Default 45th anniversary of Falcon in Aus

I wonder whether there will be any "newsworthy" announcements made tomorrow (Tues 28th June)on the Falcons 45th birthday.
Without question there is quite a number of interesting rumours circulating & this would be as good a time as any to confirm them!!! What do you guys think Ford will do?
They'll most likely just ignore the date as completely irrelevant & carry on AS PER USUAL!! or at the very least hope that some Ford fans from a website owned by a group of eccentric millionaires remember the date & celebrate!

For my part I'll prob take my Henry out for a nice early evening stroll, before putting her back to bed in her nice warm shed.

I'll sit back and watch what happens with interest.

Not only that, but also the weather so the XR can so too enjoy an evening cruise after a good clean.

Ive got a 75th anniversary falcon, it would be nice if they announced something really special like an enhanced V8?

One thing they are doing is that the Ford supported V8 Supercars are going to have a "FALCON 45" Windscreen Banner instead of the usual "FORD" ones on the weekend. I hope they do something with the road cars as well.

It would be great to have something special, but it's a bit of an odd number, no? 10 yes, 20 yes, 25 yes, 50 yes.. Or is it just me?! LOL!

They'll do about as much as they did with the 25th XF, 30th EA, 35th EF and 40th AU. (former two got a badge on the guard and the latter two got nothing)
