Excerpt: The Ford Torino is an intermediate car produced by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market between 1968 and 1976, named after the city of Turin (Torino, in Italian), which is considered the Detroit of Italy. It was initially an upscale version of the intermediate sized Ford Fairlane, which Ford produced between 1962 and 1970. After 1968, the Fairlane name was retained for the base models with lower levels of trim than those models which wore the Torino name. During this time, the Torino was considered a subseries to the Fairlane. By 1970 Torino had become the primary name for Ford's intermediate, and the Fairlane was now a subseries of the Torino. In 1971 the Fairlane name was dropped altogether and all Ford intermediates were called Torino. This name was one of several originally proposed for the Mustang while in development.

The Fairlane name continued to be used for lower level models, and the Torino was considered a sub-series to the Fairlane during this time. The 1968 Fairlane and Torino used the same wheelbases as its 1967 predecessor: 116 in (2,946 mm) on 2 and 4-door models, and 113 in (2,870 mm) for station wagon models. 1968 Torino HardtopStyling was all new for the 1968 Fairlane/Torino, and it was drastically changed from the 1967 models.
