The Ford Fairlane is an automobile model that was sold between 1955 and 1970 by Ford in North America. The name is derived from Henry Ford's estate, Fair Lane, near Dearborn, Michigan.
Over time, the name referred to a number of different cars in different classes; the Fairlane was initially a full-sized car, but became a mid-sized car from the 1962 model year. The mid-sized model spawned the Australian-built Fairlane in 1967, although in that market it was considered a large car.
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.
Like the Falcon, the Fairlane had a unibody frame, but the body incorporated an unusual feature Ford dubbed torque boxes, four boxed structures in the lower body structure designed to absorb road shock by moving slightly in the vertical plane. Suspension was a conventional short-long arm independent arrangement in front, with Hotchkiss drive in the rear. The Fairlane was initially offered only in two-door or four-door sedan body styles.g
The Fairlane's standard engine was the 170 CID (2.8 L) six, but as an option, it introduced Ford's new, lightweight Windsor V8, initially with a displacement of 221 CID (3.6 L) and 145 hp (108 kW); a 260 CID (4.2 L) "Challenger" version was added at mid-year, with an advertised 164 hp (122 kW). The Sports Coupe option débuted mid-year and featured bucket seats and a small floor console. The trim level supplemented the Fairlane and Fairlane 500 trim levels (the 500 model had more decorative trim, such as a wider chrome stripe down the side and three bullets on the rear quarter panels). The Challenger 289 CID engine was introduced in mid-1963, with solid lifters and other performance pieces helping the engine produce an advertised 271 hp (202 kW); however, it was equipped with single exhaust like the less powerful engines. This engine was coded "K" in the vehicle identification number. Exterior identification was by fender-mounted "V" badges that read "289 High Performance".
The 1964 and 1965, Fairlane ranges consisted of similar body styles: base Fairlane and Fairlane 500 two-door coupes and four-door sedans, and Fairlane 500 and Sports Coupe two-door hardtops. As in 1963, the Sports Coupe got its own standard "spinner" wheel covers and extra exterior brightwork. Large "Sports Coupe" scripts graced the "C" pillars. The Fairlane Squire wagon was dropped, but the standard station wagon was continued. The 221 V8 was dropped after 1963, leaving the six as the base engine and the 260 as the base V8. The "K-code" 271-horsepower 289 V8 continued into 1964, gaining dual exhausts, while a 195 horsepower (145 kW) version of the 289 with a two-barrel carburetor and hydraulic lifters was introduced. The two-speed Fordomatic continued as the automatic transmission choice for the 260 in 1964, while 289 V8s got the three-speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission option.
Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly and most prominently in the United States and Canada, with New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Great Britain and Brazil[1] also having forms of stock car auto racing. Traditionally, races are run on oval tracks measuring approximately 0.25 to 2.66 miles (0.4 to 4.3 kilometers). The world's largest governing body for stock car racing is the American NASCAR, and its NASCAR Cup Series is the premier top level series of professional stock car racing. Top level races typically range between 200 to 600 miles (322 to 966 km) in length. The cars were originally production models (hence, "stock"), but are now highly modified.
Top level stock cars exceed 200 mph (322 km/h)[2][3][4] at speedway tracks and on superspeedway tracks such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.[5][6][6] Contemporary NASCAR-spec top level cars produce maximum power outputs of 860-900 hp[7][8] from their naturally aspirated V8 engines. In October 2007 American race car driver Russ Wicks set a speed record for stock cars in a 2007-season Dodge Charger built to NASCAR specifications by achieving a maximum speed of 244.9 mph (394.1 km/h) at Bonneville Speedway.[9][10] For the 2015 NASCAR Cup Series, power output of the competing cars ranged from 750 to 800 hp
Been watching for almost 2 yrs now and the thing that I liked the most about your builds is that it doesn't have to be absolutely perfect and that you use different techniques, paint mediums and keep reminding everyone that we should build it how we want to and that it's a hobby and it's suppose to be fun. Keep on building your way because we all love it. Rock on brother
Thanks, that's what this is about, the FUN side of models!
