About This Item

IMAG1061

About this Item – My Father wasn’t a car fanatic but he was CRAZY about his Ford Falcon.  When I was a boy I remember that every time he saw a Falcon out on the road or in a junkyard he’d stop and take a look.  My FIRST car was a 1965 Ford Falcon passed down from him.  (I think he re-lived his rebel years by watching me drive it around).  When Dad first became ill with cancer I told him that we would find an old Falcon, re-store it, and go “Cruisin’.  I gave him this die-cast as a reminder of what we had to look forward to together; it’s as close as we got.

** NOTE – Even though this is a rather large TB, the sentiment is VERY special.  I gave this die-cast model to my Father within a couple of years before he passed away.  Please respect the memory of my Father and keep this TB in circulation; I greatly appreciate it!  (DPP)

Was going to leave it in my Maiden geocache hide. Ran into a snag with Groundspeak and had to retrive. Back to the drawing board.
