When was the last Ford Falcon built?
The last Ford Falcon was built on 7 October 2016 at Ford Australia's Broadmeadows plant in Victoria, marking the end of Falcon production in Australia.
The Falcon had a long history in Australia, beginning with its introduction in 1960 and evolving through multiple generations before production ceased in 2016 as Ford shifted toward importing vehicles for the Australian market.
Context: why production ended
In the mid-2010s, Ford Australia announced a move away from local car manufacturing as part of a broader global strategy to focus on importing vehicles and on higher-volume models. The Broadmeadows and Adelaide plants were impacted, and the final Falcons were produced in 2016 as part of a limited end-of-line batch. The change reflected wider pressures on the Australian auto industry, including costs, exchange rates, and market size.
What the end of Falcon production means
With the Falcon line concluded, Ford Australia pivoted to importing a range of models rather than building them locally. The end of Falcon production closed a chapter in Australian automotive history and underscored a shift in the industry toward global platforms and non-local assembly.
Summary
The last Ford Falcon was built on 7 October 2016 at Ford’s Broadmeadows plant in Victoria, ending a 56-year era of Falcon production in Australia. The move signaled a broader transition in the Australian automotive sector toward imports and away from domestic manufacturing.
