Default Falcon features over the years

Thought it'd be cool to have a list of features in falcons/fairlanes that have come and gone over the years, due to cost cutting or being plain useless. A few that I remember if i recall rightly:

- Power sockets in all doors (XF?)
- Tibbe locks in all doors (EB?)
- Map pockets in all doors (NF fairlane)
- Illuminated Keyhole in driver's door (EA GHIA)
- Self Levelling suspension in NF/NL
- Speed sensitive steering in EL Ghia
- passenger grab handles above all 4 doors (EB?)
- voltage and oil pressure guages on dash (EA-EL)
- Premium Sound with cool audio effects DSP (EF/EL Ghia)
- Head unit with no volume control knobs, and a little joystick button for moving the audio balance among Left/right/front/back (EB).
- The Ford Advertising Jingle at the time (e.g. 'have you driven a ford.. lately') and a quick introduction to the vehicle on a cassette tape (EB Gli)
- Leather(vinyl?) Wallet for user's manual (EA-EL) and service log
- Cigarette lighter standard on all models
- 12 way adjustable seat (DF LTD?)
- Hollow front seat headrests in XR models up to EF/EL?

Anything else you guys recall?
