1 Of 776: 1964 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery

The Ford Sedan Delivery dates back to the 1930s but is best known for its run from 1957 to 1959 and 1960 to 1965. During those periods, it was based on a 2-door station wagon but without side windows. It was a full-size vehicle in ’57-59, switching to the compact Falcon platform in the 1960s. This 1964 edition, which has been stored for 43 years, is one of just 776 made that year, as demand had long since peaked. Covered with mud and dirt from storage, this Ford is in Richmond, Kentucky, and is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $7,500 OBO.

With truck and van production growing after World War II, demand for automobile-based workhorses like the Sedan Delivery (also referred to in the 1950s as the Courier) declined rapidly. When Ford rolled out the Falcon compact in 1960, the bean counters thought demand might perk up with a smaller package. That turned out not to be the case, and the Sedan Delivery disappeared after the 1965 model year at only 649 copies. So, the Falcon Sedan Delivery is a rare commodity these days.

As is typical with Marketplace ads, few details are provided. We’re told it was last on the road in 1983, but why that status changed isn’t known. It has an inline-6 engine, probably displacing 170 cubic inches (no pics), and a standard transmission (“3-on-the-tree”?). Because it has been sitting for so long, the engine and brakes are locked up. Meaning you’ll have to drag it around or put it on dollies.

We’re told this is a solid vehicle for a restoration. And there’s no mention of corrosion. But since these were unibody machines, surely there is something to have to reckon with. We’re guessing there’s white paint (or light green) under all the grime, and the interior’s condition isn’t divulged (also no pics). For what appears to be a top-dollar price tag for a project vehicle, we wish the listing included more details and photos. Thanks to “Pnuts” for uncovering this tip!
