ABOUT THIS CAR
This looks to be a good, and original survivor example, with various paint imperfections, as can be seen from photos.
Engine reconditioned to the tune of NZD10K+ in 2017 by Engine Reconditioning Services in Christchurch at circa 66Kms (or miles) but we're assuming its kilometers, as it is NZ New, so factory RHD as well.
Car shows only 75167 kms, which looks to be original distance traveled.
Original Certificate Of Registration Available.
Runs and drives very nice - It's a solid, dependable driver and a nice cruiser.
Not often we come across one in original condition, NZ New etc.
Comfortable and spacious interior.
Cruise-O-Matic transmission provides smooth and easy shifting.
This is a great car to cruise downtown or take joyriding down a country road on a summer day.
The car will ride nicely at 45-60 mph down the highway. It handles decently, and maneuvering the car is quite smooth and easy.
The aesthetic, both interior and exterior, invoke a feeling of performance. The car's square, sleek profile and short fins, combined with the simple 3-gauge instrument cluster and pleated chrome dash panel, seem vaguely inspired by the jet aircraft of the times.
I think half the Fairlanes I remember seeing when they were still common were this color.
Finding any vintage Ford from this period is getting harder; finding one in this condition is even more challenging. As you study this car, you're probably thinking what a nice survivor - could just leave and enjoy as is?... or what a nice restoration we could have here.... could even be a rotisserie job?
