Ford Falcon - Black and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad that introduces the new Compact Car from Ford. The headline begins "Suppose you were designing a new Compact Car - would you think of all these things". The text wanders through the thought process about deciding about size and other factors and ends by mentioning some of the features that Ford feels will make the Falcon worth buying. The ad contains a four-panel comic strip with Charlie Brown and Lucy from the Peanuts comics. Charlie is saying to Lucy "I'd like to shake the hand of the man who designed the Falcon". He continues by musing "What taste, what imagination he has..." and repeats "I'd sure like to shake his hand!". An angry Lucy barks back "Did you ever consider it might be a woman?". |

Ford Falcon Black and white 10" x 13" ad for the Ford Compact Car. The top picture in the ad is a slightly out-of-focus picture of a semi hauling five covered cars down the other side of the highway and the headline under it says "The bigger the compact car field gets...". The next picture shows the tail end of that same semi and, on this side of the road, is a shiny Four Door Ford Falcon with the headline saying "...the better Falcon looks!". The text makes the claims of 30 miles on a gallon, 4,000 miles between oil changes while never needing to be waxed. It talks about the optional 170 Special Engine, the price lower than other low prices and warranties of 12,000 or 12 months, whichever comes first. There is a Charles Schultz drawing of Charlie Brown talking to Linus with Charlie sayig the same thing the headline does causing Linus to reply, "That's poetry". | October 24, 1960 Life magazine |

He continues to badger Linus with the need to know and poor Linus is only able to respond "Prestidigitation?". The text, with an overhead picture of a man getting into his Light-Colored Falcon, gives some figures about how much less it will cost to buy one and how much more you will get when you trade it in. |

Falcon Squire - Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for the Quiet and Comfort that you will experience when traveling in this Ford Economy Station Wagon. There is a picture of early evening and a Blue Wood-Trimed Falcon Squire is parked in the driveway of a white two-story house. The mother has arrived at the front door with the suitcases and Daddy is holding stuffed animals and a sleepy child as he leaves the roomy back-end of the car. The text, which consists of the thoughts of the child, says "Daddy thinks I'm asleep. That's why he's making like our new '64 Falcon Squire. Real quiet, smooth and sure. But he doesn't have a new wider tread...or new longer springs...or a smoother ride or even a new '260' cu. in. V-8 power option. Actually he's not a very good Falcon Squire. But he's an awful good daddy." The ad also has a single drawing from Charles Schulz of Peanuts characters Charlie Brown and Lucy. Charlie is asking "If you added up all the money Falcon owners save on gas each year, what do you think it would equal?" Lucy, with a knowing smile, answers "Happiness Charlie Brown". |
