It's lacking the chrome strip on the side, but considering the age of the vehicle, this isn't too out of the ordinary (it's also lacking a windscreen wiper, for example, so it's a bit beat up). It's possible that it was damaged at some point, and repaired using parts from a Falcon instead of Fairmont, or that panel was resprayed and the trim just wasn't put back on. In fact, the mis-matched light blue paint on the driver's side kind of proves my point here. Other suggestions that it's a Fairmont - the passenger side mirror was more commonly fitted to Fairmonts than it was Falcons (it was optional on both, but rare on Falcon), as was the vinyl roof. Also, a higher proportion of Fairmonts survived into old age compared to Falcons, because they were more valuable/desirable. -- Last edit: 2020-05-12 18:32:14
