John, would you add a photo of the 1964 Fairlane 500? My father had one, which I sometimes drove. I am curious how close the Trax model looks compared to my father’s car.

@ed-davisΒ  The thing with Trax models is they are announced well in advance of production and availability and one has to order during the announcement window as they are otherwise often unavailable.Β

Thanks for photos. My father had a two door Fairlane. It’s color was a metallic beige. I remember it had a 289 engine, but it may not have been the base 289, since it required premium gas. Unfortunately, I do not have any good photos of the car.
