  1. ^ Only assembled in the plant of La Boca (1959–61), and then fully manufactured (starting in 1961) in General Pacheco.[2]
  2. ^ Assembled only (1962–63); from 1963 that year, the Falcon became the first Ford 4-door sedan fully produced in Argentina.[4][5]
  3. ^ Not the original Ford Ranchero but an adapted local Falcon body.
  4. ^ Updated to the T6 (sixth generation), released in 2020.[6]
  5. ^ Introduced by Ford Europe in 1998.[7] The third generation of the Focus was released in 2011 with similar design for both markets, Europe and North America.
