Ford Falcons in South America


1982 Ford Falcon from Argentina

The Ford Falcon was released in the United States in 1959 as a 1960 model and was one of Ford's early "world cars" before anyone knew what that was. By the early 60's Falcons were being built in several markets, including Australia, where the name plate still lives on and South America. But in most markets, the Falcon evolved paralel to the US version. In Argentina it did not. The same basic car from 1962 was offered until at least 1991. The website link above is to a spanish language site, but if you want to translate it go to www.babelfish.altavista.com and enter www.todofalcon.com.ar/ Check the pictures below to see the evolution.
