What Changed in 1960
Final year of the single-cutaway White Falcon. The body would transition to double-cutaway thinline in 1962 — a dramatic change. These last single-cut Falcons represent the end of the original design era.
Collector's Notes
Last single-cutaway year is highly collectible. The single-cut Falcon (1955-1960/61) commands significant premiums over the double-cutaway versions.
