Vehicle Description
The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1966 Ford Fairlane 500XL. An
alluring array of handling and performance options soon slipped
into the selection sheets, though most shoppers still saw Fairlanes
as sensible family transportation. A Fairlane sedan was more
attractive than some, mannerly on the road -- but basically an
oversize Falcon. Perceptions changed for 1966 with the appearance
of the stylish 500XL. Mid-size Fords earned a new body that year,
keeping the former 116-inch wheelbase. The boxy profile was
history. Clean, freshly sculpted lines and a minimum of trim gave
Fairlanes a sleek, well-tailored look, highlighted by curved side
glass. Protruding stacked quad headlights injected a
leaping-forward attitude, with tall vertical rectangular
taillights, upswept quarter panels, and low-profile 14-inch tires
adding to the illusion of speed. Two-door hardtops displayed a
sweeping semi-fastback roofline. Topping the line, the 500XL
hardtop coupe and convertible gave occupants buckets alongside a
console, plus bucket-style rear seats. A three-speed gearbox was
standard. Options include: AM radio, Power steering, rally wheels,
vinyl interior, radial tires. To view the car in greater detail,
