Appointment required at hospital for COVID-19 testing LEAMINGTON — As announced Friday, October 2, the COVID-19 Assessment Centre at Erie Shores HealthCare has switched to an ‘appointment only’ model, meaning that those wishing to be tested must book an appointment. Prior to the province’s announcement last week, the local centre was on a walk-in basis. Anyone wanting a test could get one. Premier Ford announced late last week that they are changing things up, now requiring you to have symptoms or be from a high risk group. With new guidelines put in place, you can make an appointment for testing if you are showing symptoms, have been notified by Public Health or the COVID-19 app about potential exposure, you work in an at-risk setting, you will be visiting a long term care home, or if you require testing prior to a medical procedure. Appointments are available seven days a week from 8 am to 6 pm. You can book your appointment by calling the COVID Hotline at 519326-2373, extension 4263, or use the new online booking tool at https:// testing.getcorigan.ca and be sure to select Leamington as your preferred location.

UP UP AND AWAY! LEAMINGTON — These three giant tropical fish kites were just a small portion of the Southpiont Kites and Lights Show that was held this past weekend at the municipal soccer fields east of Leamington. Organizer George Paisiovich estimated a total of about 2,000 people attended the event, which, due to COVID restrictions, patrons were able to view from their vehicle. Last year’s event attracted well over 5,000 people, but patrons were allowed to wander the grounds. Paisiovich hopes that next year’s event will be back to normal with the restrictions lifted. Saturday was perfect weather for the kites, and a light show followed once darkness fell on the soccer fields. Paisiovich was happy that they were able to bring the show together for the community when so many other events were being cancelled. Sun photo

Sleeping Out event raises over $150,000 LEAMINGTON — The annual fundraiser for The Bridge Youth Resource Centre was done a little differently, but the results surpassed the previous totals when it came to funds raised. This year’s Sleeping Out at The Bridge had 127 participants, 15 teams and 654 donations, totalling $152,519.71. On Friday October 2, participants handed in their pledges and then were off to sleep outdoors with just some cardboard and a sleeping bag. This was to emulate what homeless youth may have to endure when faced with not being

able to find a place to sleep. Most participants chose to sleep in their own back yards due to COVID restrictions, but a hardy few braved the cold temperatures on The Bridge property on Sherk Street. A livestream of entertainment and activities were on tap for participants to watch on their mobile devices. Local musician Justin Latam entertained from inside The Bridge main building, where Arms Bumanlag acted as emcee for the evening. The Bridge Executive Director Krista Rempel was excited to get

underway Friday evening. “This has been great,” she said. “Our team has worked so hard.” At that point on Friday, the totals had already surpassed $100,000 in donations. The top fundraising corporate team was Essex Weld Solutions with $30,000 raised. First Lutheran Church and UMEI tied for most funds raised for an independant team, with both topping $5,000. Individually, the top fundraiser prize went to Tracey Sharron who gathered $3,492.00 for the cause.

Chamber’s annual Business Excellence Awards:

By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Mother Nature attempted to put a damper on the 26th Annual Business Excellence Awards produced by the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce, but some ingenuity and hard work helped make the evening enjoyable for about 80 vehicles in attendance. Normally held as a large gala-style banquet, this year’s Business Excellence Awards were set up with a drive-in style atmosphere to adhere to

COVID-19 restrictions. “We really had to think outside the box,” said Wendy Parsons, general manager of the Chamber. A 40-foot inflatable drive-in style screen was erected but after thunderstorms rolled through, it was deflated and the promotional videos and live-stream featuring emcee Jay Marchillo, were projected onto the side of a party tent. Inside the tent, the musical talents of Kari Lynn and Roger Hewett entertained the attend-

ees as their sound was piped through the FM radios of the cars in attendance. As the awards got underway, a light rain began to fall, but that didn’t stop the winners from coming forward to accept their awards. Videos of the winners were also displayed on the side of the tent. All-in-all, the night was deemed a success, as it brought businesses from the community together for a common purpose, which was to recognize

Cars get into place in anticipation of the 26th Annual Business Excellence Awards put on by the Leamington District Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, September 30.

