Shit, if they wanted weird they should have gone with a Buick Skyhawk. Don't remember that car? That's okay. Buick probably prefers it that way.

Oh, I remember the Skyhawk. I think I used some parts for one, can't remember why. I was busy looking up the history of the Ford Falcon, a '66 of which was my first (shitty) car. Which led me to this, which I definitely have never seen before.

That's one of the great things about automotive history. There are all of these unique cars on the fringes. Some are known and coveted, like split window Corvettes and COPO Camaros. Some are known and ignored, such as Dodge Omni GLHS or Monte Carlo Aerocoupes. Then you have cars like that Falcon, a blip on the radar that could easily be overlooked, the only thing making it compelling is the circumstances around its existence.
