thanks to Tom, I learned about the 65 Falcon Ranchero just now... here's some interesting info

the two-tone paint included the side spear

the 1964-style “hashmarks” on the rear of the quarter panels are correct for two-tone Rancheros for 1965

factory bucket seats

F code  2.80:1 Limited-Slip Axle 
A code 289 4 barrel 225 HP

Four-speed manual transmission

 no power steering or power brake

The top engine choice in the Falcon was the C-Code 289 two-barrel, but Ranchero and Sedan Delivery variants were available with the A-Code engine.

Thank you Tom!

300ZX Turbo 50th Anniversary

I've seen a lot of cars that can't move under their own power, but none owned by anyone stupid enough to let the cops see the proof that they were towed to where they are

Japan, Yokosuka Navy base, 1968, and a cool Falcon truck used by the ordinance dept

every couple of years, it seems someone finally convinces someone who's been sitting on a cool Falcon for decades, to sell it so they can flip it and get rich at auction, like this one owner 73 Falcon XA GT RPO 83, 4 spd stick shift, It's 1 of 120 built in 1973 - and a 70 Falcon GT

The Ford Falcon was a scaled-down version of the Ford Galaxie, and the best-selling compact car at that time (1960s)

The first compact car marketed by the American Big Three automobile manufacturers (though antedated by the Rambler American), the Falcon was the third car line introduced by Ford, following the full-sized Ford and the Ford Thunderbird.

In contrast to its competitors, the Falcon was developed as a scaled-down version of the full-size Ford Galaxie sedan. Through its production, the Falcon was offered in the same body styles as its full-sized Galaxie counterpart, including two-door and four-door sedans, two-door hardtops and convertibles, two-door and four-door station wagons (the former, serving as a basis of the final Ford sedan delivery), and coupe utility pickups (serving as the basis of the Ford Ranchero).

for a good old fashioned simple weekend afternoon movie, with no new cars, just pre 1964 vehicles, with Rock Hudson directed by Howard Hawks, on Amazon Prime Video

a 1958 Chevy Delray

1959 Ford F100

I sure didn't expect to see an NSU Prinz in a Hollywood movie

the character Rock Hudson is playing works for Abercrombie and Fitch, back when it was a sporting goods store, and maybe it was paid product placement, but the 63 Jeep Wagoneer was a good choice

His character is required to enter a fishing tournament, and to use everything in the store. 

nice little Honda 105 on the back

Fully loaded with all the neat camping stuff that 1963 could supply, all the classic good stuff

the AFC on the door is for Abercrombie and Fitch Company

the previous Honda 105, and a Honda Monkey