Colours, phrases and masks

With the warmer weather this week contrasting last weeks cool temperatures, we can clearly see that autumn is well upon us. The changing of the colours is in full swing and some of those colours are magnificent. It must also be the right season for the pink skies around here too, if you know what I mean. Monday Mark Ribble morning on my way to work, the entire sky to the north of Leamington was a gorgeous magenta hue. It brings to mind the old saying: Pink sky at night, sailor’s delight. Pink sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Only you’d have to replace the word ‘sailors’ with ‘stoners’. And there you have it. Just one of many phrases or words that we’ve come to introduce into our vocabulary in recent months.

The Simpsons are having another party. There are at least 11 people there!” As we brace for the wrath of round two of the virus, let’s not forget the humanity, humility and general good sense that Canadians are known for. Wear your mask when in tight quarters, be kind to your kids, parents, grandparents and to each other. And please, wash your digits. It’s common sense anyway, so if nothing else, let’s try to keep those hands washed as much as possible. Sure, hand sanitizer is a great product, but there’s no substitute for the real thing and that is good old fashioned soap and water. Stay safe, stay healthy and keep on truckin’.

Grant Bowman Trail becomes a reality

By Mark Ribble WHEATLEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On a cool, sunny Saturday in the Village of Wheatley, local resident Grant Bowman was honoured with the naming of the former Two Creeks Trail in his name. The Grant Bowman Trail became a reality on Saturday, October 3, thanks to the hard work of many, including Donna Matier, Lauren Anderson and Kim Grant. Family, friends and dignitaries gathered near the head of the trail to honour the man who helped launch the trail more than 30 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wheatley Horticultural would GRANT BOWMAN Society like to thank you for all that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done to support us since our inception in 2017,â&#x20AC;? said Donna Matier, President of the Horticultural Society. Lauren Anderson, Chair of the Active Citizens of Wheatley, was quick to thank Grant for his years of guidance and knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grant has been an inspiration to many around our community to get involved, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve personally been very thankful for his wealth of knowledge,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What an amazing day,â&#x20AC;? said Chatham-Kent Mayor Darrin Caniff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thrillled at how many people stepped up to make this happen.â&#x20AC;? Member of Parliament for Chatham-Kent Leamington, David Epp, presented Grant with a certificate to commemorate the naming of the trail. His family was there in full support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to thank Grampa for everything he has done,â&#x20AC;? said his granddaughter Drew. Then it was time to hand over the mic to the man of the hour, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold back, sharing stories of the history of the trail, while naming off every person who has had a hand in its

creation and maintenance over the years. He even had a few suggestions for municicpal officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is indeed an honour to have this trail,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you all very much.â&#x20AC;? Grant explained that the Captain Wheatley statue at the head of the trail was made from wood picked up on the trail itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing people use the trail makes me happy. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep it maintained.â&#x20AC;? A pecan tree was planted on the adjoining municipal property in Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and he placed the first shovel of dirt at the base of the tree. He then spent several minutes posing with family and friends at the large sign erected at the head of the trail, which runs between Talbot St. and Middleton Line on the eastern edge of town.

Wheatley resident Grant Bowman was honoured with a small gathering at the head of the newly named Grant Bowman Trail on Saturday, October 3. Above, the Grant Bowman Trail sign is flanked by the Bowman family, from left, Quinn Bowman, Mark Bowman, Sue Ricci, Grant Bowman, Kalan Ricci, Brett Bowman, Drew Bowman and Jeff Bowman.

