1963 Ford Falcon Sprint

I saw a beautiful red one yesterday out cruising. I was smitten by the looks of the fastback roofline. I'm a sucker for a fastback roofline.

It looked like a mini nascar stocker (grand national back in those days, IIRC).

I briefly entertained the idea of looking one up and buying it but I remembered what American made cars handled steered and braked like in the sixties and immediately vetoed the idea!

They went in a straight line pretty well for sure!
