The Ford FC LTD ushered in a new European styling theme that was based on the XD Falcon. Gone were the chrome bumpers and American inspired styling of earlier models. The FC LTD offered the potent 351 cubic inch V8 and featured 4 wheel disc brakes and a spacious luxury interior. The long wheelbase LTD was now shared with the ZJ Fairlane whereas previous LTDs had a longer wheelbase. Rear legroom was still generous though and the additional side window in the C pillar provided an airy feel to the interior. Trax has very nicely captured these unique Australian luxury Fords in 1/43rd scale. In addition to the standard model you can also buy the special edition Cartier – a model inspired by Ford’s Lincoln division - that was part of their Designer Series cars. Like the original, these cars are exclusive – so secure yours today while stocks last!