Cacciavillani, Fiorentino “Floyd” Costantino

90 years, passed away peacefully with his loving wife of 67 years, Bruna, at his side, on Friday October 2, 2020 at Erie Shores Hospice, Leamington. Floyd was born in Villa Canale, Italy. He arrived at Canada’s Pier 21 in Halifax on his eighteenth birthday, June 18, 1948 and was immediately certain that this was the right place for him to build a life. Floyd first noticed his wife, Bruna, in Italy. Their paths crossed again in Leamington where they married and bought a farm. Floyd loved working and travelling with Bruna. He often said that she was his “Rock of Gibraltar” and that his love for her only increased as years went by. Floyd was a constant, loving father to Elvira, Ercole (Nina) and Jane; loving Nonno to Nicole Capogna (Ryan), Erica Coco (Anthony) and Cory; and loving great-grandfather to Alessandro and Rocco. He was a dear brother to Gino (Rosina), the late Silvia Mastronardi (the late Tony), John, Mery Savoni (the late Danny) and an infant brother, Gino. Floyd began as a stone mason and a bricklayer by trade, but he was truly a builder his entire life. He was also a naturalborn businessman, starting with fruit and vegetable farming, then transitioning to greenhouse-grown tomatoes and finally to seasonal flowers. He was recruited to sell greenhouses for Lord & Burnham and generators for Pritchard Engineering. He ventured into real estate with three apartment buildings, Fiore Tower Apartments, which bears his name, a warehouse and a commercial complex. Those are the highlights but by no means all of his accomplishments. An Italian is named Floyd? An immigration judge found his name too difficult so he suggested the new name. Floyd loved people and his town. Floyd enjoyed helping the Italian community, as well as the larger Leamington community. He was a founding member of the Roma Club, a translator for new immigrants and helper with loan applications for farmers. He was even a match-maker! He volunteered on the hospital board for many years. He received countless awards for his achievements, including a Queen’s Jubilee medal and the Multicultural Council’s Harmony Award. Floyd made friends wherever he went because he was genuine and connected naturally with everyone. Floyd is predeceased by his parents, Corrado and Elvira Cacciavillani, his mother-in-law Fedela Mastronardi and his grandmother Silvia Vecchiarelli with whom he was exceptionally close as a child. Nieces, nephews, cousins and friends also survive locally, as well as in Italy, Argentina, France, Alberta and the U.S. Visitation was held at the Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street Leamington. Funeral Mass celebrating Floyd’s life, was held from St. Michael’s Church, 29 Elliott Street Leamington on Wednesday October 7, 2020. Entombment Erie Memorial Gardens, Leamington. www.reidfuneralhome.ca

THE APPLEFEST ‘PIE THRU’

Nicole, Ethan and Charlie Abdul-Massih have worked hard over six years to raise over $55,000 toward fighting childhood cancer. Photo submitted

Annual fundraiser goes virtual, raises $8,000 KINGSVILLE — The 6th annual Super Ethan’s Steps fundraiser for childhood cancer was a little different this year, but they managed to raise $8000 for the Pediatric Oncology Unit at Windsor Regional Hospital, despite dealing with COVID restrictions. The annual fundraiser, which began in 2015, has raised awareness about the disease and over $55,000 for children and families in Windsor-Essex affected by childhood cancer. In 2014, young Ethan Abdul-Massih was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. His parents, Nicole and Charlie spent a lot of time taking Ethan to his treatments and visiting the unit at the hospital. Ethan endured three-and-a-half years of treatment for his disease, completing his last treatment in 2017. Nicole and Charlie started the fundraiser to help others. “As a family who has been touched by childhood cancer, we understand how long those days can be,” says Nicole. “We understand how emotionally draining it can be.” With September being childhood

cancer awareness month, the event has been organized at the end of September each year and includes a walk through Kingsville from Lakeside Park. Following the walk, they did family activities, served snacks and refreshments and had a raffle table. Due to COVID this year, they opted to turn the event into a virtual one, with participants walking, biking and running with their family and friends on September 27. They also had a virtual raffle table. “Our goal is to help provide some comfort, care and smiles to children visiting the clinic due to their cancer diagnosis, as well as their family and loved ones who are with them there,” said Nicole. She was quick to point out the generosity of the local community, who have had a hand in helping them raise that $55,000. “None of this would ever be possible without the support of our Windsor-Essex community, who continue to amaze us with their kindness and generosity,” said Nicole.

Local food banks need donations WHEATLEY/LEAMINGTON/KINGSVILLE — Two massive food drives in Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex collected almost three million pounds of food, and about four months later, some local food banks are in need of food donations. The May 16 Miracle in Chatham-Kent set a new record for food collected in one day, with upwards of 500,000 pounds. It was followed by the June 27 Miracle in Windsor-Essex — an event that shattered that record, collecting two million pounds of food for the hungry. It’s now October and the Wheatley Area Food Bank is in need of donations.

