And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Wish I had a Falcon or a Comet today. I could fix it myself if anything went wrong. Fuel pump, Distributor or points, coil. Could keep the spares in the trunk with a socket and wrench set.
I'm currently in process of freshening the 170 c i on my 64 Falcon. 4 door no options, solid body with nice patina. The statement above rings so true . Michigan Liver
Had a buddy that had one. We'd go drinking beer and cruising the back roads back in the day. Got stopped by the county police a couple of times and talked our way out of trouble. This was before drinking and driving was a capital offense. Just sayin'.
We have a 65 Falcon 4 door station wagon. fuel injected 302, C4 auto, Vintage Air AC, tubular A arms, disc brakes, and of course fat tires on vintage slot mags and air shocks to get the back end up a little.
we have driven it 500 miles to the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona, and several other long trips. every time we stop for gas, it draws a crowd.
I think the Falcon was available in more body styles than any other car , before or since. you could get the 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan, 2 door hardtop with no post, 2 door convertible, 2 door station wagon, 4 door station wagon, and the ranchero. all available with the streight 6 or the V-8 and a manual 3 speed or a 4 speed or a automatic. plus a couple years after the Falcons introduction, you could get the Falcon with the new body, called the Mustang.
and when Ford redesigned the Falcon in 63 1/2, they only changed the lower body , from the windows down, the glass and the roof stayed the same.
and Ford continued making the 1963 Falcon , unchanged except for the grill and head and tail lights, in Argentina, until 1992
the 91 Argentina Falcon looks almost identical to a Mercedes.
