Question EB ED Fairmonts with leather

How common is leather in EB ED Fairmonts? I am looking for one as an everyday car and would like leather, but so far I have only seen one Fairmont with leather. :

Fairmonts don't have Leather.
Only Fairmont Ghia's got leather, the choice was either Full Leather or 1/2 Leather 1/2 Velour.

Fairmonts didnt have leather in EB/ED, they had full velour unless it was an option? or unless you mean Ghia?

Damn it, missed by 1 minute!

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if Fairmonts had leather as an option, or it was just available on the Ghia. I will keep looking, but focus on the Ghias.

So many have half/half.
My EA has that.
My ED has full leather and it looks much better, front & back.

Good point, I looked at 4 ghias (EB/ED) before I bought my ED fairmont and all the leather head rests were all cracking and worn out drivers seats.
Much more chance of getting good condition velour.
But leather does look better, if you can find one in good condition.
