1964 Ford Falcon Two-Door Sedan

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Replete with “Total Performance” bravado, the Ford Falcon returned for 1964 with a mature and contemporary redesign. The Falcon kept its 109.5-inch wheelbase but marginally grew in length, width, and weight, with chiseled features and a slanted grille. Ford’s dealer brochure boasted, “The economy that made Falcon famous ... plus new style, comfort and the plushest ride ever built into a compact car!” The 1964 Ford Falcon two- and four-door sedans continued to represent Ford utility in true form, displaying squared-off rooflines and little ornamentation.  All told, there were 17 Falcon models, five engine choices, and four transmission options — something for just about every consumer.

Falcon’s tried-and-true Falcon Six with 85 horsepower continued to march on, as did the 101-hp 170 Special Six, a stroked version of the 144 cu-in six. A three-speed manual transmission was standard for the smaller six-cylinder models, but buyers could pay up for a two-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic, like the original owner of this 1964 Two-Door Sedan did. In addition, the car is now powered by a 250 cu-in six.
