The Falcon retained the same body style throughout its production, with several substantial facelifts taking place during its lifespan, giving it a more European flavor and bringing it into line with other more contemporary Fords.

The robust Ford Falcons became popular as black and yellow taxi cabs and white and blue police vehicles.

They also had another connotation, with the dark green painted Falcons used by paramilitary government forces like the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance of the 1970s and the secret police of the military junta.

[3] The Ford Falcons would be repainted and had their license plates replaced in order to deliver the cars to the paramilitary government forces that used the vehicles for their clandestine operations during the Dirty War.

In 1962, local production began with complete knock down kits imported from the US assembled at the Ford factory in La Boca.

Only a sedan was offered, with Standard and Deluxe trim levels, and a 170 cubic inch Ford inline-six engine.

[9] The third restyling of 1970 began drifting away from the original design as quad headlights were introduced on Deluxe and Futura models, new front and rear bumpers with vertical nudge bars and disc brakes with 14-inch wheels and low-aspect red-striped radial tyres are now available as options.

[11] The fifth restyling of 1978 brought further cosmetic changes, with another new grill this time in plastic, Ford's new oval logo emblems, new updated door handles, improved cabin ventilation with exhaust vents on the C pillar, single large rectangular headlights, and 175/70 R14 radial tyres on sporting or deluxe models, amongst several other changes.

Changes include new bumpers with rubber strips and rubber end caps, new large rectangular taillights with amber turn signals, bronze-tinted glass replaced green, and a larger trunk by reconfiguring the trunk floor and repositioning the spare tyre, and other minor cosmetic changes.

The diesel, a 70 hp (52 kW) Italian-made VM HR492 were produced by Borgward Argentina, but as they proved unable to provide engines at the pace needed by Ford, the project soon came to a halt.
