Somehow all of 3 ford_falcon cars on the site are different.
Because the other two are Australian Ford Falcons. This one is the American sedan version of the 1960-1963 Ford Falcon. It was also produced for and in Australia, but their laws require all cars to be right-hand drive (RHD, and why only the S550s and S650s are the only official versions of the Mustang there, as they are manufactured as RHDs). The Australian version was only sold as sedans and wagons. The split between American and Australian Falcons came during its XL series in 1962 when it needed beefing up in its suspension and the XM from 1964 started further differentiation in the body but was still based overall on the American Falcon. It wasn't until the Falcon was discontinued in 1970.5 (yeah, that's a thing US auto manufacturers did) for the US that the Australian Falcon become its own car and the XB coupe used in Mad Max is of that generation.
The last Ford Falcon was produced from 2008 to 2016. Ford pulled all of its production out of Australia by September of 2016 and favoring producing its cars in other countries and importing them to the country. It was their way to cut costs and avoid Chapter 11 bankruptcy during the American Automotive Crisis of 2008 to 2010, the period known for the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), better known as "Cash for Clunkers."
The Falcon in the US is interesting as it provided the Chassis to several other models like the Mercury Comet and the ford_ranchero (which would be an equivalent to the Chevy's el camino).
