1962 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery

The Falcon Sedan Delivery debuted in 1961 as a commercial offshoot of the Falcon station wagon, retaining the car's lightweight unibody construction and compact dimensions. It featured a solid cargo area in place of rear seats and side windows, making it ideal for small businesses that needed an economical, easy-to-maneuver delivery vehicle.

This particular Falcon is finished in Nevada Beige, a period-correct hue that complements its classic design. The exterior showcases chrome front and rear bumpers, a distinctive chrome grille, and Falcon Fast Delivery vinyl graphics, adding a touch of vintage flair. Chrome accents, including exterior mirrors, door handles, and trim, enhance its timeless aesthetic. The electric rear window adds functionality to the wagon's design. Rolling on 14-inch Cragar chrome wheels wrapped in BF-Goodrich Radial tires with white lettering, it exudes a subtle yet assertive stance. Upgraded cross-drilled front disc brakes and rear drums ensure improved stopping power.

Under the hood lies a 302 cubic inch (4.9-liter) V8 engine, a notable upgrade from the original inline-six engines offered in 1962. This powerplant features an Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley carburetor, aluminum heads, and an aluminum radiator, contributing to enhanced performance and reliability. The engine's power is managed by a 4-speed manual transmission equipped with a Hurst shifter, providing an engaging driving experience. An 8-inch posi rear end ensures efficient power delivery to the rear wheels.

The inside has been thoughtfully updated with grey velour bucket seats and brown carpeting, offering a comfortable and inviting cabin. The painted dashboard matches the exterior, maintaining a cohesive look, while a 3-spoke wood steering wheel with a chrome center adds a touch of elegance. A Sun Super RPM tachometer mounted on the dash provides the driver with essential engine information. The vinyl headliner and grey rubber floor mats contribute to the interior's clean and classic appearance. The interior restoration was completed in April 2013 by Frank's Custom Upholstery in Burlington, WA, ensuring attention to detail and quality craftsmanship.

This Falcon Sedan Delivery has a well-documented history, with previous ownership records dating back to 1985. The consignor acquired the vehicle five years ago from Pacific Classics, and service invoices on file attest to its maintenance and care. A clean Washington title accompanies the vehicle, reflecting its well-preserved status.