According to Susan Fulmer from the food bank, their location is in need of canned meats, canned fruit, juice, soda crackers, peanut butter, jam, cereal, cookies, Sidekicks, instant oatmeal and soup. Any extra that you can spare can be dropped off at the Wheatley Baptist Church on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am. You can also call the Food Bank at 519-8257433, extension 4, to make other arrangements. The Kingsville Community Food Bank is also looking for donations of canned flakes of ham and chicken, pudding cups, fruit cups, canned green beans, snack bars and hygiene products. They

are open Tuesdays and Thursdays 9 am – 12:45 pm and on Wednesdays from 5-7pm. They’re at 18 Division St. North. Over in Leamington, the Salvation Army Food Bank is accepting emergency food appointments only and ask that you call 519-326-4901 to make an appointment. The Leamington Society of St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank at St. Michael’s Church has plenty of food in their pantry and invites those in need to make their way to the church. They are open on Wednesdays from 12-1 pm and 5-6 pm, and Saturdays 10am to 12 noon.

RUTHVEN — Over 100 apple pies were sold online during the Virtual Ruthven Apple Festival last week and a drive-thru pickup for the apple pies was held on Saturday, October 3. All funds raised benefit Community Living Essex County. Here, mascot Ruthie Van Apple and volunteer Joanne DeSantis make sure one of the lucky recipients gets her pie. Photo submitted

Live concert coming to Boonies Drive-In By Mark Ribble TILBURY — The Boonies Drive-in will be the site of a live conert being held October 17. In this time of COVID restrictions, many performers have opted for livestream concerts from their basements. Many others feel the need to perform live in front of a real live audience. Such is the case with Leamington’s Mary Newland and the Blue Bayou Band. Newland and her husband, Richard Baker of Santana fame, have been performing together for many years and to have that down time is not something they are used to. The two Canadian musicians met in LA, where Richard became her producer and performing partner for many years. Returning home a few years ago, they’ve found success with the Blue Bayou Band. “We’ve sold out houses from Windsor to Port Stanley,” she said. “We’ve never had this lack of gigs like we’ve experienced this year.” Newland reached out to a few musician friends and they had a discussion about trying to put on a concert in the midst of the COVID restrictions. “In such times, concerts are not allowable, so I decided to create a COVIDsafe concert,” she said. “That’s when the idea of using a drive-in came up.” So, on October 17 at Boonies Drive-In near Tilbury, Newland and her bandmates will take the stage for the first time since March, performing in the First Annual Mon-

Making hockey work for local youngsters By Mark Ribble LEAMINGTON — Practices and drills for players in the Southpoint Minor Hockey Association are well underway, with things looking quite a bit different than in previous seasons. With hundreds of kids converging on the newly names Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Complex, municipal staff and minor hockey volunteers were out in full force to ensure a safe hockey experience for the youngsters. Complex Recreation Supervisor Geoff Stephenson said that the vast majority of parents have been patient with staff as they navigate through the new reality of COVID. “We’re doing our best to keep everyone safe,” he said. “Things are different, but the kids are getting to skate.” According to Stephenson, when players arrive for their allotted timeslot, they are expected to be dressed for hockey, except for their skates, helmet and gloves. “This way, they can get ready as quickly as possible and get on to the ice,” he said. Minor hockey volunteers are at the front entrance taking temperatures and screening kids and parents. Each player can be accompanied by only one adult

and no siblings are permitted to attend. As they make their way down the stairs, they are ushered into the staging area where they can don their helmets, skates and gloves. A minor hockey volunteer will get them to the appropriate rink and parents are asked to go directly to the rink’s viewing area. After the practice is over, parents exit the rink to the parking lot and coaches help the kids get their skates off and out the main door to meet up with their parents. “It’s completely different than what people are used to,” said Stephenson. “but we’re doing the best we can with the information we have been given.” Stephenson says that after the dressing rooms are vacated (eight skaters per room), the rooms are sanitized with a fogger and wiped down on all the touch points. “We’re very thorough,” he said. “We want kids playing hockey.” Leamington’s two rinks are busier than ever with neighbouring arenas not available or having limited availability. Separate entrances are being used for the pool, the gym and the fitness areas, so that those clients do not mix with the hockey crowd.

