The Ford Falcon is a model line of cars that were 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).[1] 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. For the 1970 model year, the Falcon was replaced by the Ford Maverick, through the 1975 introduction of the Ford Granada, the chassis of the 1960 Ford Falcon was used through the 1980 model year in North America, and until 1991 in Argentina. Following its initial 1970 discontinuation, Ford marketed a second "1970½" Falcon, serving as its lowest-price intermediate series, slotted below the Ford Fairlane and Ford Torino.
From 1959 to 1969, the Falcon was manufactured by Ford in multiple facilities across North America. {TAKEN FROM WIKI}

Gotta love watching a commercial for a new car (which I don't want) before seeing an old commercial for a 60 y/o car I'd kill to own. 🚗
Still driving a 1964 falcon futura almost daily
Still have my '63 with a 170 cid.
Not slow at all and very dependable. Starts every time, doesn't smoke, doesn't leak oil.😉
I think they are talking about the 140. The 170 was a lot better.
The 144 for 1960 had the same hp as the 170 for 1961, in 61 they defined the 144. Mine was a 3 speed manual 4 door, it gave me 29 city and 34 hiway. She had 125 k on the clock. Fun fact about the falcon, the owners manual said to change the oil every 7500 miles
Yes the first year only came with a baby 144.
Those early Falcons with that little straight 6 actually would get those kind of numbers in the real world...
But oh man were they slow... lol
My father bought a 1960 Falcon 2 door brand new in light blue with the black interior, 3 speed stick, radio and heater. It was a great little car that owned up to all that was advertised. In '63 he traded it for a new Comet 2 door black with a white top also with the 3 speed stick that although they were very similar the Comet had a 5 inch longer wheelbase that provided a smoother ride but didn't affect the gas mileage. I would love to have both of them back.
These were great little cars. I was only 6 years old, when these were introduced. Forget the financial condition that most people were in in 1959
I drive a 1969 falcon futura and it's really saving me money on gas! 2022 with these gas prices are insane! Had to switch from a chevy 2010 to a 1960s car to save mpg, hilarious.
I've got a 2008 FG Ford Falcon XR6 with a 4.0 litre DOHC inline 6 here in Australia ..I did a run over 400 kms and reset the fuel usage data and did highway , city and general stop go stuff over the day..fuel usage was 8.0 litres per 100 kms or about 33. mpg ..It's the Barra non turbo engine ..lots of power and unreal torque...and built like a truck reliabilty ...Ford Falcon finally ended in October 2016 after 56 years in our country ...Had various V8's over that time and lot's of inline 6's all originating from the 144c.i Thrift engine from about 1959.. If you're ever in Australia check out our amazing Ford Falcon history ...From 1972 the Falcon was all Australian designed ...1960 -1971 based on the U.S. Ford Falcon.. By the way , it never ever had a V6 engine , only straight 6's including turbo versions ..The later V8's had supercharged engines too based on the Coyote V8.. Cheers ...
@@rodneymcgiveron hell yeah m8, I loved how Australia kept the ford falcon running long after America stopped production in the 1970s.. Your rig sounds bad ass always thought it be cool to drive a newer one. Been to Austrialia once when I was deployed.
Ford Falcon ran from 1960 through to 2017 in Australia, Australian designed 1972 onwards.
These MPG figures is from the Ford engines of the 170 CID . My dad had a 1962 Ford Falcon 4 door wagon with auto and the 170 CID and his car got above 25 MPG with all of us kids and wife . 3 abreast front and back .
With it blistering 144 cu in in line 6 and 85-90 gross horsepower. It was a sure thrill and surprise just to own one. Curb feelers optional 😂
The comparisons of the Falcon to the rear engine Chevy Corvair are very obvious in this video, especially when they're talking about the amount of luggage space in the trunk, and the engine being "up front where it belongs".
Makes me want to get a ford falcon and test that mpg. I’m getting 28-30 in a 19 Jeep. At least the falcon would be easier to maintain and that inline 6 last forever
My Sister had one, a 1960, the heater never worked right, so my parents made her get rid of it and she got a Skylark
Beautiful little Falcons!
