[Shotimes] Futura... was: If Ford Asked you ...

[Donald Mallinson]

The Futura was a very nice sport/luxury version of the 
Falcon, and the Falcon, believe it or not, was a decent 
little car in a time when little cars just didn't sell.

Decent 60's era Futura Falcons are sought after jewels of an 
era that didn't need little cars but made them anyway.  And 
then there were the few drag Falcons with the 427 that did 
the Thunderbolt one better!
