My falcon's engine is a 289, I have bucket seats, center console Half of the car's original paint was gold, and half of it is aqua; the interior is turquoise. My vin plate said it has bench seats, a 260 engine, and should be red with black interior. Go figure. I also had/have the chrome and emblems for at least 2 different cars.
Description:

The Ford Falcon was an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from 1960 through 1970. It was manufactured in the USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico and Chile. It was a huge sales success for Ford initially, handily outselling rival compacts from Chrysler and General Motors introduced at the same time. During its lifespan, the Falcon was offered a wide range of body styles: two-door and four-door sedans, two and four door station wagons, two door hardtops, convertibles, and a sedan delivery and the Ranchero pickup. For several years, the Falcon name was also used on passenger versions of the Ford Econoline van.

Assembly: Lorain, OH
In the forty seven years it existed, Ford's Lorain Assembly Plant produced 12 different nameplates. Most of these models are very well known to Ford Motor Company's rich history.

Operations began in 1958 producing F150 trucks. While a variety of passenger car models were produced in Lorain (Fairlanes, Galaxies, Falcons, and finally Thunderbirds) the plant is most known for its light truck and van production, such as the Ford Econoline.

The Lorain assembly plant closed Dec 2005, with operations transferred to Avon Lake.
