They sure weren't more dependable. They hated to start below minus 10 degrees F. They vapor locked above 100 deg. They had 15,000 mile tires. Batteries lasted 3, maybe 4 years. 4 years for shocks or mufflers. The Sears ( wards, Pennies ) catalog sold dozens of pages of car parts for a reason.
3:22 - you don't have to worry about recovering from an injury in a front on crash, that steering wheel column will just go through your heart and it's over like that.
Did you notice the poor fit and finish at 4:54? Huge gap in the trunk lid. Pray this it never rains. If it does, that trunk will be one of the largest capacity aquariums in the automotive industry. Ford Junk.

![These Falcon Ads Really Hype MPG!! [1960 Ford Falcons]](/img/1.gif)
All the years the Fairlane was produced was such a stylish and beautiful car, yet very affordable for most people.
Notice the gap around the Falcon boot (trunk) lid when he closes it....
Probably a pre-production car.
omg….. I said the same thing! WOW 😯
That’s for cat to get in.
It seems odd that they splurged for color TV ads but featured white cars with gray interiors.
white and gray represented your basic economy model to the consumer mindset
@@errorsofmodernism9715 Compared the Chevy Corvair, the Falcon was positively plush
These two were basically the Ford Focus and Ford Fusion of the 1960s
Crank handle windows. No extra cost. Ash trays. No extra cost.
Ford should had kept the '60 Edsel for the whole year.
So all the people who paid $142 more for last year's Fairlane 500 are feeling like they got screwed.
Equals about $1350 in 2022 dollars.
30 mpg !
Ford falcon maed in Usa or Germany !!!??
kansas
In Australia too.
I thought Charlie Brown's first TV appearance was the Christmas special. Instead, it's a series of Ford commercials the Peanuts gang did.
Cars were more affordable, dependable and simple. Most repairs ere done under the shade tree.

Anybody could work on them.