If folks want to go next level and detail, that's very cool too! But we shouldn't look down on anyone for the way they choose to enjoy their hobbies.
@@hpiguy I 100% agree. I just don't understand why someone would watch your videos of you building the models that belong to you and would have the nerve to criticize your work. If they don't like how you are building then they should stop watching and move on. I'll say it again, we love your videos and thoroughly enjoyed each and every second.
Just got this as a b-day gift from my wife and daughter. Itching to tear into it.
This comment applies to all of your model car build vids i've seen... This may sound wierd but the background music in your vids is actually soothing to me. I've been dealing with some things and building models helps calm my nerves. Your light,fun approach (and the music) is great.
You bet, that's why I try to pick mellow stuff. I like to sit back and relax when I watch other videos by fellow modelers myself too.
This is another winner Chris, I love the back story!! Excellent presentation as always!!
Thanks again!
Good job! I built this car when the series first came out in the early 70's! I've been out of modeling for several decades. My mother in law got me this kit and another one for Christmas. Looking forward to building again.
Thanks and welcome back!
A fine looking build Chris. Love the color choice.
Thank you!
My Grandfather had a 62 Ford Fairlane 500, when I was a kid. Four door, three on the tree, and the big straight six. White with blue interior. It has been fifty years since I was in that car. I still have the paperwork for it,and I have one picture of it. I will never forget that car, or the man that owned it.
Cool!
I love the green paint and huge tires. Great build. 🤙
Glad you like it!
Those Stock cars are so fun, you can do soooo much with them!!!
Yes they are!
I used to love these model kits as a kid. They were built great, but were cool.
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Very Nice build !! Love Love Love the old vintage short track stockers. Just a quick comment/tip.
Because short track stock cars raced mostly in the evening and many tracks had less than stellar lighting, driveshafts were required to be painted white. A small easy detail that adds a touch of realism !!!
Thanks for the tip!
I'm digging' Uncle Bub's Burgers and his #9 car - Duct Tape Numbers !!!
Thanks man!
CHRIS is keeping the dream alive , the memories of days gone by . This would be a cool Slot Car .... ! Remember during the 1960's how popular Slots were ???
I used to race 1/24 slots in the late 90s when they came back big for a bit.
Looks like another winner love the deep dish steelies the only thing missing is the dirt on the fenders and quarters.
Thanks Raphael!
Got to thank you for this one. Just finished my first”dirt” track car. For the first time I used the craft paint for mud, rust on bumpers and crackle on seat and dash etc. I had a blast. I don’t do Facebook so I can’t show you a picture. Thanks again, Chris
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome job! I love those stockers. Glad you fixed the hubs! Thanks for taking care of the details
No problem 👍
Wow, a 1965 Fairlane, such an obscure body style. Very cool.
Excellent work sir!
Many thanks!
Beautiful job like always. Love the color choices. My son and I just built 2 of these and had a great time especially the extra engine and the pad printed tires. Love it when you do all the different motor sports cars. Keep yourself, family, and friends safe and healthy. Thank you
Thanks Teddy, keep gluing!
Nice. I like using the core of carpenter pencil (graphite) to highlight worn metal look run along the edges. Smudge some for a worn grimy appearance. I do mainly military kits but this would work with cars and trucks.
Boy that tow bar brought back memories! Back in the early ‘70’s I used to see race cars being towed to Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC with tow bars, almost always crudely lettered “race car in tow” on the back of them, and a set of trailer brake lights mounted on trunk lid! Must have been a real pain to get it home if you crashed it hard!
Thanks man!
My dad had a yellow 65 fairlane 2door he took more off-road than on road it was a 289 with a automatic I miss him and it everyday
Nice story!
I'd love to see another weathered and damaged dirt track racer. I really enjoy your builds!
Noted!
My Dad took me to a lot of car races when I was growing up. I remember well when '65 Fords, Mercury's, Chevy's, etc were running at the Daytona Firecracker 400 races. This model brings back those memories. Thanks for what you do on TH-cam. You must have a great shelf just full of models!
