I will try to describe this car  best as I can.  This is  a very restorable  vehicle.....The  body is in good  conditon...no major  damage or rust.  The only rust through I could see was  two small holes  on the hood, which IMO  could be easily fixed with a MIG ......fenders, doors,  quarters,  tailgate  good  condition......I  didn't  crawl under car  but  there will be some floor work required but I dont think a total replacement.

Overall rust is not a major  issue .. The  rust you see in the photo is 99.9%  surface rust.

All the  glass is in the car  except  the  passenger vent  window and all is in good condition.....Front seat is missing but  I believe a  two door  Falcon  coupe has same  seat...rear seat is there...instrument panel good  condition...

All the trim is on the car,  One trim  piece. on the upper  rear left quarter looks like somebody was  bending it on purpose.....some  dings in other trim but not bad and can be fixed.....  Since it is  stainless a professional could  restore all pieces...one piece would take  considerable work. the other only minor work..

Engine is a  six  banger, with a three on the tree  tranny...believe it or not this  car was  a  good running vehicle when parked about 40 years ago....hood has never been up since then so no water got on the engine...the oil is clean in the engine......I would almost bet that  it would  start with new points, plugs  wires  and carb  rebuild...Remember it has been sitting in  a  fairly dry environment jn Oklahoma...

I was going to haul this back to Florida but when I went to get it  I had with me 14 inch tires  and  discovered that it has 13 inch four lug rims...that is why it is on blocks as I  took three of the wheels off to get tires mounted.......i am almost sure the brake drums will be  difficult to turn since it has been sitting for  a  long time and possible they will require replacement,  I picked up a  57 Dodge  same  day I  bought this and had to cut the brake drums off....Chances are  the drums will have to be replaced anyway on the Falcon....\\

.  Fortunately the  dry Oklahoma  weather didn't  take it's  toll on this  collectible  car and although the surface rust makes it look rough, it really is not.......  Had it been down here in Florida with me it would be  a rust bucket......whew.....It will require a little work to get the brake drums to turn and  load this car on a trailer.  Also the  rear springs will need to be replaced as a couple of the leafs are broken.  This I understand was  a major  problem on  early Falcons  because they are  only 2 inches  wide.  I believe  in 64  they  put the 2.5 inch  mustang type springs on Falcons....a  good move on  Ford's  part......The  car can be  loaded and trailered but those springs will have to be  replaced. I have  found  repo springs for about $100...........

I will deliver  this  car to anywhere in just about the  whole southeast  for  the cost of  $1  a mile from it's current location.  I will not  deliver north of  Oklahoma or west of  Oklahoma......  Draw a line from Oklahoma City to  Tallahassee  FL and I will deliver  anywhere close to that...  otherwise it is LOCAL PICKUP only......Remember it will require  some brake drum work....I have three 13 inch tires  in the car but they need  to be mounted.  Best thing would be to bring four  good  four lug  ford  rims with tires and  a  trailer... Once  again  I will not arrange shipping other  than where I have stated. It would be up to you to go get the car or arrange shipping.   Since it will be hard to load take that into consideration BEFORE you bid.........  The  car is located in Ada, Oklahoma

I do not have  a title  but can  get one  for  an additional  $250  over the  selling price.  It  belonged to my uncle last and the Oklahoma  DMV said it cost  that  much to get a duplicate  title....... It will take  a  couple weeks to do that  after the sale of the car...otherwise you will get a  bill of sale and you can obtain your own title.  Different states have different rules and cost for obtaining a title for non titled  car...again take that into consideration BEFORE you bid....

This is a  rare Falcon..I have not seen another one in  a long time ...This  wagon is five times as rare as a  two door coupe and the least produced of all the Falcon  lines.......two doors  are very desireable ......I  love the looks of the  windows in ths car.............

I can be reached at  850 377 8472 with any  questions or send me an email..  I will accept pay pal for deposit and it is NON REFUNDABLE  due with two days of sale...full price due within a week.....no exceptions..... I am honest you be honest  with me.......

