Default Podcast: Cars That Made Australia - Ford Falcon

Tim Ross (aka Rosso) has a podcast over at Nine Entertainment called Cars That Made Australia

In a recent two part episode he covered the Ford Falcon. Worth a listen and entertaining.


Ford Falcon: HO Down The Hume (Part 1)
  • https://omny.fm/shows/cars-that-made...he-hume-part-1
  • The Ford Falcon wasn't just a car — it was an Australian icon, a symbol of homegrown muscle, pride, and family friendliness that thundered down our roads, dominated our racetracks, put the "falc" in falcodore, and — let's face it — made for one hell of a taxi.
  • In this episode, discover how the Falcon evolved from its 'trim, taut, terrific' beginnings into the ultimate supercar - the highly revered GTHO Phase III. Hear how it burned its image into Aussie folklore through a legendary drive and the most iconic photo of our muscle car era.

Ford Falcon: Tru-Blu Underdog (Part 2)
  • https://omny.fm/shows/cars-that-made...nderdog-part-2
  • Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday. The '70s was a tale of two decades for Ford. Its early track triumphs faded into the rearview mirror as the '80s loomed. Fed up with pouring cash into racing for dwindling returns, Ford did the unthinkable... and might have gotten away with it were it not for a band of die-hard Ford employees.
  • Working in secret, they risked it all to ensure the Blue Oval would still face off against Holden on the track, sparking what may be the greatest underdog story in Australian sporting history.


Search "Cars That Made Australia" in your favourite podcast app on your phone. The other episodes are great also.

Latest episode is out:

Cars That Made Australia podcast: Holden Statesman & Ford Fairlane: Local Luxury

The Holden Statesman and Ford Fairlane were more than simply bigger Commodores and Falcons, they were Australia’s answer to luxury on four wheels, symbols of quiet success and Aussie pride. These oversized but understated sedans were for the boss, the politician, the bloke who’d made it without needing to shout about it — they were built for the times. They were more than just roomy interiors and analog clocks; they were a mark of status in a simpler time, when “made in Australia” still had real meaning.
In this episode, we’ll explore how the Statesman and Fairlane went from local luxury to nostalgic relics, what they meant to a generation chasing the Aussie dream, and why they still hold a place in our hearts — even if our tastes have shifted to hatchbacks and SUVs.
