On "My Car Story" we're at the Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis WI on 2-22-18 at the World of Wheels car show.
We're looking at a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500XL in Vintage Burgundy Paint.
The car's Owner is Linda Romans. Today her husband Tom is cleaning the car will share details as his wife arrives tomorrow to the show. Linda’s had the car since 2001. Tom has mechanical skills and he shares his wife knew exactly the year, model, and make of the car she wanted. After hearing the car run, this car will make most men nervous driving a car with this kind of power.
ENJOY!

It's like a jewel. Tell Tom thank you for raising the bar impossibly high for the rest of us schlumps.
Well said "It's like a jewel" :-)
I really love maintaining the original look as much as possible. Love the old school tires too.
Hi Kitty Corner, I like when they look like they came from the factory too, Lou
Another great one, Lou! If I were fortunate enough to own & build such a fabulous car, I'm sure my wife would claim it, too!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Funny you should say that, as I JUST had my wife watch this one and she loves Tom's story but shared she would like a new car :-) Lou
Looks like the engine is the high riser which is what they put in the Thunderbolts. Interior is still a work in progress but in some way all of our rides are never quite "done". Thats what makes scouring the flea markets so much fun.

Great car, great story. Tom is indeed fortunate to have such a sporty wife. Thought for sure it was going to have an AT, then I such the clutch pedal followed by the Hurst shifter. Way to go Linda!

Beautiful color, nice sharp looking lines. Very classy pretty Fairlane! Not an angle I saw that I didn't love on this! Great story... a relationship that not only endures but gets stronger over time and trial! Gotta love it and I do! Terrific! Thank you

Wow! Another awesome video, Lou. Awesome looking Fairlane 500XL.
Hi Jason Carpp, High praise :-) Glad you "Wow!" on this one, Lou
I've always loved the Fairlane from 1964 to 1968. Nice cars. :)
Lou I’m happy Tom’s health is better and he has a great car! Like the color, wheels everything on this car is awesome!
Hi Joseph, Agreed. Happy too that Tom is enjoying his great car :-) Lou
An awesome 427 engine 4 speed Fairlane. Great, John

Glad you like it, and you're welcome.
Nice Fairlane …I had a 66 same color …289 …three on the tree..nothing like this beauty but it was a great car.
Hi Ronald, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I've always loved how ford always put their distributor in the front instead of the back near the fire wall.
Hi John, That's a good idea as it makes it easy to get to. Lou
Love it
Glad you "Love it" :-) Lou
I remember this model Fairlane very well , I sat in one in a Ford dealership showroom as my father was filling out the order for his four door burgundy 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 , that burgundy was a very popular Ford color from 1963 into the 60's , my fathers 1963 Ford Galaxie four door 500 was also ordered in burgundy.
Ahhh, good memories for sure :-)
Since my father had only driven Fords during the 1960's I was totally into them and had always gone down to the Ford dealerships with him and was actually able to sit inside the T-Birds and the Fairlane's the Mustangs and Galaxie's and i will always remember that wonderful new car smell that i don't experience when sitting in automobile showrooms of today. I loved collecting the promotional model cars that Ford Motor company would sell to customers , now they are worth a fortune.
Do you still have them.
I still have one , my aqua colored 1963 Ford Galaxie XL two door hard top .
That 427 engine is clean!
Just makes you smile when the hood opens :-)
Beautiful 😉😉😉
Glad you enjoy the looks of this one Robert Wright :-) Lou
Actually the Fairlane GT was at the top of the Fairlane line. It competed against the Chevelle Malibu SS 396. The Fairlane's interior was much more luxurious. The Fairlane GT in 66 only had the 390 V8 as std equipment.
Hi Larry Hawkins, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Wow. The most sought after Galaxy 500. Nice car. Family Hotrod. Lol. Jay Leno talked his dad into getting one of these.
We have a Hot Rod Momma driving this one for sure :-)
Not a gal 500- it’s a fairlane- both can be xl-
Eagle Whitefeather01 actually, Fairlane more desirable & rarer...........
Nice car and I hear ya I had prostate treatment also good luck buddy
Hi Paul T McNulty, Glad you enjoy the car and praying for your continued good health, Lou
Sweet ride. Jay Leno has one, but it's the 7 litre.
20alphabet:Jay Leno's Ford Galaxy has the similar engine. 7 litres is 427 cubic inches of V8 power!

Yes, like this one. 👍🏼😃
You should be interviewing the wife, very nice car
If she was there I would for sure.
Interestingly, FORD May have produced some 200 plus of these 427ci(R code); though not really for Road Use...Thanks Tom & Lou; just about my personal Health story with Lung/ Colorectal Surgeries and moving to Montana ( we have been Married 50 years May 3,2019)..Fortunately my Wife likes our 2007 GMC CANYON 2Dr/Two Wheel Drive pick up AND 2015 Dodge Journey Front Wheel Drive (sort of loaded options both Vehicles)........good car.....
Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.
That's a nice one' better hold on To her !
I mean the wife not the car. You can always get a fairlane! 😆
Hi Mark, N I C E :-) Lou
I would have rather had the all original car. This is almost a resto mod which I can't stand being the guy I am. But congrats to Tom for beating the cancer.
Hi Bob Bob, I like the originals too, as it takes you back to the time period of the car, however this was too good a story to pass up :-) Thank you for viewing and commenting, Lou
That stroker 427 sounds pretty nasty. Alot of cam in that engine. I like the fuel injection that looks like dual quads
Hi Jeremy Thompson, Agreed, this car sounds nice :-) Lou
You don’t see these cars every day at car shows the Ford passenger cars or more rare compared to the GM ones for some odd reason big for guy here as you know
