1960-Present Ford Falcon Wagon...in Australia
Bobinott picked up yesterday's breadcrumb and spotted the first generation RHD Ford Falcon wagon. In Australia, the Falcon badge lived a much fuller life than the one in the US. Down Under, it enjoyed seven generations and would probably live on were it for the collapse of the automotive industry in that country. Here are the generations of Falcon long roofs that we didn't get. Well, at least in this exact configuration and with this badge. Their generation designations were slightly different and we never got their third generation (well we did, as other models), which would have been our fourth generation. If you want to have some more Falcon fun, dive into the history of this Aussie model; there are all kinds of neat bits and pieces of trivia and facts associated with this long-running, but not necessarily beloved, model.

That 3rd gen looks like a Fairlane/Torino based effort. Then I can see Euro Granada and Mondeo a bit later on. No idea what the current gen is based on, but I sure wish we got those in NA, rather than "How big an SUV would you like to buy, sir?".
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't think we ever got the EA169 platform cars. I don't know why.
