Automotive History: The 1957 Ford models retained a single-headlight front end like their predecessors, but were unmistakable with their long flanks and tailfins. A plethora of trim lines was introduced, starting with the Custom, Custom 300, Fairlane, and Fairlane 500. The two Custom lines used a 116 in (2946 mm) wheelbase, while the Fairlanes had 118 in (2997 mm) between the wheels. A new car/pickup truck hybrid based on the short-wheelbase chassis was also introduced, the Ranchero. A new frame was used for the 1957 Fords. It moved to perimeter rails out, so that they would fully envelope the passengers. This body style was very successful, being the best selling car in America, overtaking arch rival Chevrolet for the first time since 1935.
