...Month of the Falcon," the servant replies...
Some of Detroit's 1964 offerings will be changed simply because their styling has been around too long. The four-year-old Falcon will lose its rounded look for more angular lines, and the Comet will look sleeker and longer.

Valiant sells for $3,500 in Venezuela, a Ford Falcon for $5,530 in Argentina. Nationalistic politicians argue that these prices are not too high to pay for developing a national industry that will create jobs, reduce imports and preserve precious foreign exchange.
