1961 Falcon Futura
The Compact Cousin of the Thunderbird
Feast your eyes on the finest the compact field has to offer...the new Falcon Futura!
This could come only from Ford, where Thunderbird luxury and Falcon economy were born. And, this new kind of personal car has both in liberal measure.

Imagine yourself behind the wheel. Wall-to-wall carpet underfoot...comfort-tailored vinyl (your choice of five colors) all around to lend ruddy richness. This is Thunderbird-inspired luxury. And the Futura has more for you.

When you slip into one of those individualized front seats, you'll say it was made for you. Deep-cushioned 100% foam rubber makes it that comfortable!

You'll note numerous personalized details: how front seats adjust individually...how each folds far forward to more easily accommodate the three rear seat passengers. The stylish Futura console between the seats...so convenient for driver or passenger.

Expensive? Remember, Futura is still a Falcon...still economy king. Futura's priced below some standard compacts. In the '61 Mobilgas Economy Run, a Falcon with standard transmission averaged 32.68 mpg, the highest ever obtained by a 6- or 8-cylinder car in the 25-year history of the Run! If you've wanted a finer compact, Futura is your car

Deluxe Arm Rests (below, at right), set against lustrous Mylar, front and rear, add richness to Futura's pleated vinyl door and side panels. Each rear arm rest has a built-in ash tray. Color-coordinated with the Futura's five interior trim selections, you have a choice of 12 exterior single colors in Ford's Diamond Lustre Finish that never needs waxing.
