Dave Wells Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I'd take this over the Comet any day. Bigger, faster, cheaper. Checks all the boxes. Jump in and enjoy. Alternately, a good basis for a tribute police or fire department car for even more fun. Edited July 25 by Dave Wells (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivguy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I really like the round tail lamps and little fins. Cool looking old Ford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957Birdman Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 The last hurrah for the full size Ford Fairlane. In 1962 it became the new midsize Ford Fairlane. It would look better with a repainting, but probably won’t happen given the cost. An entry level car to get into the hobby.

58L-Y8 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 My father had the 1960 version of this Fairlane right down to the powertrain. That 1960 Ford had been the township patrol car, though only the top was white over the black lower. My father had the lower painted a rich emerald green which looked great with the white top. But, when I saw this '61, it reminded me so much of the '60 we had as a kid. But, being a Minnesota car, maybe it was Ole and Lena's Ford, Ja! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 A time capsule for sure; albeit a very basic one. It's hard to imagine how you could possibly go wrong for under $6K... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
