Vehicle Description
With a cool color combo, even cooler A/C interior, and pleasant V8
power, this 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 sedan is a distinct classic with
a ton of appeal.
The factory-correct Raven black has been given a respray later in
life, and it sets the tone right for this Fairlane. There are signs
of enjoyment that tell you it's a true cruiser, but the hint of
extra shine from the clearcoat makes it the kind of car you drive
with pride. And the reason it's easy to enjoy a '62 Fairlane is
because it's stylish. Wide chrome bumpers, a hint of tailfin,
jet-inspired tail lights, and attractive full-length trim make it
distinctive. The value price on this is there in case you want to
buy a full set of wheel covers, update the grille, or other
cosmetic improvements. But we're really talking about decorative
details. The heart of the appeal here is how you have a quite clean
and quite complete classic that was also built for easy enjoyment,
and the interior especially proves that.
The trim tag tells us this was born with a red interior, but this
takes it up a few notches by adding a tasteful white. And the soft
red velour inserts really make this wide bench seat comfy. Plus,
the door panels, dash, headliner, carpeting, and trunk are all done
in a mix of red and white for a coordinated total style. It really
nails the vintage atmosphere with the right components like the
working dome light and classic steering wheel with the Ford family
crest at the center. But what makes this especially nice are the
cruiser-ready upgrades. This has an under-dash air conditioning
unit, and this has been upgraded with power locks to lock all four
doors at once. While the factory AM radio is on display, the rear
driving music comes from an upgraded stereo in the glovebox.
There's also auxiliary readouts to let you keep a better eye on the
motor. So it's the ideal car to invite everyone on an ice cream
run.
Under the hood is a correct-style 221 cubic-inch V8. It has a clean
look and a touch of flair, but the real appeal is how this is a
hardy setup that delivers nice cruising power. And the way this one
fires up and runs really feels like this was respectfully enjoyed
and maintained for decades. Like a true classic, this wants to give
you an unfiltered feeling for the road, but features like the
automatic transmission make sure you always have the right
fundamentals for a boulevard machine.
If you like vintage style and great details, don't let this
well-priced Fairlane 500 slip away. Call today!!!