Monday men’s hockey back in action October 19 by C. Scott Holland The Leamington Senior Men’s Hockey League (Monday night) has undergone some changes in order to play the 2020-21 season. Instead of its usual six teams and 90 players, the league is pared down to five teams and about 50 players. Under the special COVID rules, each team will consist of 10 players and one goalie. One ref will handle the on-ice duties as they play four-onfour. Among the refined

rules is the allotted time limit for each contest. All games will last 50 minutes maximum with curfews at 10 minutes to the hour and only two games per evening over a 10-week period. The session lasts from Oct. 19 to Dec. 21. Here are the rosters as drafted by team captains: Team Cody: Kyle Kudroch, Cody Cabral, R. Ziebok, Mark Matheson, Brock Larade, Jason Ottley, M. Fritsch, Tyler Clark, Koddi Quick, Mike Toth, goalie Adam Howe. Team Roo: Andy An-

sadness that the league learned of the passing of one of the league’s alltime great goalies, Marc Sherman. Marc began playing in the 1990s as a spare goalie then became a full time netminder. During his career, he guided several teams to championships and was known as a competitor who came to have fun but play at his best. In

21 seasons, he played 434 games and logged nearly 20,000 minutes, with a career record of 184 wins, 202 losses, 39 ties and eight overtime losses. In playoffs, he started 106 contests, won 47, lost 52, tied six and had only one OT defeat. On behalf of the league we salute Marc and will cherish our memories of him.

End-of-season scramble enjoyed by Talbot Trail Seniors By Bob McLean On a somewhat cool September 29, we had 61 of our league members participate in the scramble. Despite the cool, wet conditions of late, the course was in excellent playing condition. Special thanks to Derek, Robert, Lloyd and Phil. George had all the carts tuned and ready for action. The course proved to be extra challenging today. The lowest score of 34 was obtained by six teams. The highest score was 38. To decide the order of the winning teams, a dice roll was done. In first place was T7G1(Gerry van Deven, Jerry Paine, Gary Hillier, Bob Freure and Gary Honey). Second place fin-

ishers from T6G2 were: Phil, Mac, Dave LaBonte, Bob Lee and Bill Edwards. Winners of third place were Arkey, Gus, John Hall, and Walter of T2G1. The ‘Most Honest’ team was T8G2- BW, Larry Hyatt, Fuzzy, Erle and Conrad. Golf Balls were presented to the winning teams. Arkey fired a spectacular shot to within five feet of the #9 pin. Master putter Ed Woelk drained a 27 foot putt on #2 to win the Long putt. Gift cards were handed out

to the winning team members and Jamie and Ed each, in addition, received a sleeve of balls. In the draw the winners were: Ross $30, Fuzzy $25, Bobo $20, Tom $15. Bill Ward won a titleist hat and Al Zanuttini claimed two Lysol wipe containers. Jen (Cluhouse Manager), Kylee and Jack served the golfers delicious hamburgers and beans while we closely followed all the safety rules required

at this time. A generous tip from our league members of $250 was given to the young staff members. Tom White, a very friendly past player, donated a number of golf balls for our league. Tom was a fire fighter from Amherstburg who drove to Wheatley to play in our league for years. He is presently demonstrating a positive fighting spirit with his personal health issues. We appreciated all the positive support from our league members during this year. Hopefully, the health crisis ends in 2021. This will be the final write up for 2020. Keep swinging and have fun.

Erie Shores Thursday Night League ends season on a high note By Paul Bunnett-Jones Another year has come to an end for the Leamington Canadian Tire Men’s Thursday Night League at Erie Shores Golf Club. And despite all the conditions and restrictions it was a great year on the links with one of the highest numbers of sign-ups (119 players) in the past 30 years. With direction and planning by CPGA Club Pro Ryan Peltier and his dedicated pro shop staff and committee, it turned out to be a phenomenal success. That being said, only 69 players managed to brave the cool and intermittent rainy conditions on the final day with the team ‘Complete and Putter Madness’ hanging on to win the top title with 256 points that was 10 better than the runner-up squad, ‘Par Then Bar’. ‘Mulligan Island’ rounded out the top three with their year-end total

of 242. ‘The Bogey Men’, who led the standings for much of the summer before falling off the wagon three weeks ago, finished in fourth place with 234 points which was 10 ahead of ‘Foot Wedge Crew’ who had 224. ‘Cinderella Story’ was alone in sixth spot with 218 points while ‘Natural Hazards (206), ‘Slice and Dice’ (192), ‘Fringe Players’ (191) and ‘Worm Burners’ (179) all finished further back. In the low gross scores, with some irritating periods of rain and chilly temperatures, Ward Hutchins was the only golfer who managed to match par on the back 9 with a steady 36 to finish a stroke ahead of Kevin Babkirk and Brian Humphreys who both shot one over par rounds of 37. Dennis McDonald finished alone in fourth place with a two over par 38.

