1967 was the first year for a Fairlane Convertible. Although
popular on their own, XL and GT editions amounted to one-fifth of
total Fairlane output. One of the nicest we have seen is in our
showroom at Skyway Classics.
The Ford Fairlane was an automobile model that was sold between
1955 and 1970 by Ford in North America. The name is derived from
Henry Ford's estate, Fair Lane, near Dearborn, Michigan.
Over time, the name referred to a number of different cars in
different classes; the Fairlane was initially a full-sized car, but
became a mid-sized car from the 1962 model year.
The Fairlane was revised in 1966. The appearance was changed to
match the full-sized Ford, which had been restyled in the 1965
model year. The front end featured vertically stacked dual
headlights. The XL, GT, and GTA packages were introduced, as well
as a convertible in 1967 to join the existing range of sedans,
hardtops, and station wagons.
Minor trim changes were introduced for 1967 as the Fairlane was
mildly facelifted. The 289 CID small-block became the base V8, with
a 200 CID six standard, with the 390 CID optional (with either two-
or four-barrel carburetor, at 275 and 320 bhp, respectively. The
427s were still available, either with a single four-barrel
carburetor or dual quad carbs, developing 410 (W-code) and 425 bhp
(R-code), 427s were available on XL models, but very few were
built.
The notable addition for the 1967 model year was a Ranchero pickup
as part of the Fairlane range (from 1960 to 1965, the Ranchero was
based on the Falcon, while in 1966 it used the Fairlane platform
but Falcon styling). The 1967 Fairlanes also included a number of
federal government-mandated safety features, including a new
energy-absorbing steering column with a large padded steering wheel
hub, soft interior trim, four-way hazard flashers, a dual-chamber
braking system, and shoulder belt anchors. The convertible had a
tempered safety glass rear window.
Two different two-door coupe models were offered. The lower-end
Fairlane Club Coupe had pillars around the rear windows, while the
higher trim level was a pillarless two-door hardtop, similar to the
convertible.
The front grille was a single aluminum stamping instead of the two
grilles from 1966. The taillights were divided horizontally by the
back-up light. The previous year, they had been vertical.
A step up from the base Fairlane was the Fairlane 500. It came
equipped all the Fairlane trim plus special Fairlane 500 moldings
and trim, color-keyed carpet and a choice of four nylon and vinyl
upholsteries. The Fairlane 500 also had a stamped aluminum lower
bodyside molding and another aluminum stamping with the Ford name
located on the vertical section of the trunk lid.
Top of the line was the Fairlane 500XL Series advertised by Ford as
the sporty version. This is the version we have on hand at
Skyway.
The Fairlane 500XL had all the features of the 500, plus special
name plagues and exterior trim, Deluxe wheel covers, bucket seats
and console, red safety lights and white courtesy lights in the
lower interior door panels. Six-cylinder cars could be purchased as
a convertible or a hardtop coupe. V8-powered cars could be
purchased as a hardtop coupe, convertible, GT Coupe, and GT
Convertible. GT models came equipped with the 289 CID V8 engine
rated at 200 horsepower. For the other cars, this was a $106
option. A two- and four-barrel 390 CID V8 was available. The
convertible had a tempered safety glass rear window.
This sporty 1967 Fairlane XL Convertible gives you a great top-down
ride, with V8 power and great looks from all who see her. If you
want to ride around to car shows with the top down, this is one for
you.
Come see it at Skyway Classics.
