Forty-nine, Fairlane Dead?
USA Today reports that Ford's slumping finances have left no money to
produce an updated Ford Fairlane and a roadgoing version of the concept
Forty-Nine. The Fairlane, the paper reports, was to eventually replace the
Crown Victoria. The cost pressures also mean it's virtually certain that
the Ford mid-engine supercar to be shown at next month's Detroit auto show
won't be produced as well. While Ford is in its current product drought,
analysts like John Casesa at Merrill Lynch are predicting that the
competition will replace its products much more aggressively, which could
place Ford in even a more difficult position.
