Details
This 1978 Ford Fairmont Futura is the 100 millionth vehicle built by Ford Motor Company, and it rolled off the assembly plant on Nov. 15, 1977. The Fairmont series was introduced at the beginning of the 1978 model year, and marked the rollout of Ford's Fox body which became the platform for the 1979 Mustangs. This historic crème over gold 1978 Fairmont Futura went on a national tour to mark the milestone, with stops in Detroit and other U.S. cities. It eventually retired and was on display in 2003 at Ford's Headquarter in Dearborn, MI for the 100th Anniversary of Ford Motor Company. In the fall of 2003 Ford had a closed dealer only auction where this 1978 Fairmont Futura, after spending the first 26 years of its life in the possession of Ford Motor Company, was offered up for sale. The Futura was purchased by a Ford Dealer in Arizona where it has spent the last 20 years in a private collection. This 1978 Ford Fairmont Futura is all original with 3,572 miles (title reads exempt), and it is equipped with a 3.3-liter inline-6 engine paired with an automatic transmission. The two-tone paint job is Crème over Gold with a matching Crème and Gold interior.
