Artifact Overview

Ford entered the small-car market in the 1960 model year. Ford's Falcon was a hit, selling 435,676 units in its first year. The Sprint, introduced mid-1963, was the sporty version of the Falcon with a V-8 engine and bucket seats. The Falcon Sprint never quite caught on with buyers.
