    Did the Ranch Wagon get the longer frame?

    Iv'e always preferred the Custom series 57's but that Fairlane with the top down looks pretty good.

    My 58 Ranch wagon came with a 332 automatic. I’ve got a 390 4-speed to replace it. Just put some Hollywood Stingray wheels and 1” www tires on it too.


    Wanted! Olds 394 Hurst motor mount and dual point distributor

    I am a GM fan, but I always liked the ‘57 Ford Custom body. Would have enjoyed owning one. My Blue Oval buddy would have loved it!! I believe the Custom (300 ??) was a little shorter, wasn’t it?

    The Custom and the Custom 300 are both the short (114”) wheelbase models with the post. The 300 came with the gold anodized side trim, whereas the bottom of line Custom had the single stainless side spear trim. My Custom Tudor is currently for sale.....