Yes they are!
They were soooo proud of that column gearshift which really looked wrong on the bucket-seat Futura. Whoops!
At least GM didn't try it on the Corvair. Tatra did the 603 with a manual column shift in a rear-engined car and it by all reports was a real pain.
Great vid, really enjoyed!! 👍👍👍
In a couple years even falcon would get a floor shift..
I think Ford designers for America based this mifle size car model onto the Ford Taunus 17m, a German version very similar. Also Falcon has that tipical touch of 1961 Thunderbird fender, chrome bordering the union fender and hoof.

There's lies, then there's DAMN LIES
Oh would i love a 63 Falcon Sprint 2 door 289.I don't remember if the came in a hardtop but if it did a hardtop.
The 1963 Sprint came with a 260 V-8 and was a hardtop.
if they could make a car with that kind of mileage in1960. why not now! My Impala claims to get around 30 but it doesn't
if those MPG numbers are real one has to wounder or ask in in all truth is the MPG of today's cars all that good. when those were all glass and US made steal no plastic bombers that crack from a 1 mph bump no cheap trim on the outside and no computer systems running the cars engine and transmission costing an arm and two legs to repair.
Yes those cars don't have some of the new items.
But those were and will be up and running for years to come because of their simple systems
Which is why I'm (I know this is highly ambitious) planning on starting a business to keep those old cars running (restoring, possibly manufacturing NEW parts from actual metal blocks) and get more on the road so more people can afford to get them. Greater supply of beloved classics + current demand = lower prices. I'm fully aware of the flaws of my logic there.
I own a 1966 Ford Falcon during the early years of the 80s it was suped up with 3 speed Racing Transmission it was 3 speed on the Tree then moved to on the floor. My next one like to get 62 or 63 or 64.
Funny how they hyped up the column shifter, when in 4 years, the mustang (from which its basic structure was taken from the falcon) was made with a floor shifter.
Which (I.m.o.) is where it belongs.
Change of priority from ' Economical , 6 passenger sedan ' to ' Sporty , enjoyable 4 or 5 seat sedan ' .
I love the early cars......
The 1960 Australian Falcons fell apart on rough country roads.
Took an upgrade to mostly compact Fairlane running gear in 1964 to start getting them a better reputation.
Nearly had Ford shut down manufacturing in Australia if the 64 and 65 XM and XP models did not sell well.
Were US roads that much better that these problems did not arise?
The oil companies in Oklahoma bought them to go out to the oil patch and they ripped the shock mounts out. Needed to stay on the well paved road.
@@Dr_ReasonThank you. First time I have heard it was not just an Australian thing not coping with less than well paved roads.
@@Dr_Reason bit more of the first Falcon story in Australia :
ruclips.net/video/x6JhdxJKsQI/видео.html
early falcons never used compact fairlane parts...entirely diferent suspension and steering ...not interchangable... I had many XK to XP falcons and compact fairlanes over many years...drove all of these cars tens of thousand s of happy miles...my XP with 200 and auto got 36 mpg on the highway...cheers...
@@romemancer7905 My friend had a 64 and it was awesome in durability and reliability. It was a 289 3 speed and still got mid 20s in the highway.
Six people in a Beetle?
First car to have smog control, Ford did away with the road draft tube and put a PCV valve in its place.
Gutless 144 cube engine....it should get 30 mpg
What’s the hurry 😊
@@DL-ry3qg I don't think 20 second 0-50 is anywhere near hurrying.84 hp 1981 charger 2.2 did 0-50 in 6.9 seconds.
This is BS, i had a 67 falcon with the 6 cylinder i got half of what their telling here
Simple but, slow, Thrifty and roomy.
What a load of bs.
Lies !
My 65 falcon with 200 and auto got 36 mpg on the highway...
Cheaper because of an engineering breakthrough? I wonder what breakthrough that was. Don’t paint the underside perhaps.
