It was 25 years ago when Tom first met David Sosbee and they haven’t spoken since. What better way to reunite but over David’s most prized possession, …

There is no Ford that has a more stately, solid looking front end than a 65 Fairlane. I hope that a few resto-mods are made that can upgrade it to its potential as a top quality car.
Great video. You always say happy barn find. My friend just told me a story about his friend that "found" a barn find it was a mid 50's t=bird. Over time he has found it more then he bargained for because mice even lived inside the engine and all through out the interior. I guess over time an a large amount of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ it will turn out okay.
Without a doubt my absolute favorite show I've seen. I'll tell you a true story. Lloyd Seay is my grandfather's cousin. Both born in 1919. We still own all of the family property in Ellijay Georgia. Lloyd Seay was shot and killed just a couple of hours after winning in North Carolina by my grandfather's and Lloyd's other cousin Woodrow Anderson. Everyone knows it was over sugar that Lloyd had bought using Woodrow's Credit. What isn't known is how much. Well it was for $2.00. I'm honored that Bill France Sr. Regarded Lloyd Seay as the greatest stock car driver who ever lived. Don't know what it is but engine rund through my entire family's blood. Btw I'm a bit of a Ford man myself. Lloyd Seay was laid to rest in Dawsonville Georgia.
What a great story ,it really deserves you going back & just sitting down talking over the history the family was involved in before it is lost forever.
Thanks for the history lesson, these old Fords remind me of growing up. Dad always had fords, his favorite ‘69 LTD 429 interceptor. Green on green. He’d love a ride in my F150 3.5 tt ruby red. Wish he was here.
God Bless these old timers and their stories are what legends and America are made of. I remember listening to the MOTOR RACING NETWORK's BARNEY HALL announce the early races when GOBER was still racing in the early and mid 1960's. There was no television coverage then just the MRN on the radio every Sunday. I still get goose bumps remembering how exiting the races were listening on my little radio as a teenager in Florida. My cousin lived in Charlotte in the mid 60's and one summer I visited him and we went to the HOLMAN AND MOODY shop on a Sunday afternoon and I remember seeing David Pearsons Fairlane on a transporter thru the fence.
Criminal,,, using a ph in a car. Dont you know you could be killed doing that. Even when stationary! Public enemy No1! The Fairlane is a sleeper. I had a friend with about that model modded up with a 302 and Top Loader. This is the early seventies,,, but it was orange!
My dad bought a new Fairlane wagon back in the 60's and it was his daily driver into the mid-70's. We had it sitting in the driveway for years until we just decided to junk it. Would have been nice to hold into it until now but really didn't have room for it.
I've rode in that car once with his brother Brian, also the house u walked around to knock on the front door, no one uses that one should have walked thru the shop to the back door.. crazy when u see stuff you been around your whole life on youtube.. theres alot of cool cars between the first house and down behind his moms house where u ended up.. just make sure you dont come unannounced… lol
