  3.  @punkinhoot  The North American Ford Fairmont just shared the name. After the US dumped the Falcon about 1970, the Australian Falcon and the Fairmont higher trim version shared close to no parts with the US Fairmont cars. The Falcon was not just Australian with New Zealand being another big market for Australian Falcons over the years. The Hubnut one in this vid spent most of its life in New Zealand where it was sold new there.
