When did he have a falcon? Those Ford stickers are for a front and rear bumper for a 61-2 falcon. I wish I saved my dads toolbox. He had it for years and had the worst tools in it! Partial socket set. Never had the one he was looking for!

When they first got married in the early 60's they had a Falcon (I think they had 2 - a coupe and convertible at different times). We'll try and get some pics.

We are starting to go through this stuff in the coming months as they have decided to downsize a bit - so more treasures to follow..........kind of sad actually.

Here are some pictures of their Falcon convertible from back in 1963. That's our Mom and Dad in the first picture. I believe the picture in what looks like a junkyard without wheels is when it was stolen (they worked on the north side of Chicago).

Maybe they stole it for the (Radir?) mags on it.
