All 2 Ford Mainline Generations
Each generation deals in its rarity tier’s alloy with its engine disc, lead specs, and first spotter record. Click into any generation for full trims and market figures.

The Mainline wasn't really its own model — it was the bargain-basement trim below Customline and Crestline, and even its wagon version lost the Mainline name once Ford spun wagons into their own series for 1955.

This humble work ute borrowed its backbone from a convertible — Ford Australia reinforced the Mainline's chassis with an X-member lifted straight from the Sunliner.
