Walking into a dealership in the 50s was quite the occasion, you had choices on choices to choose from. Automotive manufacturers were ready to satisfy the growth in demand for cars post World War 2 and when it came to luxury, American car manufacturers like Ford showcased their potential with cars like the Ford Fairlane, the Fairlane was named after Henry Ford's Dearborn estate in Michigan and was the flagship of the full size Ford range at the time. Amongst it's iconic feats the Fairlane gave birth to the iconic Crown Victoria marque which would eventually become a standalone product from Ford. Looking for a 50s car but can't figure out what you want to drive home in?
