Ford Falcon (US)

Launched in 1959 to combat the rise of compact imports and a shifting economy, the Falcon brought "stylish simplicity" to millions. This gallery tracks the Falcon’s evolution from an economical compact to a performance-capable platform that spawned the sporty Sprint, the luxurious Futura, and the wood-paneled Squire wagon. While the US Falcon ended in 1970, its legacy lived on as a bestseller in Australia for decades to come.
