1964 Ford Falcon -- Description

The Ford Falcon was an automobile which was produced by the Ford from 1960 to 1970 across three generations. It was a sales success for Ford initially outselling rival compacts from Chrysler and Motors introduced at the same time. A redesign changed the Falcon's looks for 1964. The new look was more squared-off more modern as Ford pursued the youth market. Later in 1964 Ford's new offering for that market was launched: the Ford Mustang based heavily on the Falcon's unitized frame design but wit...h no compromises about its youthful fun intention. TV commercials now used the character Hazel as well as the Peanuts cartoon characters. For the 1964 year Ford added a Sprint Package which gave the Falcon the 260 V8 a stiffer suspension and a louder exhaust. Because the Mustang had the same options that the Sprint had for only a small amount more the Sprint never caught on. Even with the addition of the 289 V8 in late '64 the Sprint was overshadowed by the Mustang and was discontinued after 1965. The Mustang dealt Falcon sales in North America a blow from which they would never recover. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1964 Ford Falcon for consideration.
