They don't rust out there, that's for sure. Friend's father had a 65 Beetle he bought brand new, he kept that thing in showroom condition, last time I saw it was 5 or so years ago, he had just had the hubcaps and other chrome pieces restored! Original paint. Pea green.... |

They were fast but they handled like a grocery cart full of concrete. Oh, good god..... They real POS. NCR had a fleet of Falcon station wagons in 1963. Edsel Ford was on our BOD. Paint came off, had to add outside oilers to the lifters. Same problem and fix my 1956 Ford Convertible had. A double 90 degree oil passage via the head gasket, that plugged with the least amount of deposit. Plus very poor brakes. Also, sense we were in Calif, a lot of the cars previously sold here did not have heaters. Luckily the government required defrosters in 1963 and therefore the Falcon had a heater. |

Wow... 63... memories of being on a school bus in like third grade and seeing my mom and her 63 falcon bloody and smashed up in an intersection... They wouldn't let me off the bus, I went nuts, it got bad.... |
