Sometimes the FORTRAN syntax file doesn't set the correct source form.

So if you want to choose it by yourself, add the following line in your vimrc file: 

au BufNew *.for let b:fortran_fixed_source=1 " set the correct value

The other way to do this is to change the file extension (F77/F90/F95), but it might be a long and/or hazardous work for big projects...

[edit] Comments

This one placed before "syntax on" works better: 

au BufRead *.for let b:fortran_fixed_source=1

You can also add the following line to a source file: 

C vim:set ft=fortran:
