Veterans Memorial Car Show: The future is Falcon!

This 1965 Ford Falcon Futura, lives in Pocatello.  It is significant that this car was a fundraiser for a veteran’s memorial building, for you see that the ‘father’ of the Ford Falcon was none other than Robert McNamara, the man who would be responsible for managing the U.S. military occupation of Viet Nam, under the Johnson Administration.

A surviving 1926 Ford Model T made an appearance at the Second Annual Veterans Memorial Building car show, in Pocatello, Idaho.
