Ford Falcon (1970½). Sold January 1 to August 1970 (prod. 26,000). 2- and 4-door sedan, 5-door wagon. 250, 302, 351 (250 and 300 hp), 429 (350, 370, 370 Jet Ram-Air) in³. For half a model year, Ford transferred its Falcon nameplate from the compact model to the intermediate Torino/Fairlane bodyshell (117 in wheelbase for sedans; curiously, the wagon was on 114 in), making the Torino’s engine options available. Still marketed as an economy car, the last American Falcon is characterized by its swooping design. After 1970, Falcons were made only in Australia and Argentina (with an assembly plant of Australian models in New Zealand).
