Ford Fairlane - 3rd Gen (1960 to 1961)

The third generation of Ford Fairlane debuted for the 1960 model year. With the introduction of the Ford Galaxie, the Fairlane was no longer Ford's top full-size offering. Now part of the intermediate segment, the Fairlane was only offered as a two or four door sedan, with the base 'Fairlane' trim seeing primary use as a fleet vehicle, while the 'Fairlane 500' was the more common civilan variant. A 3.7L inline six engine was offered as standard alongside three V8 engine options (4.8L, 5.4L, 6.4L). Production of the third generation lasted until 1961, when the Fourth Generation Fairlane was introduced.
