The 1962 Ford Falcon, while lacking a V8 engine, certainly didn’t skimp on style with its new “Futura” trim level. Mid-year, Ford threw in a four-speed manual transmission to spice things up, alongside the three-speed manual and two-speed automatic. With eight body styles to choose from, Ford was like a kid in a candy shop, eagerly poised to launch a V8 version. It’s as if the Falcon was revving up for a joyride—just without the extra cylinders!
The 1962 Ford Falcon is not available with a V8 this year, although the more uptown trim level “Futura” is added to the option list, Mid-way through the ’62 model year the Falcon could be ordered with a four speed manual transmission in addition to the basic 3 speed manual or the two speed automatic. There are eight body styles on the table in’62 and Ford is poised to lanch a V8 version, wanting to maximize returns on the very successful Falcon.
