Ford Fairlane (EA77). 1996–9 (prod. 8,580). 4-door sedan. F/R, 3984 cm³ (I6 OHC), 4942 cm³ (V8 OHV). Final Fairlane on this platform, and last one to have a code unique to itself—its EA169 successor would be grouped under the AU colloquialism as with the rest of the Falcon and Fairmont ranges. Ghia trim introduced for 1998. Usual luxuries on a fairly rugged platform, beloved of hire car companies Down Under. Roomy and comfortable, though detail finish behind that of European and Japanese luxury cars.