Trucks, SUVs drive U.S. October new vehicle sales

Wed, Nov 1 2017

DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. new vehicle sales in October on Wednesday, though America's love affair with high-margin pickup trucks and SUVs remained in full bloom as larger, pricier vehicles fared better than passenger cars. Auto industry publication WardsAuto put the seasonally-adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) for light vehicle sales in October at a robust level of 18 million units. But after a long boom cycle, carmakers are still ill-prepared for the slight decline in sales anticipated for full-year 2017 and have taken too few steps to trim production, said Doug Mehl, a partner in consultancy A.T. Kearney's automotive practice. "When you make a new vehicle, you have volume assumptions tagged to it, and who wants to be the guy who says, 'I'm going to make less of this really cool model'?" Mehl said. "But eventually the market is the reality, and it's going to force companies one way or other here." General Motors GM reported a sales drop of 2.2 percent for the month, with consumer sales down 6.6 percent. But sales of high-margin pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and crossovers all rose. GM also cut its inventory of unsold vehicles — a source of concern for the market — slightly. The automaker has worked to reduce its volume of excess inventory, including through significant production shutdowns in the third quarter. GM had said its inventory would rise in October. "We are heading into the fourth quarter with good momentum, thanks to a strong U.S. economy and very strong pickup and crossover sales," said Kurt McNeil, GM vice president for U.S. sales operations. GM slightly reduced consumer discounts as a percentage of average transaction prices to 13.5 percent, from 13.7 percent in the third quarter. Industry experts believe consumer discounts above 10 percent of the average transaction price are unhealthy as they erode resale values and are unsustainable in the long term. Consultants J.D. Power and LMC said last week that based on preliminary October sales numbers, discounts have exceeded 10 percent in 15 of the past 16 months. Ford The U.S. auto industry posted record sales of 17.55 million vehicles in 2016. New sales received a strong boost in September as consumers replaced vehicles damaged in southeast Texas by Hurricane Harvey the previous month. Full-year 2017 sales are expected to be slightly lower than 2016.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.

Updated Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator caught in new spy photos

Mon, Oct 26 2020

Face-lifted Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator prototypes were spotted in the wild Monday wearing fairly extensive camouflage disguising updated bodywork for the 2022 model year. Ford's two body-on-frame offerings (BOFferings? Nope. Pretend that didn't happen.) are both due for a nip and tuck, and with GM's fresh slate of full-sizers now available, the timing couldn't be more perfect.  There's not much we can discern from this Navigator prototype. The camo does a good job of masking whatever Lincoln has in store for the nose, but the tailgate has some discernible updates, including a significantly more pronounced recess for the license plate that also appears to be mounted higher on the hatch. This would likely indicate that the rear lighting scheme is getting an overhaul, as there doesn't appear to be enough room between the lower edge of the glass and the plate for the current scheme to be preserved.  The Expedition, on the other hand, has quite a bit going on. For starters, this prototype is not sporting the chrome-and-polish look we've come to associate with these often-blingy SUVs. Instead, we see a set of Goodyear Wrangler all-terrains on what appear to be 18" wheels, which are positively dwarfed by the turbine-style wheels on the Lincolns. Leaning even harder into the off-road theme, this prototype is not wearing the scalloped front air dam seen on other Expeditions. While it may have been removed for testing purposes, its absence (or replacement) would certainly do wonders for the big SUV's approach angle. Elsewhere, we can see what appear to be a new set of tail lights, and it would be safe to assume based on the camo that we'll see new front and rear bumper treatments.  We can also see a bit of the Expedition's interior, and there are quite a few things to note on this front. For starters, the prominent, vertically oriented infotainment screen takes after the Mustang Mach-E's unit. This is significant not only on spec, but also because it signals that the Expedition's interior will be departing more significantly from that of the F-150.  Related Video:
