The Ford Falcon XD, XE, and Fairlane ZJ, ZK, LTD, FC, and FD models, produced between 1979 and 1984, represent a significant chapter in the history of Australian automotive manufacturing. These robust and versatile vehicles, while sharing a common platform, offered a range of body styles and trim levels to cater to diverse consumer preferences. From the spacious and luxurious Fairlane to the practical and affordable Falcon, these models became staples on Australian roads, favored for their reliability, durability, and ample space. They were offered in a variety of configurations, including sedans, wagons, utilities, and even a short-lived coupe variant. Under the hood, the Falcons and Fairlanes were powered by a variety of six-cylinder and V8 engines, offering a blend of performance and fuel efficiency depending on the chosen model and engine option.

Beyond their utilitarian nature, these Falcons and Fairlanes also carved a niche for themselves in motorsport. The larger, more powerful Fairlane models, in particular, proved to be successful in touring car racing, where they consistently challenged the dominance of the Holden Commodore. The Falcon's enduring legacy can be further seen in the popularity of its iconic six-cylinder powered "six pack" models, with their distinctive chrome air scoops and charismatic performance. Even though these cars are no longer in production, their cultural significance in Australia remains. Enthusiasts continue to restore and maintain these vehicles, ensuring their continued presence on the road, and their contribution to the rich history of Australian automotive manufacturing remains celebrated to this day.
