Great stuff Syndrome,

The human element in the whole production was massive. Checking at every stage too.
Wonder if the kid ended up buying his purple XA later in life - hopefully before the prices skyrocketed!

Strange thing is I was searching youtube for videos of blown Falcons when this appeared in the list. I knew Ford once built cars in NZ but until today did not know they also assembled the Australian Falcon.

It'd be great if someone did up a definitive sticky on exactly what was built or CKD'd in Australia and New Zealand over the years, Dr Terry perhaps?
