Product Overview
Drag racers loved the '57 Ford Custom because it was a simple no-frills car that was easy to modify. Its long body and low-slung chassis made it perfect for short straight-course races. The exceptionally light 2-door model came with a 245 horsepower V-8 - more than enough power to boost the '57 to victory after victory. With racing slicks, the Custom could beat most cars of the day in straight drag.
