Ford Delivers Sensational Value On Falcon 50th Anniversary Range

Ford today announced official vehicle-only pricing for its exciting range of Falcon 50th Anniversary models, which are being produced to mark the half century milestone.

Falcon celebrated its 50th anniversary on June 28, half a century after the first XK Falcon rolled off Ford's Broadmeadows production line in Australia.

Production of the special 50th anniversary models commenced during June and the first vehicles will start arriving in dealerships around New Zealand the last week of July. Each model will feature unique exterior design elements, exclusive interior finishes and additional standard equipment.

All six models in the 50th Anniversary range present a compelling value proposition for customers eager to be a part of Falcon's 50th birthday celebrations.

"With a host of additional equipment at no extra cost and some very sharp drive away price points, we expect these unique vehicles will prove extremely popular with both new and existing customers," said Ford New Zealand Marketing Manager, Chris Masterson.

Recommended retail pricing (RRP) for the Falcon 50th anniversary range, which includes G Series and XR models, is as follows:

Model RRP
Sedan
Falcon XR6 50th Anniversary $52,790
Falcon XR6 Turbo 50th Anniversary $58,290
G6E 50th Anniversary $57,790
G6E Turbo 50th Anniversary $62,790
Ute
Falcon XR6 50th Anniversary Ute $45,290
Falcon XR6 Turbo 50th Anniversary Ute $48,290

Production of the Falcon 50th Anniversary range will run from June through until October, ensuring customers have every opportunity to join in the Falcon celebrations and become one of the almost 3.5 million Falcon sedan customers that have shared in its 50-year history.

Falcon not only holds a special place within New Zealand and Australia, it is also unique within the Ford Motor Company globally.

Falcon is the longest running car nameplate still in production in the 107-year history of the Ford Motor Company, while across all vehicles it sits behind only the legendary F-Series, which was first introduced in 1948, and the Lincoln Continental, which was produced from 1939-2002.

On a global scale, Falcon also ranks among the longest running nameplates anywhere in the automotive world, with just a handful of vehicles in continuous production for longer or that commenced production earlier and are still being produced today.
