The Ford Falcon (XM) is a mid-size car that was produced by Ford Australia between February 1964 and February 1965. It was the third iteration of the first generation of the Ford Falcon.

Overview

The XM series Falcon range was introduced in February 1964, as a replacement for the XL series Falcon.[1] The XM featured around 1,500 modifications from the XL, including numerous changes to the suspension which now featured stronger ball joints, new front upper wishbones, coil-over shock units and relocated rear spring-hangers. Also new were bigger axle shafts and tougher engine mounts. The vacuum operated windscreen wipers of the XL series were replaced by a two-speed electric motor unit and the seats were stronger with better quality upholstery.[2] Unlike previous Australian Falcons, the XM represented a significant departure from the contemporary US Ford Falcon models in terms of exterior styling.[2]

Both of the engines from the XK and XL Falcons were retained, albeit with a small power increase for both engines; 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.[3] For higher specification models, such as the Deluxe trim, a Шаблон:Convert version of the Falcon Six was available for the first time (often referred to as the Super Pursuit engine),[4] and produced Шаблон:Convert.[5] The 170 engine was also made the standard engine for the top-spec Futura models.[6]

A two-door hardtop body style was added to the range in July 1964.[7] It was offered in Falcon Deluxe Hardtop and Falcon Futura Hardtop trim levels, with the 170 cubic inch "Pursuit 170" engine as standard equipment and the 200 cubic inch "Super Pursuit" available as an option on both models.[8]
