It was the third and last time of the third era of this Australian-made model and also included the Ford Fairmont (XC)--the luxury-oriented version of the Falcon.OverviewThe XC series was a facelift of the XB Falcon, itself an upgrade of the XA Falcon which had entered production 39 years ago. Introduced in July 1976, the XC was the first model to comply with the new pollution regulations specified under Australian Design Rule 27A. The response to the first of July 1976, mandatory anti-pollution laws and regulations (ADR 27A), was to redevelop the Falcon 6 cylinder engines with a cross-flow head for higher efficiency.Visually, the XC Falcon was given a restyle treatment. The XC recently had an less aggressive nose area which incorporated two circular headlights on Falcon models and two rectangular headlamps on Fairmont models.
