The first generation was by far the main star of the nameplate, and 1969 was the best year for the humble-looking muscle car.

Its replacement, the Torino, lasted only until 1976 (after it was first used in 1968 as an up-scale variant of the Fairlane). Scrapping two nameplates in one year (the Fairlane and the Falcon) wasn’t to the public’s taste, as sales dropped considerably in 1971.
