... Ford Capri The Capri is remembered for the classic advertising slogan 'The car you always promised yourself'.

... Ford Fairlane, Landau and LTD The Fairlane range has always represented a more upmarket model in the Ford lineup, particularly in Australia. The name was taken from Henry Ford's estate, Fair Lane, situated near Dearborn Michigan. The name was first introduced to the Ford lineup in the US in 1955, although through the 1960's it would adorn a more "mid size" American sedan.

An instant hit, it would morph through five generations, however for the Australian market and from the Mark 3 onward each was given a two letter designation, from TC through TF. The first two generations were based almost entirely on the UK counterparts, but in keeping pace with Holden's Torana from the TC onward Ford began fitting the 200 and 250ci 6 cylinder engines previously reserved for the Falcon. As engine changes were introduced across the Falcon range, the Cortina naturally benefited also, the TD, TE and TF models being fitted with the cross-flow head versions of both the 3.3 and 4.1 litre engines. The engineers were ...
