Little known Ford fact department: Did you know that 1959 Ford cars were built at the Lorain, Ohio assembly plant...just four weeks after the last 1959 rolled off the line, the new-size Ford for 1960, the Falcon, was produced? Planning for the Falcon actually started in 1954. One of the biggest undertakings of this plan was when Ford completely disassembled 12 small cars built by other manufacturers - each part was analyzed to determine its weight, the material from which it was made, and the design. An upcoming LOVEfords feature will spotlight the development and early days of the Falcon (and Comet) models which debuted for the 1960 model year. The Falcon was quickly declared the winner in the sales race among the "Big 3" compacts, easily capturing over 50% of total compact car sales in its first year. If you also consider the many tens of thousands of Comets sold, Ford Motor Company sales leadership is staggering. See picture in this page's sidebar.

Chances are, if you asked 100 people "Who invented the automobile?", at least 90 would reply
"Henry Ford." This popular misconception is a glowing tribute to the man who made the automobile possible to the masses. While a good number of Americans and Europeans were working on the idea of a self-propelled vehicle, it is generally agreed that the automobile was conceived and came into being in Europe. Henry Ford, however, does get full credit for building the automobile that millions of people could afford. His guiding principle was this: "I will build a motor car for the great multitude...it will be so low in price...that no man will be unable to own one." The Ford Motor Company was incorporated in Detroit, Michigan on June 16, 1903.
The Cougar Club of America is attempting to register all remaining 1967-1973 Cougars, living or dead, into a Cougar database. This database includes all Cougars...from concourse restorations to project cars and those in junkyards and even those that have been parted out. This is not a showcar registry! We hope to use the information to help restorers, identify production trends and learn other helpful details about Cougar history. For this project to be a success, we need as much data as possible. It can be data from your pride and joy, or from your parts car out back under the tarp, or from that old owner's manual in your desk drawer. NOTE: This information will be used for statistical purposes only. Ownership information is held in strict confidence; register anonymously if you are concerned about privacy. The Cougar Registry is here.
