Here's an outstanding example of mid-'60s rolling automotive
Americana. You may see a station wagon still on the road from time
to time, but chances are slim that it's looking as good and running
as strong as this 1965 Ford Fairlane Ranch Wagon. It was refreshed
in its original Wimbledon White not long ago, and its brightwork is
in great shape. Take a lap around and you'll see a consistent
shine, with no glaring dings or dents to detract from its curb
appeal. Despite more than 60 years of service, this wagon features
nice, even panel gaps all the way around, and a quartet of fresh
headlights adds even more to this vintage Ford's already
considerable vitality.
Inside, two rows of bench seating provide plenty of room for
passengers and feature gray vinyl upholstery that still looks
well-fitted and clean. This interior also has a level of
functionality you'll appreciate if you intend on frequent driving.
The heater, emergency brake, and lights all work as intended, and
the windows throughout the cabin roll up and down without issue.
There are also a few well-chosen add-ons that create a nice, custom
appearance, including a compact center console that blends well
with its surroundings and houses an AM/FM stereo with a USB port
and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a trio of Sunpro gauges that
sit just above it. The added blue LED lighting serves as an
additional reminder that this interior has received some
aftermarket attention.
Raise the hood and you'll see a nice, clean engine bay. At its
center, a 289 cubic-inch V8 stands by, ready to roll. It pairs with
a 3-speed C4 automatic transmission to make up a period-correct
drivetrain. Both the Ford 289 and C4 are known to be reliable, and
fittingly, they're in good form here, providing prompt starts,
smooth acceleration, and slip-free shifting. With a rebuilt
suspension up front and air shocks added to the mix in back, this
Ford classic offers a smooth ride, while power disc brakes at both
ends provide reliable, fade-resistant stops as this rarely seen
ride cruises on a set of 15" Ion alloy wheels
