The bumper design and headlight arrangement look kind of familiar, don't they? Originally (up until 1982), base Fairmonts had just two headlights, and Fairmont Futuras had the Diplomat-resembling four headlights. After 1982, all Fairmonts were Futuras, hence they all had four headlights.<strong><br> </strong><a href="http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/1378/" target="_blank"><i>From Trever's Home Page</i></a></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="80"><a href="fair02.jpg"><font size="2"><img border="0" src="fair02_small.jpg" alt="fair02.jpg (19655 bytes)" width="75" height="51"></font></a></td> <td width="520"><font size="2">The resemblance in this 1979 Fairmont Coupe to the Diplomat is even more telling.

There isn't a lot available on the web about Fairmonts, but six-cylinder engines seem to be the norm.<strong><br> </strong><i>From Ford Fairmont Enthusiasts</i></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="80"><a href="fair03.jpg"><font size="2"><img border="0" src="fair03_small.jpg" alt="fair03.jpg (15552 bytes)" width="75" height="48"></font></a></td> <td width="520"><font size="2">This 1980 Fairmont Wagon shows a two-lamp arrangement, which presented slightly less resemblance to the Diplomat.<strong><br> </strong><i>From Ford Fairmont Enthusiasts</i></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="80"><a href="fair04.jpg"><font size="2"><img border="0" src="fair04_small.jpg" alt="fair04.jpg (15088 bytes)" width="75" height="50"></font></a></td> <td width="520"><font size="2">This image is the only Fairmont Sedan photo I could find on the web.<strong><br> </strong><i>From Ford Fairmont Enthusiasts</i></font></td> </tr> </table> <p><font size="2"><b>Thanks to Mike Cunningham for filling in some missing information and correcting my errors.</b></font></p> </td><td valign="top" width="24"></td><td valign="top" width="1%"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="250"><table border="1" cellspacing="1" width="100%" bgcolor="#52ABD6"> <tr> <td width="25%" bgcolor="#000000"> <p align="center"><font size="2"><a href="../../index.html"><b>HOME</b></a><br> <br><a href="../../tools/whatsnew.html">New</a><br> <a href="../../tools/sitemap.html">Map</a></font></td> <td width="75" bgcolor="#000000"><font size="2"><nobr><a href="index.html">Up</a></nobr> </font></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="375"><div style="text-align:center;"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7865546952023728" data-ad-format="auto"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> <p align="center" style="font-size: small;"><img src="/graphic/site/bigdip_small.jpg" alt="Dodge Diplomat" width="100" height="26"><br> • Copyright © <script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script> VerticalScope Inc.
