Ford Fairlane thread, anyone?

my 57, not sure if its a mild custom, sorta custom, stock...
292, 3 speed on the column.

 

My newest project

 

Here's my best friend/neighbors 63 I helped get going but now its sitting again...

 

Here's a 64 I got almost a year ago and tried to save it but it was MAJORLY rusty so I sent it down the road

 

My -58

 

Very nice BFXJason ... keep it rolling.

 

Thanks! My Grandfather bought a red '65 when they were new. His car is long gone, but I built this in his memory. Not sure if he would run wheelie bars, but I'd like to think it would make him smile- hehe. The car is sitting right now while I work on the wife's '40 Ford, but it's not going anywhere!

 

BFX...Enjoyed seeing your Fairlane at the last WFC.Glad you still have it.

 

Thanks! Boy...that brings back some memories! I have three cars that will be with me 'til I'm gone...my '64 Galaxie (first car), the '65, and my dad's '64 Falcon. I'm sentimental that way .

Maybe one day I'll talk the wife into driving the '65...for now she's good with the John Deere...hehehe

 

To much time on the John Deere will bring her and the car right to the weeds.Consider it safety parked.

I dig the daisy wheels as that is what I want for my Ranchero. However not often you see them on Fords.

 

My '61 Fairlane 390-401.

 

Seeing this Fairlane thread brings back the memories of buying a nice Black 63 with a red panel
Fairlane in 1989. I bought it for parts since a hurricane Named Hugo dropped a big tree on the
roof totally destroying it. I bought it for the 8 inch rear end to use in a hot rod I was building. The man that Pulled it from under was going to get the remains. I took the rear end out & the
side moulding was so good that I took it also, thinking it would look nice on a custom. That brings us to today when I remembered that moulding in the attic of my garage. Still there, unused & dusty after 30 long years. They never made it to a custom car or back on a 63 Fairlane. They are still straight ,divided into to a right & left with a crispy length of masking
tape. I think I will wipe them off & see if I can find them a real home & purpose of my keeping
them so long. After I take a picture you may see them on the Hamb or FORD BARN in the
near future. Was kinda loss but not forgotten . Jerry Drye from N.C.

 

Thanks for the compliments Elcohaulic! We just won an AACA National 1st. Junior at the Hershey makeup show in Gettysburg with it. The car came from Texas and the frame is in great shape. It is my tribute to the Optional Super Stock class ran in 1961.

 

Long gone now, but this was my daily in the early 2000s. The "Shrimp Boat" was even in a deleted scene of BIG FISH (shown on set)

 

This Fairlane thread popped up so I thought I would put the 62 in.

 

Happy Christmas,here’s another one i brought this year,was a one lady owner California car,no rust at all,genuine survivor car,now my sisters runabout, seems a shame to paint it but she wants a colour change!!

 

Here is the 63 I posted above, I put a 289 and a T10 4speed into it..drove for a little then traded for this 57 Fairlane which I got on the road this summer.

 

I don't keer if you did triple post it!!!!!
I enjoyed every picture!! Always wanted one like that!!
