Ford Pictures: 1960 to 1969

Rear fender fins became history in the early 60's. For the 1960 model year Ford introduced the compact Falcon to keep the full sized car and the Thunderbird company in the dealers showroom. The mid-sized Fairlane would arrive in 1962 and the sporty Mustang in 1964.

Fords got a radically restyled new body for 1960. This, top of the line Country Squire station wagon shows the new design off well.
