Falcon wagons, a subject close to my heart!

For mine, any column shift bench seater (might as well use all the width), and

American XK Falcon '2 door' wagon... nice!
XW Falcon 500 Wagon in Metallic light green with 6" rims and redwalls
XY Falcon 500 Wagon in Teal Glow/White roof/Saddle Trim
XB GS Wagon in Apollo Blue, white trim
EBII 'S' Wagon
ED XR6 Wagon in Cobalt or Poly Green
AUII 'SR' Wagon
AUII Fairmont wagon, with the AUI Fairmont Ghia wheels
FG Wagon in G6E form... oh.

As much as I love my wagon I still think the XK-P shape is the best wagon.

Falzoony + Prydey

= Nice.

I will have an EF XR6 wagon before i die for sure


Tangent / What does it cost ford to produce these "different" Models. They have gotten rid of so many models and options these days they've gone back to Henry Himself With his colour chart.

BLACK ONLY

It is whats killing ford OZ for sure.

Hehe, I always loved Falcon wagons. I nearly bought a XE Ghia 302 wagon but then opted for my old ED V8:

You're very wrong... Yours is nicer.

I also have a great fondness for XA/B/C wagons optioned up with roof racks and of course 2 way tailgates. Cool.

Here is a pic of my old EB Fairmont Ghia 5L wagon. She was rough, but rare.
Wish I still had it now. As for a favourite model, Probably a XB GS.

This is a tough one but for me it is xp and xr followed closely by the xy gs wagon. The xe s pack wagons can look pretty cool too.

XD/XE's suffer from a terrible backside...front is tough.

That XW takes the cake though...off to ebay again.

Galaxy XR8, that is beautiful!

Exactly what I was talking about when I said

"XW Falcon 500 Wagon in Metallic light green with 6" rims and redwalls"

Ah, it makes me happy to know that there's one out there being loved and preserved, kudos to you.

Those pic's are over 6yr's old now, when I had green lawn in the backyard, (pre drought) lol.
I plan to be proactive one day soon and get some recent one's as I have done a few little changes since then, boy I am so lazy, I really should find time to get her out of the shed more often, I havn't driven the XW for atleast 2 yr's now.

Lime Frost metalic, the best colour (biased again).
I swap the 5 slotter's every now and then for B' globes but I prefer the 5 slotter's.

As per every other variant, I'm going to say XA-XC. Ford will never top that shape, unless they bring it back... which is extremely unlikely to happen.

All the others (barring the XK-XT) suffer from an ugly rear.

Up until the AU (when I found the back of the wagon a lot less palatable), I find all Falcon wagons wonderful in their own way. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

I do agree on XA-C being the best though...

haha, apologies about sounding assertive in writing that! I do agree, however, about beauty/eye/beholder! (I am definitely not one of those people who don't think other peoples' opinions are 'wrong' when it comes to taste around here)

Obviously I wasn't thinking too hard initially

I should also extend upon that... to say that I think they are ugly in contrast to the rears I do like.

The XY would have to be one of the best looking wagons, like this one I used to own, wish I had kept it. 302 V8 Fairmont auto.
