G'day You are correct. It is a 1964 or 1965 XM series Falcon Hardtop. There were two trim levels, Falcon Deluxe and Falcon Futura (marginally fancier). This one is obviously non-original (paint and wheels) but looks pretty neat. There are a surprising number still on the roads and they age pretty well. The Falcon has been a continuous Ford product in Australia from September 1960 to the present day, selling most of that time as the second most popular car in the country. However falling sales have now endangered the Falcon and it is likely to cease production in the next year or two. It is routinely used as a taxi. Originally a pretty straight lift from the US Falcon, it diverged further and further away from about 1970. The mainstay motor has been a series of straight sixes, but other Ford engines, notably the Windsor 351, have been used. Falcons were raced extensively. Now for the real test; what is the car beside it? Cheers Graham

Problem was that you could buy a full-size Chevy wagon for a good deal less, and a full-size Chrysler Windsor wagon for only $200 more. Yeah, I guess that was one problem. Even though these things were just thinly veiled Studebakers, they had to still put up the ruse of it being a more prestigious car, so it was priced accordingly And most likely, few buyers fell for it. The Studebaker 4-door Provincial 258 V-8 wagon stickered for $2664 in '58 while the Packard wagon, which came with a 289 V-8, was $3384. The '58 Windsor wagon, which was 'downsized' that year to the shorter Dodge/DeSoto Firesweep wheelbase, started at $3616. The DeSoto Firesweep wagon started at $3266, while the Dodge 4-door wagons started as low as $2946. So yeah, in comparison, that Packard wasn't such a great deal.

Problem was that you could buy a full-size Chevy wagon for a good deal less, and a full-size Chrysler Windsor wagon for only $200 more. I recently saw one of these wagons, painted pink (!!) and I don't think you could have gotten a sheet of plywood in there. It's not a large car by any stretch. It certainly says "I'm different!' though.

certainly a 351 Ford (I would have no idea if it was cleveland or windsor), but it looks like a 71-73 Mustang.

Most of the cars that passed me had Ontario plates and most of them were white. That wasn't me speeding. All the charges were dropped, I deny the whole thing. On Sunday we were on the 401 which is our main highway to get to Windsor and across the border to the USA. I was surprised to see so many motor homes and trailers heading to the border and on to Florida. I guess a lot of people start to leave in mid October...not much point in being here after that. I have made a point of not speeding, trying to stop at all amber lights when possible, not getting upset at rude drivers. I find it is more enjoyable and stress free, if you just enjoy the ride. Good news you are enjoying your car so much
