Ford Falcon

The Falcon was a sedan marketed by Ford from 1960 to 1970. It formed the basis for the Ford Mustang. It competed in the Trans-American Sedan Championship road racing series until it was replaced by the Mustang. The Falcon formed the basis for the Ranchero car/pickup hybrid in the sixties after having been based on the Fairlane for three years. Falcons are still marketed in Australia and compete in the V8 Supercars road racing series where they are extremely competitive. There is even a Falcon Ute car/pickup hybrid. No plans to import either model to the United States have ever been made, however.
