The Fairlane is a great choice for this week, Joe. I had a 1962 Fairlane when I was young. It was a very nice car. I don't think I have an Fairlanes on my layout but I'll post some Fords a little later after I take some new photos.
This is a photo from the net but my Fairlane looked a pretty much like this.

Great choice Joe. Love those wire wheels and whitewalls in your second snapshot! The 1950s Crown Victoria Skyliner (I think that’s its full name) has always been a favorite of mine. This mildly customized version is very similar to the one already pictured.   Unfortunately I have never been able to find a die cast model in the scale or color scheme I wanted, which would be something like this:  And while on the subject of the Fairlane, my true ideal is from a couple of years later - the retractable hardtop version. I once built a Revell plastic model of it - or tried to as the parts did not fit together very well. Someone else has better luck/skill although you can still see huge seams in the panels:  A real tribute is this beautifully restored and customized ‘59 version and at about 3 minutes in you can see the roof mechanism working as it should: |

Another wonderful choice, Joe. Got one and will photograph it on the layout this afternoon. In the meantime, here is a 58 Custom 300.  |

Quite a coincidence, a friend of mine just send me this photo of this magnificent 56 model that he is selling. Interested, just send me an e-mail.  |

My godfather had the pink crown victoria. Uncle "Flash" unfortunately rolled it with my aunt.
Car totaled, they were ok.
