50 Years' Worth (http://www.mustangandfords.com/eventcoverage/mdmp_1104_falcon_club_of_americas_fantastic_50th_e vent/index.html)As one of those "seasoned" enough to personally remember its rollout, it's chronologically depressing to realize that Ford's fine-feathered Falcon turned 50 years old in 2010. Still, any half-century anniversary is good reason for a party, so the Falcon Club of America decided to schedule last summer's annual Nationals event in Dearborn, fittingly enough in a location directly across the Southfield Freeway from Ford World Headquarters. There, over the span of three uncharacteristically hot and humid Michigan July days, FCA president Chuck Beason and the Metro Detroit Chapter welcomed home more than 300 pre-registered Falcons, spanning the sporty compact's amazingly diverse model lineup from 1960 through 19701/2. They also made this Modified Mustangs & Fords correspondent feel very welcome. My main task there was to digitally capture some feature-worthy modified Falcons-which you'll see in upcoming issues-but what follows here is a sampling of the broad selection of cars on hand.
