Wow. I really didn't expect this sorta response.
I meant technically, in Ford's books, is it a fairmont or a falcon fairmont, aside from them all being falcon shells, and the current BA/BF fairmonts being a trim package. Whats this about the plates being stamped Falcon? Take a look here: http://www.ford.co.nz/servlet/Conten...Page&c=DFYPage I think this kinda answers it maybe?

It is based on body shell not what pretty decorations you can hang off it. Or if you wish to be technical about it ( Floor pan )Thats how Ford class them. Thats how the rego office class them for road tax. Insurance companies classification is irrelevant they will split hairs just to find a way to suck more money out off you.
1966 Ford Falcon Fairmont was classed as a Falcon. 2006 Ford Falcon Fairmont Ghia is classed as a Falcon. Ford then classify the differences as Series. These my 2.2 cents I charge GST |

Each Ford is an individual in my mind. Holden nearly got it right with their names, at the same time you can refer to "the bucket of sh1t" and everyone know's what you mean.

XT (or Forte) = Falcon
Futura = Falcon Fairmont = Falcon Fairlane = Fairlane LTD = Fairlane

hmmmm, interesting, should i maybe refer to my stock forte as Moby Dick?
with the grille an all. if you owned a mazda 323 and called it a Focus you would still be correct despite people confustications.

I used to tell everyone that the Fairlanes we've owned were "just Falcons with electric windows"
Then they put electric windows into Falcons!!

As i see it, if it comes from a factory and it's a falcon shell, than it's a falcon, it might have an FPV and GT badge but its still a falcon. Same as commodores, I still say clubsport or GTS but to me they are still commodores.
