1962 Ford Falcon Pics
1962 Ford Falcon
The Ford Falcon nameplate was introduced for 1960 and remained in production through 1970. During its lifespan, it served as a complete line of economical and highly versatile Ford compact models. Bodystyles ranged from 2- and 4-door sedans to station wagons, 2-door hardtops, convertibles, sedan deliveries, Ranchero car/pickup hybrids, and Econoline vans and pickups. Its chassis provided the basis for the Mustang in 1964.
For the 1962 model year, the Falcon received very few modifications in comparison to their 1961 siblings. In the front was a new convex grille that featured vertical bars. The Falcon line was divided into two lines for 1962 consisting of the Standard and Deluxe Series. The Deluxe models had been optional equipment on the 1960 and 1961 model years. Also joining the lineup in 1962 was the Falcon Squire station wagon. The most popular body style for 1962 was the 2-door sedan, which saw production reach 143,650 units in both standard and deluxe form combined. The 4-door version found 126,041 while the 2-door Futura Sedan saw the fewest sales (albeit, still a very impressive figure) of 17,011. The Futura models were similar to the 2-door sedan but with a bucket seat interior and a center console.
The base engine was an overhead valve 144 cubic-inch six-cylinder unit delivering 65 horsepower. A 170 CID six was available, bringing horsepower to just over 100 horsepower. Transmission options included a three-speed synchromesh manual as standard equipment or an optional two-speed Ford-O-Matic.
The Ford Falcon served as an alternative to Ford's full-size cars, offering better fuel economy during the gas-supply era due to the Suez Crisis and recessions of the late 1950s. The Falcon was nearly three feet shorter than the full-size Fords and weighed considerably less. They were a blend of comfort and utility, with seating for up to six-passenger, plus their cargo. The Falcon entered a competitive market that included the Rambler American lines, Chevrolet's Corvair, Chrysler's Valiant, and Studebaker's Lark. Nonetheless, over one million Falcons were sold by 1962.

In 1955 the decision was made to launch an Australian-built Ford. At this time it was decided that Ford Australia would construct the Zephyr locally from the ground up instead of just assembly the parts that came by ship from Dagenham in the U.K. Ford Australia managing director Charles Smith decided in 1958 following a trip to the USA that the vehicle wasnt right for the local market. After seeing....
