1957 Ford Sunliner Unrestored Survivor Incredible Condition Original Owner
I am pleased to present this incredible, highly original 1957 Ford Sunliner. It is being offered by the original owner and only has been driven 8000 +/- miles since new. It is literally a time capsule back to 1957. It is fully documented with invoices, paperwork and even a picture of the owner taking delivery of the car back in 1957. The car was originally purchased from Link Bros. Ford in Minong, WI. VIN # is D7RC189473.
Based on it’s incredible originality and documentation, this car is truly in a league by itself!! This is truly a “Barrett Jackson quality car” without the BJ commission.
Overall condition is highly original/survivor condition. The car has not been started in a few years due to the owner’s failing health. The car will need to be gone thru and re-commissioned. It is a nicely optioned and documented survivor Sunliner. Remember that a car can be restored hundreds of times but it original only once. Collectors are appreciating original cars much more nowadays.
This car was invited to be displayed at the 2007 Meadowbrook Concours as part of their 1957 convertible grouping (50 years old) but the owner was not able to bring it. Still an honor to be invited.

Vehicle Condition – – I have personally inspected and photographed this vehicle. It is literally an unbelievable original/survivor 1957 Ford Sunliner. Full documentation along with very low mileage make this a super rare find and it celebrated it’s 50th year in 2007. Congratulations.
While Ford Sunliners are not rare cars, finding one in this original condition with only 8000 miles and being offered by the original owner is beyond rare.
I invite and encourage any interested party to inspect this classic in Sugar Grove, Illinois and determine for yourself that this car is excellent original condition. As stated above, the car will need to be sorted and recommissioned i.e. battery, drain fuel and fluids etc. Seeing is really believing in this case.
