2017 50c ANDA Perth Ford Classics 1976 ZH Fairlane Marquis PNC

The Fairlane was regarded as the epitome of Australian luxury motoring. A locally made American Fairlane was sold between 1959 and 1964, and the badge was reintroduced in 1967 for a Falcon-based, long-wheelbase flagship sedan. However, by the mid-1970s, the Fairlane attracted heavy criticism for being barely distinguishable from the more affordable Falcon. Ford responded with the ZH model, which took the XC Falcon and, like all previous Fairlanes, added the requisite length. Its styling, though, saw a clear distinction from Falcon with more visual weight and road presence.
