Identify the red car in this ad?
I'm thinking 4 door Fairlane, but the image is so blurry.

agree on the blurry, but the square taillights gives your fairlane a nod.

The commercial was from 1967, and the '66-67 Fairlane looked the same. The front in the ad looks like it was canted forward and the Fairlane had that kind of front.

Did the Falcon have round taillights in '66 or 67? I still think it's a Fairlane.
