1966 Ford Fairlane XL - 1:43 Scale
For the 1955 model year the Fairlane name replaced the Crestline as Ford's premier full-sized offering . The named was derived from Henry Ford’s estate Fair Lane near Dearborn MI.
The Fairlane name was moved to Ford's new intermediate, introduced for the 1962 model year, to bridge the gap between the compact Ford Falcon and the full-sized Galaxie, making it a competitor for GM's A-body "senior compacts", the Plymouth Belvedere, and the AMC Rambler.
Fifth Generation Fairlane (66-67)
The XL, GT, and GTA packages were introduced in 66, as well as a convertible to join the existing range of sedans, hardtops, and station wagons.
🎶something else from Detroit in 66:

Nice one Frank. Back in 1966, my brother traded his black with red interior 1962 Impala convertible for one of these. His Fairlane was white with, if I remember correctly, black interior. Sharp car !

Took one of these many years ago and created a Ranchero.
