AJ’s Car of the Day: 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan
Car: Ford Fairlane Club Sedan
Year: 1956
What makes it special: The Ford line gained a new body for 1955 to keep up with Chevrolet, although it remained similar to the 1952 underneath. The new Fairlane replaced the Crestline as the top trim level. The company now marketed three different rooflines on its two-door models; the tall two-pillar Mainline, Customline, and Fairlane sedans, pillarless hardtop Fairlane Victoria and the chrome-pillar Fairlane Crown Victoria.
What made it famous: The eggcrate grille featured on the 1955 cars was widened into a series of rectangles for 1956, but this subtle exterior change was nothing compared to Ford’s adoption of a 12-volt electrical system across the line. There were new convenience options, such as a new air-conditioner system, a new heater, and a nine-tube signal-seeking radio. Instead of gauges, instrument cluster warning lights for oil pressure and ammeter were standard. The Lifeguard safety package consisting of seat belts, a padded dashboard, a deep-dish steering wheel, and a breakaway rearview mirror was introduced. The optional air conditioner, which remained expensive, was totally revamped; the compressor was now housed beneath the hood and the cooling vents were moved to atop the dashboard. The Mileage Maker Inline-6 was bumped up to 223 cu in for 120 hp and the new-for-1954 Y-Block V8 was now offered in two sizes. Standard Fords used a 272 cu in version with 162 hp with a 2-barrel carburetor and single exhaust or 182 hp with 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, but the large 292 cu in unit from the Thunderbird was also offered, with 193 hp.
Why I would want one: Being a fan of the Fairlane line, it would only be natural to want one of the premiere year Fairlanes.
Fun fact: A new design would be offered in 1957.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe Coupe
Car: Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe Coupe
Year: 1951
What makes it special: The Pontiac Chieftain was produced from 1949 to 1958. The 1949 Chieftain and Streamliner models were the first all new car designs to come from Pontiac in the post World War II years. Previous cars had been 1942 models with minor revisions. Chieftain was initially introduced with four models: Sedan, Sedan Coupe, Business Coupe and Deluxe Convertible Coupe. In 1950, a Catalina Coupe was added to the range while a station wagon was added in 1952, with the discontinuation of the top of the line Streamliner wagon.
What made it famous: Some of the more interesting optional items available for the first generation Chieftain included a radio with seven vacuum tubes, tissue dispenser, under seat heaters, and a Remington Auto-Home shaver. In 1951, the horsepower on the 248.9 cu in L-Head 8-cylinder rose to 116. The Chieftain came with a gas gauge, ammeter, oil pressure gauge, and a temperature gauge which had marks for 160, 180, and 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why I would want one: I like that it’s stylish, lots of chrome but not too over-the-top, and it’s different than other offerings of that era at car shows.
Fun fact: The horsepower differences between each of the 6- and 8-cylinder engines ( of which there were 4 choices total ), was due to changes in compression ratios.

Dr. Rao in studio- How to Conquer Flu Season
Flu season is well among us, and it’s hitting hard; 11 people in Connecticut have already died from this season’s strain.
Dr. Rao from Fairfield Urgent Care was in the Chaz and AJ studios today to debunk all the flu rumors spreading around this year, latex gloves and all….
The flu this year is “tricky”, Dr. Rao says, so one sure fire way to outsmart it is to get the flu shot, even if you don’t think you need it.
“You can still get the flu (with the shot), but what the flu shot does is help your body get ready for the flu, so that it is not so bad.” Dr. Rao says.
If you are suddenly caught with the flu, shot or not, “the most important thing to do is to stay home”. This does not include catching up on chores and partaking in strenuous activities, Rao advises. It is, however, a good time to rest and catch up on Netflix; Rao recommends the Fyre Festival documentary.
If you’re feeling a little extreme, you can follow Dr. Rao’s footsteps and take Sudafed, no doctor’s note needed (Just show the pharmacist your ID). This will dry up your nose when you feel a cold coming on. Be careful, as older people are more at risk for problems when taking Sudafed.
Otherwise, Dr. Rao says the best way to avoid germs “is washing your hands and staying away from people.”
When all else fails, just stay in bed, rest, and eat some chicken soup.
Visit Dr. Rao at Fairfield Urgent Care.

AJ’s Car of the Day: 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Car: Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Year: 1972
What makes it special: The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a luxury car produced by British automaker Rolls-Royce in various forms from 1965 to 1980. It was the first by the marque to use unitary body and chassis construction. The Silver Shadow was produced from 1965 to 1976, and the Silver Shadow II from 1977 to 1980. To date, the combined model run has the largest production volume of any Rolls-Royce.
What made it famous: The Silver Shadow was designed with several modernizations in response to concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation, most notably its unitary construction. Style-wise, its design was a major departure from its predecessor, the Silver Cloud. The new Shadow was 3 1⁄2 inches narrower and 7 inches shorter than the Silver Cloud, but still offered increased passenger and luggage space thanks to more efficient packaging made possible by unitary construction. Other new features included disc brakes replacing drums, and independent rear suspension instead of the outdated live axle design of previous Rolls models. The Shadow featured a 189 hp, 6.75 L V8 from 1970 to 1980. It was mated to a General Motors-sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. A distinctive feature was a high-pressure hydro-pneumatic suspension system licensed from Citroën, with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension. Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride quality with this arrangement.
Why I would want one: For the sheer, immature joy of rolling up to someone at a stop light and asking for Grey Poupon.
Fun fact: The convertible variant was marketed as the Silver Shadow Drophead Coupé.
