"the Red one is mine, and the 1964 is ours" Sheryl said.. . . . I had to grin when Cheryl said that, " I will write that down " I said, "what's mine is mine and what's yours is ours,"

"I know you will" she can be a bit Cheeky that Cheryl " you had better write down that it has a 289 Windsor motor, but we are looking for an original 260 motor for it, a lot of 260 motors were replaced with 289s but I would like to have the car as original as possible. I told her that I would post a message on the web-site in case somebody out there had one and then I asked " that's a V8"

"yes, and it has a three

speed auto, but the original 260

had a two speed"

Sheryl then started to tell

me about the Ford Compacts

history and I forgot to take

notes, If I recall what she told

me correctly the 62, 63, and

64 Compact Fairlanes were

Canadian models that Ford

Imported and assembled in

Australia. I did recall

Sheryl intends to replace the mag wheels with original wheels, she is going to get white wall tyres, she will re-upholster the seats, that she has accumulated a bit of literature on the compacts. . and that she knows a lot more about Ford Fairlanes than I do, So I made a note of Cheryl and Bruce's email address ; gibo@hotkey.net.au and I shall forward a few of the tricky questions that get emailed to the club web-site.

Between the Sheryl and Bruce they now on a 62, 63, and 64 compact. To my reckoning that makes a complete set !

I did own a 59 fairlane 500 for a few years and it is not hard to understand why she loves them. TUBBY

RED FRED, "THIS ONE IS MINE " says Sheryl

"THIS ONE IS OURS " says Sheryl more

1963 Ford Compact Fairlane

' RED FRED ' Owned by Bruce and Cheryl Gibson

The 1963 Ford Compact Fairlane . Sometime with joint membership, you come across a His' and 'Hers' situation. I think this is the first time I have ever come across a 'HERS' and ' OURS '. I innocently asked Cheryl where Bruce was because I wanted to get some details on the 62 Compact as I had missed the last Club outing and had

not managed to get a photo of it. Cheryl gave me a bit of a lopsided look.

"what details do you want ?" she asked, " Its not Bruce's Car. Its Mine!"

"Right" I said, "so the 'pink' one is Bruce's and the red one is yours" .

As I said 'pink' I distinctly remembered someone asking me to correct the page on the web-site, because the car was not pink. .

I distinctly remember not

doing it; not so distinct was

the correct name of the colour,

but I am a little colour blind so

I expect to get forgiven….
