Description

History

The Ford Fairlane was an automobile model sold between 1955 and 1971 by the Ford Motor Company in North America. The name was taken 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 a full-size car during the 1950s but became a mid-size car in the 1960s. The mid-sized model spawned the Australian-built Fairlane in 1967, although it was considered a large car there.

Assembly: Lorain, OH

In the forty seven years it existed, Ford's Lorain Assembly Plant produced 12 different nameplates. Most of these models are very well known to Ford Motor Company's rich history.

Operations began in 1958 producing F150 trucks. While a variety of passenger car models were produced in Lorain (Fairlanes, Galaxies, Falcons, and finally Thunderbirds) the plant is most known for its light truck and van production, such as the Ford Econoline

The Lorain assembly plant closed Dec 2005, with operations transferred to Avon Lake.

Engine: 8 Cyl. 289 CID

The D-Code 289 CID 4-barrel engine could easily be the rarest engine option since it was only available briefly: from April to September of 1964. It was a 4-barrel version of the C-Code engine. It had a black, white, and red "289 Cubic Inch 4-V Premium Fuel" decal on the air cleaner lid.
