New Member - A little help with ID

[FordFanPat]

Hello all and thanks for adding me! Have loved this car since the day I took an interest in classic cars back in my teens and finally took the plunge and bought one (mid life crisis?). Anyhoo... Would like to see if anyone can help me out with a couple of ID questions? Obviously it's a Fairlane 500. But I'm not sure what the difference between a Club & Town Victorias is and what this one would be. Also noticed very few Fairlanes have the chrome on the headlights. Any info on that? Thanks!!!!

See at the upper right where it says "Check out the newsletters posted at our main club site".
If you open that & then the menu icon thing on the right you can find stuff like this in a list of info.

This pic of VIN info might help too.

The chrome headlight eyebrows are not a Ford option.  This part is sometimes removed and chromed for those that want the custom look.  The Club Victoria is a 2 door hardtop, the Town Victoria is a 4 door Sedan.

Many thanks for the info! Wanted to narrow down the type of 500 it is. Looked at some period brochures and couldn't tell by that alone.
