The 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 is a true classic, offering a variety of body styles, from the rugged Rancharo to the breezy convertible. If you’re feeling fancy, go for the pillar-less two-door hardtop, a doppelgänger of the convertible. Under the hood, choose from the standard K code 289, a modest six-cylinder, or unleash the beast with the 390 CID FE V8. Mid-year thrill-seekers could even opt for the R-code 427 with a four-speed manual. Check out these beauties, courtesy of Gateway Classic Cars!
The Dodge Charger burst onto the scene in 1966, a sleek, fastback beauty that made its Coronet cousin look like the introverted sibling at a car family reunion. Luxuriously priced at $3,100, it was like a Marlin with a snazzier hat. Boasting hidden headlights and a taillight grin, it packed options from a 318-cubic-inch engine to the roaring 426 Hemi. In 1967, the Charger donned fender signals and a vinyl roof, but sales took a nosedive—guess not everyone wanted a car that could double as a disco.

It’s the perfect blend of old-school cool and modern convenience!
