XA GT

STORY

The Australian Ford Falcon was Ford Australia's homegrown full-size sedan built from 1960 to 2016, evolving from a locally adapted American compact into a distinctly Australian large car. It became a national symbol and the main rival of the Holden Commodore, dominating Bathurst and Australian touring-car racing for decades. Rear-wheel-drive and available with inline-sixes and V8s, it was produced at Broadmeadows in Melbourne. In May 2013 Ford announced that it would stop making vehicles in Australia, and on 7 October 2016 a blue FG X XR6 sedan became the last Falcon and the last Australian-made Ford to leave the line, ending 91 years of local production and 56 years of the Falcon.
