The Falcon was a stodgy looking old lady sedan, but they shared engines with the Mustang models, and I think their curb weight was a bit lighter (the electrical system wasn’t the best either), so the Falcon would pretty much go like a raped ape. :’) I wouldn’t mind having one of the couple of those that ran through the hands of various family members back at that time.
One of my friends in high school had one of those falcons. His was pretty nice. It had a V-8, not sure which one and was also convertible.
There was this beautiful girl who rode the school bus with us and always would sit with me. After my friend got the convertible, he would stop by and pick her up every morning. They later got married.
He was actually a really good guy but darn I wished I had a nice car back then.
