Fisheye Ford.

D3100/Samyang 8mm.

This Ford from Ford Performance Vehicles belongs to a friend. He wasn't keen on having these pics taken because he had just driven 300 miles & the front was fairly splattered with squashed insects.

This version is a Turbo 6, but they are also available with a V8. The 6 & 8 put out about the same power & torque, but the 6, being lighter at the front, does handle a tad better. Please feel free to download.

Pretty little car, squashed bugs and all. You're an expert with your fisheye, Earl. I can't wait to practice with mine at the vintage car show next month.

I wasn't aware Ford was building car these days called a Falcon. Here in the states that name was abandoned in the 60's. Thanks for sharing.

In the early sixties, our Falcons were similar to the US Falcons. You guys discontinued the name, but the Aussie Falcon grew in size & became our standard family sized Ford to this day. The latest Aussie Falcons are roughly the size of an Impala & weigh around 4,000lb. In the seventies, the Aussie Falcon GTHO was the fastest mass produced four door sedan in the world. Unfortunately (IMO), the 'good ole cars' have been largely ousted by little 4 cylinder buzz boxes these days. I don't set a good example--I sold my '72 De Ville a few months ago & now drive a 4 cylinder Toyota, lol.

Brings back memories. My dad had a Falcon, I think it was a '61. It was a 4 cylinder with a stick shift.
