Australia's most successful car has to be the Ford Falcon. It has been on our roads since 1960, making it the longest running nameplate of any Australian car. It is also the only remaining Australian designed and built car.
Falcons have always appealed to a wide range of people including families, people who appreciate power, size and versatility, and people who need to tow. It also serves as a popular fleet vehicle, and it's the car of choice amongst taxi companies and the police force.
Falcon is a testament to Aussie ingenuity. Ford is able to make each new model last up to ten years, whilst constantly adding new innovations and keeping the cars fresh and competitive.
The XK Falcon is the car that started it all.
An American design, it suffered on Australian roads, but all was fixed and after a few updates, the XP began to sell in large numbers to both the public and fleets.
The next major update was the XR Falcon; it is notable for being the first Falcon GT. These cars featured the "coke-bottle" hipline, and were available with V8 power. A mid-life update - XW Falcon - changed the appearance significantly.
Next up was the XA Falcon of 1972, which introduced big, bold styling, and these cars typified Australia at the time. They brought some new technology and better safety.
The innovative XD Falcon became square-shaped, the trend at the time. Due to new materials, it was smaller and lighter but still had just as much interior room as the last model.
This series of cars saw the demise of the V8 and the introduction of Electronic Fuel Injection.
More modern than ever before, the rounded EA Falcon lead Ford into the nineties. The E-series Falcons brought many new technologies and innovations, as well as safety items such as ABS brakes and standard airbags. The Falcon was considered the best value-for-money family car in the world.
The AU Falcon brought controversial "edge" styling which was polarising and spoilt an otherwise excellent package. But, as in the past, Ford managed to greatly change the car in a mid-life upgrade, for the better.
The signs point to the new BA Falcon taking back the number one spot, having already taken out several awards and with sales figures rising. Even so, it is already Australia's best car.
