It's not every day that people in the real world get handed down the keys to a brand-new-car. (http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/falcon/mdmp_1302_1963_ford_falcon_four_door_sedan/)Reality check. Despite what television's Hollyweird network drivel might have you believe, not many folks in the real world get handed the keys to a brand-new car when they reach driving age. Most just carry on and trundle off to high school on foot, by bicycle or bus (ask this author how he knows.) To most teenagers, the gift of any car would be a major score, and Erik Fuerst was one such fortunate son who received hand-me-down transportation from his mother in the form of her '63 Falcon four-door sedan. Mind you, Erik wasn't even born until 1984, so the six-cylinder, two-speed automatic compact was more than a bit road weary by the time he took possession in 2000. But that didn't matter in the least; Erik was geeked: "I was brought up with classic cars, specifically Falcons," he says. "Some of my most cherished childhood memories involve car shows, Falcon national conventions, and time spent working on Falcons."
