Friendship Day, May 2006
A place for 1960 Ford fullsize lovers to unite. Edsels too. The 1960 fullsize Ford was a brand new platform based on the Quicksilver concept car and originally destined to become an Edsel. The new car left the 1959 Fairlane squarely in the previous decade. 6" wider and longer than its predecessor, with bold horizontal fins and an overall profile that is more similar to a Buick of the era than to a Ford. The 1960 Mercury is not a fit for the group and belongs with the Australian 1960 Ford, as both are 1959 Fords. The car was available in a number of trims and body styles: Tudor and Fordor sedans (2 and 4 doors respectively). These have posts. Galaxie "squarebird" Hardtops in 4 doors only Starliner fastback hardtops in 2 doors only Convertibles in 2 doors only Station wagons in 2 and 4 door models Amongst the technological improvements: Larger hood and engine bay for modern big blocks. Improved, though still primitive and rudimentary, fuse block. Electric windshield wipers (optional) The end of the wraparound windshield "dogleg" of the 50's. Cowl based vent system replaced time honored "tubes to the grille" vents of the previous era. The cars were reported to be poor sellers, with brand new models sitting on the lot for years. Compared to the 1959 Fords that outsold every other make on the market.
