While sharing the grille of standard Fairmonts, the Futura coupe shared the four-headlight fascia given to Mercury Zephyrs. In 1981, to increase parts commonality, all Fairmonts were switched to the four-headlight fascia. Additionally, as the higher-priced Granada was switched onto the Fox platform, the Fairmont took on a new role, focusing towards entry-level and fleet sales. For 1982, the Fairmont lost its station wagon model, as it was moved into the Granada lineup. To expand the model line, the Futura now was an optional trim on four-door models. The front fascia of the Fairmont differed from that of the Mercury Zephyr at the time of introduction. While the Zephyr always had four headlights, the Fairmont was originally designed with two (with the exception of the plusher Futura coupe). As part of a minor facelift for the 1981 model year, the entire Fairmont lineup received the four headlight treatment as well. So 1979-80 -- Last edit: 2015-04-19 17:44:07 |

Not true. Base 1981 Fairmonts had the dual headlights, and the expanded Futura-line had the quads. The base models were dropped for 1982. Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" -- Last edit: 2015-04-19 18:24:17 |

Proves the net is full of misinformation...The question here is 1981 the correct model year or is it earlier?? -- Last edit: 2015-06-04 03:49:40 |
