The sporty Ford Fairlane |
1963 Ford Fairlane
Much remained the same for the Fairlane in 1963, although minor changes were made on the chrome trim. More exciting was the introduction of the 289 V8 engine, a bored out version of the 260. The 289 was rated at up to 271 hp in optional "High Performance" trim. The addition of the two-door hardtop models added a sporty touch to the conservative Fairlane lineup. They were the Fairlane 500 two-door hardtop and the Fairlane 500 Sport Coupe.1963 Ford Fairlane Production and Specifications
