A lot of Rancheros (57) came with Hockey sticks. Skirts I don't know about but why not? I just don't
like them on Rancheros I guess.

I used 57 Merc Turnpike Cruiser skirts on my 57 Custom 300 And it is the same rear quarters as yours. If you buy a set make sure they are the 12" high ones. Hockey sticks can not help with would go with Shopratwoods answer.

The panel between the door opening and the wheel opening is 2" longer on the Fairlane/500 series than the Custom/300, which would mean that there are two different length hockey sticks if they were available on both series.  But if you are going to terminate them at the cruiser skirts, you could just cut off the hockey sticks if they are too long.
