Intermediate Fairlanes (1962–1965)
FB (1962)
In May 1962, the smaller 1962 US Fairlane 500 sedan was introduced as the FB model[9] and a 221-cubic-inch (3.62 L) Windsor V8 was fitted[10] in lieu of the 332. Although classified as an intermediate-sized car in the United States,[11] the new model was referred to in Australia as the “compact” Fairlane.[10] The new model, which was assembled in Ford Australia‘s Homebush plant in Sydney, New South Wales, was £200 cheaper than its predecessor at £2,000;[10] 1,632 examples were produced.[9]
