Rather it was targeted for the Lincoln Continental revival scheduled for 1956. The lid necessary to cover a whole car top was massive and complex and the front section of the top had to be hinged to fit in what would ordinarily be luggage space. Still it worked and created a spectacle every time it went up or down.The Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner is a full-size two-door automobile with a retractable hardtop which was produced by Ford in the United States for the model years 1957 1958 and 1959.
