THE SONOMA COUNTY FALCONS FOR FUN!!!

CHAPTER OF THE
FALCON CLUB OF AMERICA

Vic Trial contacted the Sonoma County Falcons and sent us some photos of a 1965 Falcon Futura Sedan, and a 1964 Falcon Ranchero.  Vic and his son (Kris) are working together on these two projects.  The Sedan belongs to Kris and the Ranchero is Vic's.

Above are some photos of Kris' 1965 2-Door Sedan. Kris caught the Falcon Fever just about the time that he received his Learner's Permit to drive.  These are "before" pics and we are looking forward to more as Kris makes progress on his project.

Here's a pic of Kris in front of Vic's 1964 Ranchero.   The Ranchero is getting ready for paint.  Vic found the Ranchero near the Davis Monathon Air Force base in Tucson, Arizona.  He reports that Arizona is good place to find rust-free cars, but the hot sun is hard on the rubber.

Here is the Ranchero that Vic referred to as the "Fire Chief Special".  This is a photo fresh from the paint booth.

Thank you for sharing these photos.  We wish you much success with your projects and hope they bring you much satisfaction.  Please send us more photos and information as you go.  (AA-12/08)

FEBRUARY - 2009

 My buddy is doing the paint jobs on our cars between down times at his shop. We may move slow, but it sure shows!

 The red is fantastic. The guys are trying to persuade Kris to go w/ Robin's egg blue in lieu of Dynasty green the original color. Reason: the previous owner had the Futura painted blue inside/out. If Kris decides on blue, it will match interior, but it will not be original. He has not the $$$ to repaint and replace inside w/ dynasty green interior. Anyway, here are the latest photos of our projects.

 Thanks from the Trial family.

Thank you Vic and Kris for keeping us informed about your progress.  Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing your Falcons in their new coats of paint!  AA---2/09

"I hate to keep you waiting, but we are approaching the "light at the
end of the tunnel". If a person had nothing else to do, this would be
great! The Ranchero was in the March of Dimes car show last week. No win, but fun.  I will update you further after Kris graduates.

I certainly do remeber fooling around these old beauties!  They seem to age well. Thanks."

OCTOBER - 2009

Vic reports that they are finally able to drive and show their Falcons.  The Ranchero and Falcons Sedan are not perfect, but Vic and Kris love'em!

The Falcons are safely tucked away in their "Falcon's Nest".  The Trials' have a PHOTO ALBUM that you have to see to appreciate these beautiful Falcons.

Thank you Vic and Kris for sharing you beautiful Falcons with us  AA---10/09.
