🚗💨 THIS DAY IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY! 💨🚗
On September 2, 1959, Henry Ford II introduced the Ford Falcon, a new compact car designed to be practical, affordable, and fuel-efficient!
⛽ The Falcon was promoted as getting up to 30 miles per gallon—pretty impressive for the era!
The Falcon would go on to become an important part of Ford history, and its platform even helped pave the way for another little Ford you may have heard of… the Mustang! 🐎😎
