car nerd ◊ 2007-07-08 23:22	I was thinking that as well but I don't recall a base Fairlane ragtop.
samyuk ◊ 2007-07-08 23:36	There is a bit of a hood scoop, if I am not mistaken. From the tires and the lack of trim, I think this is a 1966 Ford Fairlane GT convertible(the GTA would be the automatic version.It comes with a 390 cu.in. engine rated at 335 bhp. A 427 was available. The hood scoops are more apparent in this picture, and note the shifter /vehicle_115349-Oldsmobile-98-1984.html THerefore this would be a Fairlane GT -- Last edit: 2007-07-08 23:43:42

The Cruise-O-Matic can be an automatic or shifted manually: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" Aside from the transmission and slightly different badges the GT and GTA are visually identical, so it is very rare for us to have proof-positive GTAs on the site.
