Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1963 Ford Fairlane 500. The
Fairlane name was moved to Ford's new intermediate, introduced for
the 1962 model year, to bridge the gap between the compact Ford
Falcon and the full-sized Galaxie, making it a competitor for GM's
A-body "senior compacts", the Dodge Custom 880, and the AMC
Rambler. Like the Falcon, the Fairlane had a unibody frame, but the
body incorporated an unusual feature Ford dubbed torque boxes, four
boxed structures in the lower body structure designed to absorb
road shock by moving slightly in the vertical plane. Suspension was
a conventional short-long arm independent arrangement in front,
with Hotchkiss drive in the rear. The Fairlane was initially
offered only in two-door or four-door sedan body styles. The
Fairlane's standard engine was the 170 CID 2.8 L six, which is in
this particular vehicle in our showroom. The trim level of Fairlane
500 model had more decorative trim, such as a wider chrome stripe
down the side and three bullets on the rear quarter panels. This
black beauty has a great curb appeal with the wide walls and red
interior. This is great daily driver, weekend getaway car, or show
winner. Options include: Bias ply tires, hub cabs, seat belts,
AM/FM radio, vinyl interior, white wall tires. To view the car in
