Not Building the Forty-Nine and Fairlane

as what http://www.thecarconnection.com says

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.

here was info about the fairlane at first


2004 Ford Fairlane
In a secret project that Ford has kept tight wraps on for the past two years, a new rear-wheel-drive car is being developed that will fit into the full-size sedan market just above the Taurus but below the evergreen Crown Victoria. And the car is going to carry a name rich in Ford heritage: Fairlane. The hush-hush Fairlane project will produce a new vehicle by the model year 2004. Look for this car to offer both V6 and V8 engine power with a special version of the V8 aimed straight at the 60,000-unit-sales-a-year police cruiser market
