I was watching the Tampa local news this morning and they showed a 1962 or 1963 Falcon being stopped for speeding. It wasn't me!

Not exactly why you want your Falcon on tv.

This article that mentions rear facing seats and shows an early 60's Falcon wagon. The tail lights look different, is it a Mercury? I didn't know that Falcon wagons ever had an extra seat in back.

That would be a 62 wagon in the photo based on the tail lights. I do remember growing up with a wagon with a rear facing seat back that but it wasn't a Falcon. I'm pretty sure the Falcon never had that option. That wouldn't have prevented parents from letting kids ride back there anyway. It was safer back thenOriginally Posted by ew1usnr
. We could never get away with that today.

This is a great review of a 1960 Falcon. I like the song at the very end: "She's automatic. So automatic. She just has two speeds."

Thanks, that was fun to watch. I didn't think it would be good but after watching for a few minutes I could not take my eyes off the review! Makes me want to go out and buy another Falcon!!!!!This is a great review of a 1960 Falcon. I like the song at the very end: "She's automatic. So automatic. She just has two speeds."

I know I mentioned once before here that if you like MY FAVORITE MARTIAN and you like Falcons, this is the episode to watch, plenty of '63 Falcon convertible scenes, especially at the 13 minute mark but best to watch the entire episode as the car appears in many scenes:
