Vehicle Description
Ford knew that not all people who bought a compact were willing to
miss out on premium features. For those who desire style and
comfort with their lightweight cars, there was the 1964 Ford Falcon
Futura convertible.
The Falcon has really come into its own in the classic car market.
No longer just the car that fathered the Mustang, the sensible
style has matured into an instantly recognizable profile. In fact,
these second-generation Falcons seemed to strike a nice balance
between American flair and European sensibilities, and the Vintage
Burgundy paint represents this perfectly. After all, the deeper hue
has the attractiveness of red, but a more sophisticated tone that
makes this drop top look more refined. But then you also get those
true American touches like the extra wide chrome bumpers, bright
factory wheel covers, and Futura-specific aggressive side streak
trim that looks like an arrow pointing this Falcon forward.
With the flick of a switch the power convertible top opens this
Falcon to the world. So if you like the way the black roof looks
against the burgundy paint, then you'll like the black interior
even better. Bucket seats with a center console are what we all
want in a classic '60s machine, and these look like there has been
all the right care and investment over the years. That's why the
ribbed texture is crisp, and it's complete, right down to the
insignia trim. In fact, speaking of trim, just like the exterior,
the bright trim is plentiful and tasteful. You see it in the
console, door panels, and sweeping across the dash. You slip behind
the factory-style wheel, and the extra long speedo flanked by
secondary gauges instantly reminds you of its Mustang sibling.
The inline-six motor has the kind of honest appearance that people
love at car shows these days. In fact, this one is already a local
award winner, and we bet the tidy setup has a lot to do with that.
The bold color on the block, valve cover, and air topper radiate
nicely from within the dark engine bay. And this one looks correct,
right down to the FoMoCo coolant retention bag. Since you have
complete control over it all with a four-speed, manual
transmission, this lightweight Falcon has a nice amount of extra
spring in its step going down the road.
This Falcon Futura is that fun and affordable classic drop top
that's turn-key ready to put a smile on your face. But you're not
the only one who recognizes a good value, so don't miss out. Call
