. It was made in Canada and had a Yellow Mercury Y- Block 312 V-8 With 3 on the tree and overdrive and drove like new.
Great color combo, I'm partial to 50s cars. Appreciate you following Samspace81
Cant beat the sound of those Y block motors
No its got the right rasp and tone to it, they have a distinctive sound for sure. Thanks for checking it out fellow Y-block lover! Enjoy the channel.
My brother had one just like that except it had Mercury skirts, and 390 automatic. Beautiful car.
If it was a 390 it was not original. Top engine in "57 was the 312 Thunderbird special Y block.
Awesome
My first car was a 57 ford fair lane loved it a 292 & would run like hell.
This is a real sweet old 57 Ford, thanks for the comment Edward. I love a good Y-Block
Beautiful car. I really miss those steering wheels in older cars and the way they handled - drifting along the road.
So do I I hate the thick kinds we have now
Beautiful car 👍
It must've been fun to live back then!
You know it
My father has 57 Custom 300 292. Y-Block V8. Amazing car, blue and white colored. At Turkey. Sound of the engine was amazing and similar like this Fairlane 500. Very nice video thank you :)
Thank you and thanks for sharing that memory with me. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel! _ Sam
Black is the most beautiful 57 ever!
Black and Ford go hand in hand
Age 17 had one four door hardtop, 312 headers, 1969 was a great year. cost nearly 4 .50 to fill it though. 3 hours wages.
Great memories, thanks for sharing that
Beautiful car
Appreciate you watching
Man your videos are fantastic and truly show your affection for old cars!
Aww man that makes me feel good! Thank you for that! Glad you are enjoying the channel!! I'm a total gearhead. I love hearing peoples stories and listening to the sounds of these old cars, squeaks and moans, engines. They all have a story to tell, the cars and the people.
Im exactly the same way man! Your videos are inspiring me to take it to the next level!
First time I've seen your channel, subscribed! Keep it up. Yeah buddy, I'm trying to get better. My friend really has a dynamite CZcams channel, Ramblinaround if you're not familiar. Check them out!
Thanks a lot man, and yeah I know ramblinaround too!
Love the. Sound of that 57 ford wfhat. A great car it was
Really enjoyed the car
The 292 engine in my F100 had a lot of torque. Ford used that engine in bigger trucks. I saw one in a 2 ton farm truck.
Appreciate you sharing 🙏
i like this car soo much,this car looks almost exactly with Oldsmobile car and it is very rare.
nice car.. bad ass tube socks
One of my best videos for sure lol he dressed to impress. No shoes, you still get my service though
Beautiful style in those days. I'd consider a quiet muffler system a big improvement.
You and me both!
It probably came with one originally.
Best looking and sounding car ever. Have the privilege of doily driving a Y Powered car. Don't know of a better engine.
Love the sound of them and they make great torque. Thanks for the great comment!
I don't really get much into fords, but this is a nice car
I hear you Chris! Thanks for checking it out. I'm the same way. Check out the '56 and '57 Fords I just filmed up by Mount Rushmore too. Enjoy the channel.
Beautiful car.
Thanks Rick
Amazing car! Looks great - inside and out.. Custom exhaust - sounds very cool!
I like the Baby Moon Hub Caps With Rims.❤
Parents Gave Me Their 57 Reg.Fairlane, As HS Grad.Present ,W/ 292,4 Dr.Kinda ,Not Cool Back Then to Drive Up in HS parking lot W/ 4 dr. But Was Free.Even the 292 Had Good Power & Torque.Buddy Of Mine Had The 57 Ford Skyliner, That Had the Hard Top that Folded Back into Trunk.
One of my favourite FORDS!
Loved that one good story
Good ole 3 on the tree
A lot art to drive, I can drive them blindfolded
This was my first car in 1965. I don’t think I paid more than $100. Didn’t last long. Stopping at a gas station was like “Check the gas and fill it with oil”
Love this
wow took a min for the tubes to warm up on the old tube radio i'd forgotten that when you first turn the radio on lol turn it on at 3:38 i had a 55 chevy same thing
Yup ha
I'm a '57 too, but I don't look this good!
haha do you have glasspacks? Thanks for checking it out and enjoy the channel. You're a classic too!
the 57s looked really nice but they came out with the FE block in 1958, 352, 360, 390, 410, 427, 428. I have a 1964 high nickel FE block in my 73 Ford short 4X. My Dad bought a new 58 Fairlane first year 352. He took the hubcaps off and took it to the drag strip, lol. I was 4. He later picked up a 56 T Bird, a 66 Shelby GT 350 and a 72 Pantera (351 Cleveland mid engine). We like Fords. I remember the 69 LTD with the 429 would spin when it hit second gear in drive. My favorite was probably the 1940 Ford Coupe with the big Merc motor I almost fell out of, lol. Those were the days
Great stuff. I love 40 Fords. I just filmed an incredible one in Tennessee in one of my walkthrough videos. Appreciate you watching the Samspace81 classic car channel and taking time to comment about your FE engine in the F100. Great stories about your dad, man I live for comments like that. _ SAM
Me gusta el carro; un Ford Fairlane 500 1957; así era el primer carro que cayó del puente sobre el Lago de Maracaibo el día 06/04/1964
Appreciate you Jose
very nice sounds amazing what mufflers did you go with and are the wheels 14 or 15 on it.
Wish I could remember to tell you
Im just now viewing this clip its been out for seven years youtude ( not a mispelling) youtude is like slack'n but your FIARLANE aint!!! She looks and sounds SWEET
Good memories for me too I sold that one twice
nice machine
It sure is!
Do you still have the 1957 Ford Fairlaine 500 black 2 door hard top? Is it for sale and how much you asking for it?
Auto poetry in motion ! Joseph Schmalz
What are the two clips per each rear wheel well for, skirts?
You answered
I LIKE IT ONE OF MY DREAMCARS.. I WISHD ID HAD 1957 FORD. 1963 PONTIAC
Sweet, you need one
How did you make it so loud? My 292 has straight pipes and is not that loud
It had cherry bomb mufflers
Can I ask how to install reverse lights and equipment. I own a 1957 Ford Custom and am looking to install them because it never came with reverse lights.
Maybe there's a kit
I typically don’t care for the 57 Ford but that black one looks pretty good. They seem to look better in a solid color than they do with a 2 tone paint job. Just my personal opinion and nothing more. Apparently people in 1957 really liked them because they outsold the 57 Chevy. I like the 55 and 56 Fords better
Great take on it, thanks sir
How can you tell its a 292 Ford Y-Block V8? Is it a 1957 292?
Car must be comfy.
Take your shoes off, relax :) Enjoy the channel!
Dawm that thing sounds good.
Thanks for watching & commenting, Jeff
@@samspace81 love that 57 Ford. Takes me back to my childhood years when there were a lot of them on the road.
@@samspace81 also love the Chevys. And plymouths too
I like the 57 Fairlanes. Nice looking car. I'm new to this channel, just wondering if you have filmed a 1963 Galaxy hardtop or convertible. If not it would be cool if you could cruise around in one. My dad had one back in the late 60's. It was white with red interior. Unfortunatly, he wrecked it coming home from work one night in 1969 and totaled it. He was broad sided by a truck and bent the frame. Luckily he escaped with a minor cut on his forehead. I have only a few memories of it as I was only 4 years old when it happened. Thanks!
I sure have, both actually. Search my videos and you'll find them. Thanks for sharing that memory, glad that he got out of that ok.
Ok thanks for the info!
Class looks Style. Nothing like that today. Todays cars are junk.
Fair
Drive more often without shoes love the floor mounted gas pedals
Feels it in his toes
can you tell me what exactly you got for mufflers on this? i have one but my exhaust system was a single, and it rotted off. i was wondering what it was so i can buy one thats close to sounding like this one.
It had Cherry Bombs
@@samspace81 thanks, what length ones did it have?
That's a sweet 57 I like it because it's straight shift and V 8
Yes so cool
Thinking about picking up this same car with the exseption of the engine being a 390.
I'd rather have a 289 or 352
Yup, that was my first car, previously owned I might add.
Good choice! Very cool, was it also a 3 on the tree 292
It really needs wide white wall tires
Would be cool
Does this car come with socks to drive ? :)
My '57 Fairlane 2 door is metal flake marron and white with a big block 390fe engine.
I'm in love
me too
My first car. I bought it from a guy who won it a card game.
Love it
This is the basis for the Smith Custom 300 in Mafia 2.
Yes for sure! Fun game. Hey I appreciate you watching Samspace81 too
@@samspace81 Same here.
The 1957 Ford Fairlane and Custom 300, in my opinion, are better than both the '55-57 T-Bird and the Tri-Five Chevys. I especially love them when it's got that very rare F-Code supercharger packed.
Wicked cool cars
IKR. My favorite car from 1957.
Sleeper look even
Yeah.
Buy the driver some shoes.
I sold about 250,000 worth of cars for that guy in a month, hope he bought some shoes.
samspace81
f2f ::) fjgxhj
imonittonite 1971 Plymouth sport fury
driver act like he can afford to restore a 1957 ford but could not afford any shoes lol
Shit if I had cars like this my ass would be barefoot
Why is the driver wearing sox? Car's looked like a boat going down the road back then.
Yes James socks guy
I want one because Dave Gahan had one
Appreciate you watching 👀
So where is Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones?
In a perfect world maybe
i would like to join the space age and drive a rocket ship too
So cool
4 mpg.
😆 🤣
I remember seeing this year and model ford being used in an episode of the Twilight zone. The car was trying to get the driver to turn himself into the police for running a kid over.
That's cool I need to find it
My mistake it was a 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan .You Drive” (1964, episode 134)
Cars do come alive in The Twilight Zone - when they have something to prove. Ollie Pope learns a lesson about concealing his crimes after he accidentally hits a paperboy with his 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan and hurries away without reporting it. Pope’s car starts acting on its own to get him to admit his guilt, becoming increasingly insistent that Pope shouldn’t hide the truth.
👍
Nice year for ford😅
Appreciate you watching. I'm partial to them and 56 Fords
How many seat belts does this car have now?
27
Thunder road
Absolutely 💯
Needs a muffler!
What can ya do lol
Why is he wearing socks when his driving he should be wearing sandle because when the video end and he’s going back home then sock will get dirty
He's a sock man
Driver has no shoes !!!!!
James No Shoes Only Socks us guys call him
Looks like the frame is bent out of shape
First time I've heard that one
@@samspace81 Yea you can tell when your driving down the road. Follow in another car and you will see the rear end is tracking to the right of the front end.
But my grandfather knows how to live - he drives a car in only socks. What's not a reason to respect your elders? (Unironic)
Driving socks
Ford outsold Chevy in 57
Great fact. Thanks Roger. I appreciate you watching
too bad it isn't original.. it is funny car junk right now
Everyones a critic, still a cool car. 292 and 3 on the tree is still ORIGINAL. Fair enough?
Car looks good, but needs mufflers. Sounds like a damn truck.
Glasspack Mufflers sound badass with a Y-Block bud!
Perhaps to some. Me, I like a quiet cruiser that sneaks up on people, not broadcasts its presence. I gave up making noise when I got older.
