(1964-1965) The second generation 1964 Falcon, launched in 1963,
featured revised, more squared-off styling. Later in the 1964 model
year, Ford's new offering for that market was launched: the Ford
Mustang, based heavily on the Falcon's unified frame design. TV
commercials now used the character Hazel as well as the Peanuts
cartoon characters. The Ford Motor Company was a sponsor of the
show, and also sponsored The Ford Show during the late 1950s. [15]
For the 1964 year, Ford added a Sprint Package, which gave the
Falcon the Fairlane's 260 V8, a stiffer suspension, and a louder
exhaust. Because the Mustang had the same options that the Sprint
had for only a small amount more, the Sprint never caught on. Even
with the addition of the 289 V8 in late 1964, the Sprint was
overshadowed by the Mustang, and was discontinued after 1965. The
Mustang dealt Falcon sales in North America a blow from which they
would never recover. Front suspension was coil springs
pivot-mounted on upper arms plus double- acting absorbers. [14]
Six-cylinder cars had four-lug hubs with 13-in steel wheels. V- 8
cars got five-lug wheels. For 1965, changes were minimal, including
a simpler grille and revised side trim on deluxe models. Production
ended on June 26, 1965, for convertible Falcons. A padded
instrument panel, power steering, power brakes, a radio, a
remote-control trunk release, and a parking brake warning light
were optional. [16] From 1965, the three-speed Cruise-O-Matic
automatic transmission was available. Front seat belts were
standard. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our
