[QUOTE=peverett;

I also have a 1963 Ford Falcon-no fan shield on this model (as well as a solid steel steering column). One of my mother's brothers was killed by a car with no fan shield-the fan flew apart as he was working on it and hit him in the head.

In general, safety is a much higher priority in things built today.[/QUOTE]



Where have I read about the Falcon's safety issues in here? Seems like some brash and sassy writer claimed the Falcon is extremely unsafe only to be punished for doing so.
