Falcons

The Falcon Owners Club had their annual convention in the hotel I work at. Here's some highlights,

The purple bus in the background is the one I hit the deer with.

Some interior pics, highlighting the steel dash and 3-on-the-tree, please.

My first car was a '65 Falcon I inherited from my sister, who inherited it from mom. Back in Northbrook, I could get that puppy up on two wheels making the turn on Voltz Road by the forest preserve. Good times!

I'm surprised to see so many in one place. I thought that they would all rust away.

Alas, I have no interior pictures. It was 7:15 in the morning and I had just finished a long night. Never even thought about interiors.

One of the things they did was to take one of our buses to a local junkyard excuse me, automotive parts dismantling and recycling center, that has tons of 50's and 60's cars. One of the guys actually bought a car there. I guess the count was over 200 cars present. Over 700 members attended. I hear next year they're holding it in Sacramento.

So many excellent restorations and hot rods, but this one appeals to me the most.

Best trailer ever!

I almost wish I'd bought the one that was for sale a year or so ago down the road from me.

It was a nice looking, and running car, and only $3500.

Alas, my Jeep GAS forbid it.

Now my Jeep fund sucks, and I don't have a Jeep, or a Falcon. :(

Lots of nice cars there. My dad had a Falcon when I was a teenager. It ended up being a shared car for me and my siblings until my idiot brother totaled it. Thanks for the pics!

those are cool pics. falcons/comets were pretty cool little cars.
but....ummm.....that white one (license COSMIC 1) that ain't no falcon. that's a fairlane/cyclone. and it looks like it's got a 427 in it.

Wow, never would have thought there were that many of them on the road still.

Our family car in the early 60's was a Falcon wagon. Black with red interior.