Thanks for sharing!
sahweet , love them mod racer cars...rock onnn Chris
Robert
Thanks bud!
These are my types of kits, no need to worry about a nice paint job, and a lot of opportunities for weathering and damage!
You bet!
This would make a decent drag car too with smaller wheels up front...nice build👌👌👌👍
Nice build Chris love the old dirt track cars keep those builds coming cant wait for the next one
More to come!
It looks great! I built the Torino Modified Stocker in my teens and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the great video. Building this same model right now, and was wondering wht there were two engines with this kit, and mine has not one number, so i just figured it qas a preference...thanks again, keep up the great work, and great tips!
Last month I got the chance to RACE a 65 Fairlane. Not my car but this makes me want to build a model of it anyways!
Nice I use black craft paint on my models keep the builds coming Chris
Thnaks!
Nice shiny paint job and a 😎 color choice!!
I think so too!
You are right about the wheels though! Beautiful color. The hood pops, and, of course, first day on the track, he is sporting the local "beer and burgers" sponsor, proudly, I might add, lol! Great job!!
Right on!
Looks great. Stocker. It's been awhile since I seen one. Motor looks Fantastic..
Thanks 👍
I have the 65 malibu stocker kit i should build one day... lol.
Nice work.
Go for it!
Gotta love it. Another great build. I love modified cars set up for track racing. We used to have a nice dirt track here in Manitowoc. It was at the Manitowoc, County Fairgrounds, but the powers that be got rid of it for a Meijer store.
Thanks 👍, I like Manitowoc, been there before!
@@hpiguy Glad you liked your visit. I liked your facebook page. I wish I had the programs to make a video of my model builds, but I'll just stick to being a radio announcer.
very nice,looking forward to the track abused version
Yeah, I already have ideas!
now i have to get one or two. love it. great job
Go for it!
Great build as always that looks sweet. Great color choice. Have a great day. And stay safe.
Thanks, will do!
What a great looking build! That color is great! Well done. Thanks for another great build video

Glad you like it!
Absolutely Awesome Chris Good Eye Shortening The Axle, looks More Betterer, Beautiful Color Combinations. Thanks For Sharing n God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great kit thanks for sharing your build a friend from Canada Rob ✌
Thanks Rob!
A sharp looking build!!.. Looks all ready for the Saturday Night Dirt Track Race!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
you should build a diorama with some of you models
Nice looking build, as usual.
Glad you like it!
Nice build. Love the light detail word. Glad you’re back.
Never left!
Two full builds every week. :)
No you really didn’t leave.
You do some lovely kits and love the way you do them ----- I used to do model cars but here in UK all those kits are now seriously beyond a hobby --- double what they cost in US as we get hit with import duties and taxes 🙄 Anyway keep up the good work 👍
Cool, thanks!
Nice build thank you for sharing your friend for canada Rob thanks ✌
Thanks Rob!
@@hpiguyl joy your builds thanks for sharing your friend Rob from Canada ✌
Too cool thanks for the tip on the axles.
No problem 👍
😎 that you have a spare engine with this kit too!!
Looks good 👍🏼 I’m working on the kit right now. I’m not sure if I got a bunk kit or what, but my kit has loads of molding issues, warped parts with holes and the fitment is rough. Lots of filler and sanding. It happens I suppose 😅 65 fairlane is my first vehicle, so I had to build this kit. Shoot, maybe I’ll turn my REAL fairlane into a stocker!
Thanks!
As a child, I used to build AMT & Revelle, but I always thought AMT was cleaner, better fit, & a bit more simple. All around a cleaner kit, & thats my take on it 50 years ago.
I'll build anything!
I loved the Fairlanes, had a 62’ Fairlane myself, a 1/1 car, it was a 4dr. And 6 banger w/3 on the tree but I liked it! It was a good running little ole car! Anyways, another nice build there Chris, as usual! 👍👍🤘✌🏻
Thanks for sharing!
hpiguys Workshop - Thank you buddy!
Love these builds, you should do some early 2000s nascars that would be awesome 👌
I'd love to, but no one is issuing those kits right now and I don't like to review stuff that's not readily available to everyone. Thanks!
