NL / DL Ford Fairlane Spotters Guide

1996–1998 (Fourth generation)


In September 1996, the revised NL Fairlanes and DL LTDs appeared. In 1997, Ford introduced a higher Fairlane Concorde trim, with the same 4.0-litre and 5.0-litre engine choices. No Sportsman variant of the Fairlane was offered.

For customers, five Dealer modified NL Series Fairlanes from Sydney and Melbourne utilized parts from the 5.0-litre Mustang Cobra and Australian delivered SVO parts due to the limited edition run of the Fairlane by Tickford and customers wanting to maintain the Luxury look but sport the GT's performance.

Ford expanded the Fairlane range greatly in 1998. Beginning with the Ghia, there was also a basic Concorde (six-cylinder) and Concorde Ghia (V8). A Tickford-modified version was also available, with the larger engine, as well as a luxurious Fairlane Special Edition Ghia.

The NL/DL series were the last models to come equipped with automatic self-leveling rear suspension.
