The Ford Falcon (XL) is a mid-size car which was produced by Ford Australia from 1962 to 1964. It was the second iteration of the first generation of the Falcon

Overview

The Falcon XL was introduced in August 1962,[1] replacing the Falcon XK which had been in production since 1960.[2] Visual changes from the XK included a new convex grille, bumper mounted park/turn lights, new taillights, and a revised, squared off roofline (on the sedans) which was promoted as the “Thunderbird roofline”.[3] Other changes included a new manual gearbox (although it was still a three-speed unit), new clutch, new starter motor, new air cleaner, new suspension system and a new carburettor.[3]

Both of the engines from the XK were retained; a Шаблон:Convert Falcon Six inline-six, which produced Шаблон:Convert and an optional Шаблон:Convert version of the Falcon Six, which produced Шаблон:Convert.[4] Pricing started at £1,070 ($2,140 AUD) for a base model Falcon.[5]

Model range

The Falcon XL range included four-door sedan and five-door station wagons.[6] The luxury Futura Sedan and Squire Wagon models were new for the XL series,[3] the latter featuring simulated woodgrain side and rear panels.[7] Commercial vehicle derivatives were available in two-door coupe utility and two-door panel van body styles with the latter marketed as the Falcon Sedan Delivery.[8]

Models were marketed as follows:

  • Falcon Sedan[9]
  • Falcon Deluxe Sedan[9]
  • Falcon Futura Sedan[9][10]
  • Falcon Station Wagon[9]
  • Falcon Deluxe Wagon[9]
  • Falcon Squire Wagon[9]
  • Falcon Utility[11]
  • Falcon Deluxe Utility[11]
  • Falcon Sedan Delivery[12]

Production

The Falcon XL was replaced by the Ford Falcon (XM) in February 1964,[13] production having totalled 75,765 units.[1]
