I also agree that it is a Fairlane in that it does not have the chrome stone guard behind the rear wheel. Four doors were called Town Sedans. |

I would think being a taxicab, it would've only been a low end model like the Custom or Custom 300-500. |

I just found out this fascinating info: 1960 Custom 300 was an option for Ford Fairlane Club and Town Sedans. This option actually provided a credit of 33 dollars to the purchaser for the deletion of certain standard features. Read on here: http://www.lovefords.org/60ford/custom300/default.htm and here (reproduction of actual dealer invoice for purchase of law enforcement vehicles in South Dakota): http://www.lovefords.org/60ford/custom300/src.htm These links contain info that the body code changed to 58F for the Fairlane Town Sedans when the Custom 300 option was chosen. I'm sure you will come to a consensus on how IMCDB should list the car's identification. Also, "Fordor" and "Town Sedan" are often used interchangeably, but "Fordor" is listed on the lovefords.org 1960 production figures page. -- Last edit: 2008-01-31 20:47:53 |

I read that article too. Guess that mean it's a Fairlane either way. |

I agree that this is a 1960 Fairlane. You wouldn't think the Fairlane would be the base trim level but in 1960 it was. If this car were anything but a base Fairlane it would have one of several chrome trim variants below the belt line on the side and the hood would have a crest instead of the spelled out F O R D. |

The only exterior way to tell a Fairlane from a Custom 300 is that the Custom 300 option deleted the F-O-R-D letters on the hood and trunk. The trunk lock used the same lock found on the '60 Edsel and Meteor. This car has the F-O-R-D letters and is a Fairlane. |
