    I have a few pages from an old Hurst catalog and I want to know what car FN stands for?

    The FN is listed for 1960, is it a model of Ford?

    I know the following;
    CV - Chevrolet
    BU - Buick
    DP - Dodge Plymouth
    BOP- Buick Olds Pontiac
    ME - Mercury
    FO - Ford

    The term means "driving enjoyment" in German (from fahren, "to drive", and Vergnügen, enjoyment).
     
  7. Falcon makes a lot of sense besides being the obvious answer.

    I was going to make a crazy guess and say Fabrique Nationale even though it's highly unlikely Hurst was making suicide shifters for vintage motorcycles.:)