I would love to see them be re-issued. 🤞🏼
That was a fantastic build... thank you so much for your great informative video's.. keep up the fab reviews. it really is appreciated. kind regards Dave 😁👍.
Thanks, will do!
Fantastic job Chris another great kit.
Glad you like it!
great work as always. just a curiosity, what do you do with all the built models? must look like a museum in your house lol
Most get stores, some are given away. Thanks!
I know during the late 70’s & 80’s some short track drivers would paint their hoods flat black to stop light reflection
Great build and a fine looking car
Thanks Lance!
Hi Chris...you always do a professional job on these models, but my 2 cents here is that it's a shame they modified the tooling, to the disappointment of those of us who like to build our models showroom stock
You were saying that if you wanted to make the tires “dirt track” tires you can cross hatch the tires. I was thinking, I use a tool in my leather working that’s made for carving horse hair on leather, and because it has sic rows of small blades, it would be very easy to cross hatch the rubber. Just a thought to try and make it easier to mimic tire tread.
Nice idea!
Just a heads up, I had to drill my axle holes at the top of the oil pan instead of the area on the side of the motor as indicated in the instructions.
Another winner my friend,your an inspiration,keep going
Thanks so much!
Saturday night short track fun
Woohoo!
Thank you , just love those slicks, thanks for the tip using the drill , you always make it look soooooo ! easy , thanks again.
You are so welcome!
Looks like you can build this in more than one version.. 😎!!
Another masterpiece
Thanks for coming along for the fun!
Always a pleasure
Chris that’s one my favorite’s right there. It’s in my top 5 of the ones I’ve seen you do! Great job💯🙏🏼
I appreciate that!
nice build chris, i'd love to see this kit in the factory stock version
They do exist and are extremely rare. They were released in two different box designs. I have collected 6 new old stock kits, 3 in each box design. There are also promo models that were made in red, black, and champagne.
@@DeathReaper280 I'll see if I can find one, should be able to somewhere thanx!
@@1955mouse make sure you find the real deal, I've gotten a resin scam off of someone that said it was real
@@DeathReaper280 i will, i'll find the real ones alright.
You and me both!
Loved this build
Thanks man!
@@hpiguy your welcome cant wait for the next
Nice job
Those tires!
Thanks! 👍
That looks awesome, great color and detailing. I agree with moving the tires in a little. The next one with some damage and donuts will be great too.
Cant wait to see it, as always your builds are fantastic and great tips and ideas too. Thanks so much for all you do, its just great.
That's the plan!
Another great build. It’s just a pity the destroyed so many great annual kits to make these modified stockers. The original kit this was based on goes for ridiculous amounts of money now.
Thanks Ian!
Too much fun !!!
Thanks!
Awesome 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
These kits are fun! I lowered mine sits too high for me.
😎 custom decals too!!
Perfect build, paint job and video. I like the aftermarket decals too. Chris is there another snap fit kit on the workbenche anytime soon? Love those kits. Have a great week. 👍👍
Not that I know of soon, all depends on what they are releasing.
Love your builds
Thanks buddy!
This kit was originally an AMT 1965 annual kit and came with two engines: stock and racing. The small V-8 is the Ford small-block 289 and the big V-8 is the high-performance Ford 427 Wedge optional engine. The little 289 is kind of a bonus that they still included it in this Modified Stocker kit. public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/automotive-cars--pi/ford/1961-1970/amt-65-fairlane-hardtop/6.html
I wanna try to make this and the 69 falcon into street looking cars
Great job. Would like to see you build the '65 stock fairlane for comparison.
If they issue the kit, happy to!
i like the car
Thanks!
I'm diggin' those colors, good choices! I really like this model! 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing build as always ...I bet if you wanted to show out on a build there is no telling how detailed you could make it..#Modelmaster
Thanks Jeff!
Très belle voiture inpec 👍👌
Thanks!
Awesome
Thanks!
Nice build! Are your rust oleum paints acrylic or enamel?
Pretty.
