Description
The Ford XD Falcon Fairmont is part of the The Ford FalconB range that was produced by Ford in Australia from 1979 to 1982. It was the first iteration of the fourth generation of this Australian-made model and also included the Ford Fairmont (XD)bthe luxury-oriented version of the Falcon. The Falcon XD was released in March 1979 replacing the Falcon XC. It featured a new smaller body with no reduction in interior space. Stylistically, the XD was strongly influenced by the European Ford Granada Mark II of 1977. The only common components shared between the Granada and the Falcon however were the headlights.Unlike its predecessor, the XD range did not include a 2-door Hardtop model.
The base engine offered in the XD range was a 3.3-litre six cylinder engine. Other choices were a 4.1-litre (250 cu in) six cylinder, a 4.9-litre (302 cu in) eight cylinder and a 5.8-litre (351 cu in) eight cylinder engine. Transmissions available were a three speed column shift manual for six cylinder versions, the popular four speed manual floor shift, and the most popular transmission choice, the three speed automatic with the selector lever located either on the steering column or the floor. All engines had a carburettor with electronic ignition. In June 1980 the 3.3 and 4.1 inline six’s iron cylinder head was replaced by an alloy head. A total of 197,293 XD Falcons were built prior to the XD being replaced by the Falcon XE in March 1982.
This plate has no embossed characters but has a pressed out embossed borderB and is made from high quality aluminium and the artwork applied by a dye sublimation process with a lovely gloss finish. They measure 37 x 13 cm, exactly the same as the traditional fully embossed type of plate and look just like our other Aussie made novelty number plates; even the mounting holes are in exactly the same positions, so they can easily be hung on display indoors or outdoors. For protection during delivery we use extra packing materials to ensure they arrive in tip-top condition

Important note about images we provide : Just as we sometimes see that b pricing is subject to change without noticeb , so too are b designs subject to change without noticeb . In 99.99% of cases, what you see on Dixiebs website or brochure is what you get. However, there are the odd times when designs have changed in some small way (eg: maybe a logo moves to a different location on the item, or the colour changes). Sometimes this information doesnbt always trickle down until the new designs are manufactured and shipped to Dixie.B We hope this is helpful and understandable.
