Ford Fairlane thread, anyone?

Not only is it boss, it's also a 4 door! NICE!

 

Anyone running an A.O.D.? Looking to put a roller 302 and AOD in mine. Hows the clearance in the trans tunnel?

 

Really? all these Fairlanes and nobody with an A.O.D?

 

I have a AOD in my 64, There is plenty of room, But, I dont have long tube headers or a shatterproof bellhousing. Just a standard AOD with a B+M rachet shifter(cable driven).

 

HEY FELLA'S, Trying to start a group JUST FAIRLANES. Lets get this thing going, Post some pics and talk about your trials in builds.... Thanks Jeff

 

I have a bunch of parts especially trim pieces from a 57 fairlane 300 if anyone is interested. I have a classified post or pm me if you have any questions.

 

I'm in. I'll keep an eye out for it and post some pics.

 

Bought a 63 four door several months ago. Home remodel and work has kept it in the garage since.
After reading this thread (every post!) I was inspired to get onto my project, Thanks to all of you!
Like I said....shes a 63 4 dr, 289/c4 combo. Lowered and shaved but with a large amount of rust. I'll be tackling the floors tommorow and the rear quarters as soon as I can find some.
As soon as I figure it out, I'll post some pics.
Thanks again to all

 

Nice 63! Its in my driveway down here in Delaware now. Just started the resto on it!

 

love that green!!!

 

I have just yesterday, picked up a 1957 ford fairlane hard top convertable that has been in a garage since 1973 ( i was 1 when it was parked.i will post pics tomorrow ) Does anyone know where i can get a roof switch for this car mine is broken.

 

My 67 after a little work.

 

My '63 in 1976 or so, back when it was still Grandpa's car. Snapshot was a Christmas present from my sister, thanks sis. Wish I had this one back.

 

Hello,Our weather has been great in missouri this last week so I got the ranch wagon out for a drive on the last day of the year and today the first day of the new year. Saturday I drove my Fairlane back home for a photo opp at the old building were it was bought new from LEADBELT MOTORS in Desloge MISSOURI the town I grew up in. The son in law of the man who bought it new tells me it was the last car they sold before closing in 1964. Not sure about that but the old building is still standing just the big glass windows are gone. The pole behind the highway signs without a sign hanging from it had a ford parts sign on it at one time.
A good friends dad had that sign after all this time and gave it to me have, he said it needed to be with the car. See I said a good friend.

 

Here is my dads old Fairlane

 

I am trying to get a group going JUST FAIRLANES, Post your pics and lets shoot the shit.... Thanks Jeff

 

glad to see a few 58,s he,s a picture of mine to keep it going i,ve had this since 1988

 

I used to have a '62 just like that!

 

Been working on this one for awhile, bought her about 8 years ago, started the bodywork in tech. school in 2006, and just FINALLY got some paint on it. been a long road, but worth it. She's sitting at my uncle's shop now, waiting for final cut and buff. As you can see the bottom half is scuffed, while the top just needs mirror glaze.

Shaved everything except the belt line stainless, and the stainless around the windows is going back on too. Haven't decided if I want to put the drip rail trim back on, got a set off a parts car but it looks kinda neat the way it is. The shaved trim at the roofline is probably my favorite, I think it really helps clean that area up.

Been wanting to post this one here for a LONG time!



Edit: Sorry if the pic is kinda big, didn't realize that, not sure how to fix it but I can do it if it's a problem.

 

Post the link to your group so we can join

Bumpin for the sake of the enjoyment this thread has brought me

 

Man! This 56 is damn near perfection! I had a 66 bird and love those interiors. Great choice.
I'm wondering now how that back seat would fit in the Starliner...

 

I've been a Chevy guy all my life, but I always liked the jet-age lines and raked back windshield of the '64 Fairlane HT, so recently I picked up my latest car to build entirely to drive and have fun with. It's a '64 Fairlane 500 hardtop in Rangoon red on red with a 289 4V/C4 and 3.25:1 8" one leg rear.

 

Is this that one w/ the horizontal antennas on the roof? if so i loooove'em.

 

Sweet, from a Chevy guy too. Always loved the '64s.
I'd polish the wheels and just drive that sucker as is!

 

I've had my 63 for 21 years, only seems like yesterday when I dragged him home.

 

Heres my "63" , unbeleivable shape for N/W ohio car.. Its in the body shop now , going triple black......

 

Trying to get this 62 back on the road for my son. Was his driver during high school but has been sitting for over 20 years. Built a .040 over 302 with mild cam, Holley on a factory aluminum intake and an AOD for it. About time for paint. Looking for bumpers and the stainless strip that goes across the back of the trunk lid in case anybody has a spare.
