Ford Falcon (XA)
The Ford Falcon (XA) is a full-size car that was produced by Ford Australia from 1972 to 1973. It was the first iteration of the third generation of this Australian-made model and also included the Ford Fairmont (XA)—the luxury-oriented version of the Falcon.
==Overview==
Sold between March 1972 and September 1973, the XA series was the first Falcon to be completely designed and manufactured in Australia.〔Pedr Davis, Aussie Cars, 1987, page 129〕 It featured an entirely new body which was larger and more roomy than that of its XY series predecessor.〔 The XA range also had a longer list of options and a wider choice of engines with the 4.1-litre six now available with either a single or double venturi carburettor.〔(Ford Falcon XA ) Retrieved from www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au on 25 April 2010〕 Wagons now featured a longer wheelbase than the sedans and an optional dual-action tailgate that could be opened either downwards or sideways.〔
The addition of a two-door Hardtop to the range marked the first time that this body style had been offered on an Australian Falcon since the XP series of 1965–1966.〔Norm Darwin, The History of Ford in Australia, 1986, page 167〕 The Hardtop's longer doors with frameless windows were shared with the Utility and Van, with a different shape glass to suit the commercial vehicles' body apertures.〔 The shorter doors of the sedan and wagon with their framed windows were also available with optional quarter vent windows, though these were very rare. This option was discontinued in the subsequent XB and XC models.
A total of 129,473 XAs were built.〔 While successful, the XA Falcon range proved to be short-lived as it gained a significant frontal appearance update to become the XB series in October 1973.
