Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
just awful peoples lives altered for ever lives lost cats and dogs too. As far as the pictures we all like to see; all I can say out of high school I worked at Raytheon a major player
with the space project that happened in 1969. We built all consuls the one with the "red button" - launch. We had no laptops no Pc's we did have the monster Uni vac we had rotary phones and phone booths. OK, I only try to say it is now 2018. Not long ago it was no problem postings pics. Now I can not on any forum insert a pic. It was so easy as long as your pictures are in a folder. question is why? some geek always stickin a monkey wrench in there. Only thing I think of is, they are getting rid of us old people. If you own a business remember, Nextel; push to talk? Ya own a two way radio oh, that was too easy. What do ya do ---I gave up.. soup cans with a string worked for me!! thats gone. |

You might want to see how much the insurance company wants for you to buy it back - a lot of good parts to sell.

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
Sorry to hear about your loss. It looked to be a great car. Glad that you were able to replace it with a more upmarket model. Lots of great salvageable parts on this wreck. |

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
Thank you. Yep, I always thought it was beautiful too. Broke my heart to see it under the crushed garage. The tires still held air! The engine was untouched. I wanted so badly to try to restore it; but, the effort and cost were too great. Sadly, I had to let it go, but, not w/o a fight of all possibilities to get 'er fixed. It just wasn't in the cards.
Thanks for your interest. |

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
You are correct, there are lots of great salvageable parts on the wreck. Someone is going to buy it at a salvage auction, and make money on it. Sadly, it won't be me.

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
You may have shot yourself in the foot by giving them the title up front. The car is now theirs. Hopefully everything will work out okay.

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
Too bad. The car needs a complete body shell, a roof or a full clip wouldn't help. Both doors, a trunk lid and a front fender. The left frame rail may be bent, it appears to have a pretty good droop. So many pieces of trim needed could be a real problem. Then interior, dash, window reveal mouldings, and glass. A nice car left as a parts car. Maybe 2-3 grand salvage...IMHO.

Put it behind you, take some time to heal and find another car.

Re: Pic of my smashed 56 Fairlane Club Sedan
For me, its hard to give up a car. My current daily driver is one I bought new 20 years ago. I tend to keep my daily drivers at least 10 years. This Ford Fairlane Club Sedan is one I've had for 35 years. If it were up to me, I would have kept it till they carted me off to the old folks home someday in the very distant future. Even as smashed as it is, I tried to hang on to it and get 'er fixed. But, realistically, I know the time and effort involved is just too steep to climb anymore, so, I am trying to put it behind me, and I've found another car to take its place: a '56 Victoria, same color scheme and mostly same features. It is due to be delivered next week sometime.
