Found these local , may be able to use them. Curious what they would be out of.. Figured someone on here would probably know. Thanks
Ford product, could be Cougar, Comet, Fairlane, etc. from ‘67 on. I believe the back rest lock stated in ‘67 the same time the safety hub on the steering wheel appeared.
Quite possible that you are correct. The Falcon nameplate was retired in early ‘68 and the model continued as the Torino. (useless trivia for today)
Close, but not quite right. Ford built the '66 redesign body shell Falcon until January 1, 1970 when it no longer met federal safety specs. But supposedly Ford had a fleet contract to deliver some 'Falcons' into '70 so they re-badged a stripped Torino as a Falcon to satisfy that as well as offering it to the general public. This was the '70.5 Falcon, only available as a 2dr or 4dr post car. The really odd part was when this became available, you could get any drivetrain option offered in the Torino line in the 'Falcon'. So these became the only 'Falcons' ever factory available with a 4V motor... up to and including the 429 SCJ, and a small handful were ordered by savvy buyers. The nameplate disappeared for good at the end of the year. The seatback latches came in '68, along with collapsible steering columns, mandatory shoulder harnesses for the front and 'non-catching' inside door handles.