Dennis McDonald and Abe Bergen were next with four under par net rounds of 32, while Justin Szpuniarki, Bobby Dick and Wayne Quinn all tied for fifth best with three under par net 33’s. Joe Morin, Joe Wolf, Roger Cote, Peter Neufeld and George Bergen rounded out the top twelve with their two under net scores of 34. In the straight up gross skins activity for handicaps +5 to 3, Geoff Dunmore got a birdie 3 on the long par 4 17th hole, while Brian Humphreys and Raoul Morin picked up single birdie skins on holes 12 and 13. In the other gross flight of 4 to 6 handicaps, Kevin Babkirk got a birdie 3 on the 11th hole and a rare par 4 skin on the 17th hole, while Mario Sonego had a birdie 2 on the 13th hole and Mike Harris scooped up a birdie 2 on the 16th hole. In the handicap flight of 7 and over, Nick Sawatzky picked up an impressive net eagle 3 on the par 5 15th hole. For the year-end summary, Derek Dimenna finished at the top of the heap in skins money winnings picking up a total of $127. That was $37 more than the $90 each won by Neil Sawatzky and Derek Horop. Nick Sawatzky was next with $78, while Ward Hutchins had the fifth best tally in earnings securing a total of $71. Hayden Hodgson and Kevin Babkirk tied for sixth best with each picking up $67 and Kyle Humphreys was close by in 8th place with $63. Tied for ninth spot with $56 apiece was Wayne Oehlerking and Lee Mackenzie, while the threesome of Lucas Raffoul, Greg Dunmore and Wayne Gillett all finished tied for 11th best with $54 each. Tim Tiessen was a couple of dollars back in 12th place with $52 and Mike Harris finished another dollar back with $51. Phil Cornies

1964 Ford Fairlane like new again THE OLD CAR DETECTIVE Bill Sherk An email arrived from John Impens of Wheatley, Ontario: “Hi Bill. We bought our 1964 Fairlane 2-door hardtop in Cambridge. A man had done a rotisserie restoration and put over $120,000 into the car, then brought it to an auction in Kitchener, where it was sold to a car lot and I bought it from the lot. “I didn’t have to do any work on this car at all. Everything is new: suspension, interior, all chrome redone, motor overhauled and balanced, tranny all redone. “The car originally came from Tennessee. It has a 289 high performance motor with 271 hp and 3-speed automatic trans. It originally had standard steering and brakes now changed to power steering and power brakes and from generator to alternator. “The Ford Motor Company came out with the factory production Fairlane Thunderbolt in 1964 with a 427 V8 with two 4-barrel carbs rated conservatively at 425 hp but actual output was closer to 600 hp. “It was designed to race the quarter-mile against the Chrysler Mopars dominating the race circuits in the early

‘60s. Ford got the NHRA championship with this car in 1964. The Fairlane name came from Henry Ford’s estate in Dearborn, Michigan.” The historical background of the Fairlane takes us back to 1960, when all the Big Three brought out compact cars: the Ford Falcon, the Chevy Corvair, and the Plymouth Valiant, all in response to the growing popularity of 4-passenger imports, especially Volkswagen. The cars produced by Detroit in the ‘50s almost always had room for six passengers – but how often do you have that many people in your car? And how much gasoline do you need to drive a big car? The popularity of the Ford Falcon and other compacts opened up a new category waiting to be filled: the mid-size car. The first Fairlane came out for the 1962 model year with nearly 300,000 sold, and over 300,000 for 1963. And for 1964, you could get stiffer suspension and 4-on-the-floor. The Fairlane was hot! I’m always looking for stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca.
