A bit of history on the Australian Ford Falcons, the first XK model of 1960 is shown in the above photo:-
The very first Aussie Falcon left the Ford factory in June 1960. The last Falcon is number 3,578,689, a number that includes sedans, wagons, utes and panel vans built over more than 56 years of production, making the Falcon Australia’s longest running nameplate.
In its heyday, Falcon sold in numbers large enough to top Australian sales sheets. The biggest single year of Falcon sales came in 1995 where the changeover from EF to EL garnered 89,679 sales for the Blue Oval, including 81,366 sedans, 6922 utes and 1391 vans.
