1962 FORD FALCON TWO DOOR - FORD'S SUCCESSFUL COMPACT CAR

The Ford Falcon is a model line of cars that was produced by Ford from the 1960 to 1970 model years. The first compact car marketed by the American Big Three automobile manufacturers (though antedated by the Rambler American), the Falcon was the third car line introduced by Ford, following the full-sized Ford and the Ford Thunderbird. In contrast to its competitors, the Falcon was developed as a scaled-down version of the full-size Ford Galaxie sedan. Through its production, the Falcon was offered in the same body styles as its full-sized Galaxie counterpart, including two-door and four-door sedans, two-door hardtops and convertibles, two-door and four-door station wagons (the former, serving as a basis of the final Ford sedan delivery), and coupe utility pickups (serving as the basis of the Ford Ranchero). During its production, the Falcon served as the basis for multiple Ford vehicle lines, including the first generations of the Ford Mustang pony car and the Ford Econoline/Ford Club Wagon vans. Through the 1960s, Ford produced three generations of the Falcon, all derived on the same platform architecture. The Ford Falcon was so successful that this year all models approached 400,000 units in sales. This two door sedan and the Deluxe two door sedan together sold 143,650 cars. This like new example you see here had a base price of $ 1,985. There were two engines only for the Falcon, both six bangers, a 144 cube with 85 horses and a 170 with 101 horses. Every once in a rare while I'll come across a Ford Falcon, but this has to be one of the best original survivor two door sedans encountered. Thanks for viewing.
