Holden and Falcon hold own in road tests
A history of the 1960s Holden FE and Ford Falcon tests notes the Holden’s heavier weight and higher power outpacing its tyres, while the Falcon shows better brake performance but fragile clutches. The report criticizes gearboxes and steering, with many faults traced to design choices and tyre sizes affecting road grip. Ford and Holden share blame for issues, yet both cars show overall solid mechanical condition after 11,000 miles.
