Ford Fairlane 2nd Gen

1957 – 1959 — USA

The Ford Fairlane was a popular automobile model sold by Ford in North America between 1955 and 1970, named after Henry Ford's estate in Dearborn, Michigan. It went through seven generations and was offered in various body styles, including sedans, hardtops, station wagons, and convertibles. Initially positioned as the flagship of Ford's full-size range, the Fairlane introduced the Crown Victoria and 500 nameplates, which later became standalone models. Eventually, the Fairlane 500 transitioned to Ford's base models after the introduction of the Ford Galaxie, becoming equivalent to the Chevrolet Bel Air and Biscayne. In 1962, the Fairlane was rebranded as an intermediate car (now considered mid-size) until its production ended in 1970. Key points: 1.
