Additional Info: "In the beginning, Ford created the Falcon. And the Falcon was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the dealerships. And the spirit of Ford moved upon the face of the highways. And Ford said, let there be Mustangs, and there were Mustangs. And Ford saw the Mustang, that it was good: and Ford divided the Mustang from the darkness."​

These really are lovely, especially the 2 door.

I happened to watch the re-run of F&L last night with the Falcon they built in to a 'race car'... so nice.

Cool.
 
Cool. Not 'in-your-face' styling, but not too subtle as arresting to look at.

I love the estate variation myself.
 
Sub-zero because it's a very nice and iconic '60s car.

Note: I think you accidentally put a Ford Econoline in the spoiler in the OP.
 
Not much to look at but not offensive. Engines aren't much to shout about but they're sufficient for it's era.

Gains points for providing the base of the Mustang. Meh.
 
As a European, the updated '64 Falcon is cooler. Although not officially sold here, I dont think, it was successful in rallying and racing in Sprint trim and continues to be so now in Historic racing. This still gets a solid cool.
