    Naw, optical illusion. That's just how long those rear decks really were.

    If it does, the Ford dealer's not there. The Google Street View shows the current building set far back from the street.

    That, and the 61 Fairlanes had a narrow C-pillar but a big wraparound rear window. The rear window is washed out and not visible in the photo which makes the rear deck look longer than it is.

    I'm trying to figure out if that's a 59-61 Austin Healey Sprite or a Triumph next to it. Looks like my 1960 Sprite. It would fit in the trunk of the Fairlane.

    I couldn't help but chuckle a little over the "Gray & Bland Body Shop" sign in the background of this black & white photo. :rofl:
