XM-rounded front, XP-squarer
EA-"ford" badge on bonnet, tailights, EB-badge in grille, ED-similar to EB but slightly different.
EF-no grille opening, EL-different bonnet with grille.

xm = " had a narrow curved chrome grill with sqare holes." xp = " chrome grill more like straight bars going across from light to light."
ea = " has a vent in rear pillar". eb = " vent was deleted" ed ?
el ef?
ba = " bottom grill section is all black " bf = " bottom grill has painted sections between end sections and centre. XR series has ribs in recess for fog lights ".
vr vs(commo) = ' hmmm ...... who cares . their both crappy

.........

[madmelon]

cmon be nice... EA-ED is a bit of an ask, especially from the rear. Same with BA-BF, unless it's an XR and even then it isn't hugely easy.

This site is exceptional with pics and details of most all models till the BA. Pick falcon or Fairlane/LTD at the top left.

if some one can tell me how ?????? i have a identification chart from an old FORD dealer for the models up to XW that i could post up

[qwigybo]

if you have scanned it onto your computer as image files, create a free account with photobucket.com and then you can upload the images onto there and post the links to the pictures on this site

Can help with a couple.

EA has badge on bonnet, EB has it in grill, ED has a kidney shaped grill. EA tail lights have the reversing lights incorperated into them, EB/ED have the reversing lights on either side of the number plate housing. EA has vents in the c-pillar panel, EB/ED dont. EA and early EB have different steering wheels to the later EB/ED. Also the EA and early EB had the 3.9L, later models had the 4.0L.
(The only problem with these models is that a lot of EAs have later model parts on them nowadays to make them look better. My EA had an EB bonnet and grill. Best to check build dates and engines etc if thinking about buying)

EF lower spec models have a flush bonnet with a slot for a grill and has brake vents in the front spoiler. EL has an oval grill and only the centre opening in the spoiler. EF has clear indicator lenses on the tail lights across the range, EL low spec has amber lenses.
EF Fairmont has a large "Ford" style grill that is colour coded, EL Fairmont is the same but has a bar running through the centre and is chrome.

I think the only difference between BA and BF (series 1) is the front spoiler and the tail light lenses have a different refraction pattern.

For the side profile of an EL, the EL had different (and better IMO) hubcaps.

EL GLi wheelcovers/hubcaps may have looked better, but they were famous for falling off the car. Have alook how many povo pack ELs have non std or missing wheelcovers!

Personally I prefered the ef especially the series 2 wheel covers. But then maybe I'm biased as I owned one. Then again it ended up with 16" tickfords and then 17" AJR's on it.

VR has the black holden badge and the VS had the chrome see through one.

Haven't had one of mine fall off, yet! And I drive the crappy SA country roads Monday to Friday to get to the train station to go to work.
