Steve Hagy Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi, This time the ride for the chief of the Bartlett & Countryside F.D. is this 1970s vintage Ford. This is noted as being an "EVF." There is an emblem in script behind the rear passenger window that I think says Fairlane. Is this a Fairlane? Does EVF stand for anything? And of course, I would like to know the year of the vehicle. Looking forward to everyone's input! Take care, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragtop4two Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm guessing 1973 Ford Galaxie 500. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The EV might be for "Electric Vehicle." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I lean toward "Emergency Vehicle - Fire Dept." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yes a 1973 Ford full size. The cheap, cheap version! No bumper guards or rub strips, no chrome trim around the parking lights. I am surprised that it is wearing full wheel covers. It is pillared four-door hardtop, because they dropped the full sedan style in 1972. I would have to consult the brochures but it is certainly a Galaxie 500 and might even be a Custom 500. During the years '70-76 the focus was on the cars wearing the LTD name (including LTD Brougham) and the Galaxie and Custom names were constantly being slimmed down as to the number of body styles that wore them. (two-door, four-door wagon etc) until only the "LTD" name remained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
