That's a neat advert. Thank you.
I had the '62 Ranchero. Marvelous tool. A local owner of a similar car
had taken the top off a station wagon and made a tonneau cover for the
bed of his.
I never saw asedan delivery, that I remember, but have an Aussie
"Trax" model of one, as well as one of the the Ranchero, and several
station wagons. And one Argentinian "Buby" model of a Falcon sedan.
They were apparently made there at least as late as 1973.
"The Falcon model was presented by Ford in 1960 as a contribution to
the 'compact car' tendency of that time. By reason of its conservative
design, Ford Motors of Argentina produced it for almost 30 years,
period which included plenty of stylling changes and improvements in
its performance. This model represents a '73 version, which make it a
unique Ford worldwide."

I have a couple of Sedan Delivery photos from
alt.binaries.pictures.autos, but they are beyond reach at the moment.
