Hemmings Find of the Day – 1962 Ford Falcon

Published by Mike on October 26, 2013

As originally purchased, this 1962 Ford Falcon for sale on Hemmings.com – like pretty much every other Ford Falcon built – was considered nothing more than a daily driver, something rock simple and inexpensive and certainly not to be glorified as a collector car. And as we see from the photos and description, it could very well fill that exact same role today, more than 50 years later. From the seller’s description:

This car is truly rust free top to bottom inside and out. The original trim and moldings are all there and in great shape. The car runs and drives very nice and reliably, all the gauges and lights work and the glass is perfect. It has a new factory fuel tank, original 170 six and a fordomatic transmission and either of them leak a drop. The brake are just as nice too. The transmission shifts perfect and the paint is still as smooth as glass. It was owned by a doctors grandmother and he bought it from her to go to school back in the day. It was a California car and a Montana car and there are two mathching Callifornia plates on the car so it can be licenced with the old plates. The car makes you feel like it is 1962 when you drive it.
