Ford Fairmont
The Ford Fairmont is a model line of compact cars manufactured and marketed by Ford for the 1978 to 1983 model years. The successor of the Ford Maverick, the Fairmont marked the third generation of compact sedans marketed by Ford in North America. Initially positioned between the Pinto and Granada, the Fairmont was later marketed between the Ford Escort and Ford LTD. In contrast to its predecessor, the line was offered as a two-door notchback sedan, two-door coupe, four-door sedan, and five-door station wagon. Though never marketed by Lincoln, Mercury marketed a rebadged divisional counterpart of the Fairmont as the Mercury Zephyr.
