Vehicle Description
1962 Ford Fairlane
The Ford Fairlane is 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. The Fairlane 500
is noted by a wider chrome trim on the side, and 3 bullet ports on
the rear quarter panel.
This 1962 driver quality Fairlane has been restored to a useable
car. Earlier rust problems have been addressed, and the car has
been repainted. A beautiful interior of Cranberry and White Velour,
and a refurbished engine, are a few highlights presented in this
car.
Exterior
Burgundy paint covers the exterior which the consigner states
required no body work, just paint. Chrome is pitted, and some
peeling is present on handles, and brightwork. Aftermarket black
woven pattern wheels are seen all around. Front and rear grilles
are in good condition as well as headlight trim, and tail light
surrounds. A chrome band of Fairlane 500 badging at the rear roof
pillar and presents in fair condition. Original bumpers have been
painted to match exterior color. Underneath reveals a patchwork
quilt of various previous rust through repairs, but all appears to
be structurally sound. This includes a driver's side floorboard,
and trunk floor repairs. Turn signals are not present, as consigner
stated they could not be found.
Interior
Cranberry crushed velour with light cream inserts are seen in a
vertical tufted pattern on the front split bench seating, as well
as the door panels. Vinyl door pulls with fair condition chrome
window cranks and door openers. A metal center console had been
fabricated to fit in the center of the bench seat. This contains an
aftermarket radio, as well as a CD and iPod players. Consigner
states that originally the car was a radio delete car, so the
fabricated console houses the new radio. There is no antenna hooked
up, but there are working speakers throughout that allows the
driver to listen to CD or iPod music. If you want the car to go
back to original, this console can be easily removed. An
aftermarket steering wheel has been added, and the original dash
repainted. All gauges are original and in working condition. Red
loop pile carpeting covers the floor in front and rear.
Drivetrain
A 221ci V8 sits under the hood. This is the original engine that
came with the car, and it is connected to a 3-speed automatic
transmission. Consigner states that front suspension should most
likely be redone, as it is original, and would be a better handling
car with an improved front suspension and steering. Air shocks have
been installed, and ride height is seen higher than original car.
4-wheel drum brakes are from the original car but have been fitted
with new pads.
A definitely original metal panel exterior car, just repainted, and
various rust issues underneath, replaced with new steel inserts. A
beautiful interior, totally redone, surrounds the passengers with
upgraded luxury. An aftermarket stereo, which can be removed and
brought back to original radio delete car is an option for a new
owner.
