Ford Fairlane thread, anyone?

This car is sic! I love it!

 

Awesome lookin' wagon........... cool thread.

 

Dad's last ride, during construction and as he left it:

.
Lumpity cammed 351W made it to the very roughed in, mock-up phase. It was backed by a somewhat rare E100 van 4-speed w/ OD. The '58-59 steering box (with Borgeson joint) helped to clear the modified 5.0 Mustang unequal length shorty headers (copped from my stash . Master cylinder is an unknown aluminum 2 chamber unit that readied it for a front disc conversion. He tried a 460 swap initially but couldn't get it to sit very comfortably:

.
Car now lives in Silver Springs, FL. Was purchased by my Dad's childhood good friend (also my Godparents) after his passing. It has been finished there in a drop dead blue and white pearl tutone with the original hubcaps, red steelies and wide whites. Will post "after" pics when I get them scanned. I'd love to be able to visit it one day soon...

 

Here's mine.... well it's not mine yet, I'm negotiating with my dad for it now, but I am fairly certain that a trade for my 65 2 door wagon plus some cash will get it done.

 

Yeah, make that trade happen, that's a great looking car, not sure about rust, but the panels look great.

 

1961 fairlane coupe driver ... needs a new home ..

My old 428 powered '66!!!!

 

Here is my 65 fairlane 500 wagon. Has a forged 306, gt40x heads, trickflow stage two cam, 650 claw carb with a AOD trans. Getting bagged and disc brakes now. And my new liscense plates came! LOL.

I don't think the OP had '50s Fairlanes in mind, but here's my '56:

 

That 56 is super nice! Great job! Love the color.

 

Correction my friend... All Fairlanes are what I had in mind. They're all cool ass hell!
BTW... that baby is sweeeeeet!

 

Here's my '56 Ford Fairlane oval track racer. Has a FE and a quick/change rear. 80% of the floorboards are stock.

 

50fraud, very nice! May I ask what color that is?

 

Sure. It's a Nissan Altima color from a few years ago; it's called "Mystic Emerald".

 

Here's my baby....

 

4 words come to mind: simple, elegant, beautiful, and Damn!

 

Wowwiee wow wow, that is one beautiful car.

 

Sweet - reminds me of my first car, a lime gold '68 Fairlane with a 302-2V, black vinyl roof, and parchment interior. It was a Grandma special but I loved that car. Took care of the body rust but the frame decided to turn to iron oxide so away the Beast went. Someday I'll get another when I have the room to play around with one - still have the grille, dashboard, and a good amount of the trim somewhere.

Added Cragars and skinny whites.

 

Lookin' good Blades, I just got some new wheels for my '62 also, gotta get 'em powdercoated and then get them mounted, I'm so ready to get these 80's aluminum things off of it.
