Title: trunk fitment 1957 Fairlane to 300
Post by: abe_lugo on 2021-02-02 20:14
are the trunks all the same 2dr, 4 dr, Fairlane or 300?  Obviously not retractables.

Nope they are not, I learned something new today!

Fairlanes are overall about 4"(3?) longer than Customs, and all of it is in the trunk area, so stands to reason the lids would be different.
As far as 2dr vs 4dr or hardtop vs sedan.......I don't know.

Custom 2 and 4 door trunk lids are the same as well as the roof and back glass.

Thanks for adding info to this, the wheelbase is different between Customs and Fairlane, this the length in the qtr panels and trunk as mentioned above.  Great info for anyone with this dilemma.
