My collection is primarily 1960's/70's European sports cars but I couldn't resist recently taking this fun Ford Falcon beach wagon/movie car in trade from another collector. This car doesn't really fit with my collection so I'm offering it up for sale now. Wow, does this Falcon get attention just driving around town.
This 1964 Ford Falcon 4-door station wagon lived it's entire life in Texas and Florida before being sold to the previous owner in Virginia a year ago. It is clean and rust free except for a very small (size of a nickel) surface spot on the lower end of the rear tailgate. I believe the car was originally all white but the lower part was painted gray. While the photos look great, this is not a show car- it looks lived in with a nice patina that I would keep if I was the next owner. In person the gray is a bit darker than shown in the photos- which were taken this week in bright sunlight. It is, in my mind, a very cool, very rare, surf wagon that will hold it's own next to all the VW Busses on your next cruise to the shore. I'd call it a 20 footer with the usual small dings and marks of a car that has been driven...that said, it would certainly not look out of place at any car show or cruise-in. Chrome is nice all around including the optional Falcon roof rack...The glass is very good all around. The interior, I am assuming, was redone at some point, but looks very original and is very clean. Carpet is dark gray and in very good shape. There are lap belts front and back. All gauges work except for the left turn signal. This wagon has an electric rear window which goes up and down as it should, but sometimes sticks for a second or two. All windows crank as they should, and all doors close tight. Tires are good wide whites with maybe 50% tread left mounted on standard 13 inch rims. The car runs great. It's not fast... but who is in a hurry? ...you're getting the very durable 200 CID 6 cylinder engine mated to the Ford Falcon 2 speed automatic transmission. The odometer and title have about 131,000 miles and I believe it to be accurate. All motor fluids were serviced last fall and less than 500 miles ago. Some nice extra's are included for the new owner: Original 1964 owners manual, 1964 Ford shop manual, the original cylinder head (red), Ford rear mats and a spare original Ford AM radio. The car currently has a neat repro (modern made to look old) am/fm radio with dash top speaker. If all that isn't enough, this Falcon Wagon has the added cache of having had a minor role in a famous movie- "The Rookie", starring Dennis Quaid in 2002. It's the true story of a Texas HS baseball coach who gets a second chance at the major leagues (Google it). In fact, one of the reasons the previous two owners resisted doing any additional cosmetic work on the car is that it still looks exactly as it did in the movie and why mess with a good thing. During a shot from the movie you can see the Falcon towing a small u-haul trailer. I was told the Disney company beefed up the rear end a bit as a result. Otherwise, the car was sold by Disney after use in the movie to an earlier owner in Florida, before it came to Virginia. There's a custom front license plate that you can see in the photo's identifying the car as the same one that was in the movie. Oh... the surf board doesn't go with the car but if you want it- let me know and we can work something out. Also listed for sale locally so the listing may be ended at any time. |

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
