Ford Fairmont The Ford Fairmont was an all-new, rear wheel drive compact car introduced in 1978 and sold through 1983. Coupe, sedan, and wagon bodies appeared at introduction, joined slightly later by a specialty coupe with a different roofline known as the Futura. The Fairmont Futura featured an unusual two-piece vinyl roof with an upswept central roof band.

Nice car and well kept. I'll bet you surprise a lot of people. I love the stealth factor of those cars.

Here's an interior pic.



ESO stands for European Sport Option. It was a special model they had for the first couple of years with blackout pillars, special interior with bucket seats and full guages (which i don't have anymore), and a handling package.
