For those Ford Barners that collect model cars, Dinky Toys of England made this 1961 Ford Fairlane many years ago. While it is a two door sedan, I think that it was modelled from a four door model, judging by the length of the front doors. It would appear that the model maker simply deleted the outline of the rear door to achieve a two door of this model. Other than that, it is quite a nice model of an unusual car. It is also available as a Police Car. Dinky numbered all their Police Cars 258, so it is obvious that the wrong Box is pictured under the 61 Ford Police Car. |

Re: 1961 Fords - Where have they all gone?
Found this picture of this weathered 1961 Ford Galaxie 2 door hardtop. I like the styling of the 61 Fords. Just a pity that there are not more of them around? |

Re: 1961 Fords - Where have they all gone?
The smaller of the two looks more like a 1990 model.

Re: 1961 Fords - Where have they all gone?
I agree with “Merchman from oz” that their aren’t many 61 Fords around, they are a favorite of mine too. But because they are scarce, whenever one does show up somewhere they always draw an admiring crowd. It’s always the first car I go look at.
