Ford Australia has announced plans to release a series of commemorative models to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Falcon.

Falcon is the longest running vehicle name in Australian motoring industry and will mark its 50 years on June 28, half a century after the first XK Falcon rolled off Ford Australia's Broadmeadows production line to begin the Falcon legend.

"The Falcon's long and distinguished heritage is unmatched by any other car in the history of Australian motoring. 50 years of continuity in any industry is a remarkable achievement, but it's especially rare in a dynamic field like the car industry," she said.

# G6E 50th Anniversary

# G6E Turbo 50th Anniversary
