When my dad bought his Fairlane he was told it was one of the last 2 made.
He is buying a new car and was going to trade it in. It has been his daily drive and has the expected wear and tear. I was thinking about buying it off him as a project. How would I go about confirming it was the last one made? I have emailed foacust1@ford.com but no reply as yet. Dad said the Ford dealer is not able to help |

The last Fairlane was built 13/12/2007, it's unlikely your October build was 2nd last.

Very unlikely, thanks for your help.
All he had was the word of the ford dealer. If you can't trust a car salesman... |

Last one went up for auction for charity, and actually sold for less than retail.
Im sure if you looked online you could find a news article on it.

From memory, you're going to have to find someone with small hands.
