The client has commissioned the talented team to transform a 1965 Ford Falcon Club Wagon into a practical family cruiser, preserving its classic lines while updating its interior. Simultaneously, the crew are working on a 1966 Cobra, applying the same level of craftsmanship to the iconic sports model.

The Family Falcon is an episode of a programme that follows a skilled workshop crew as they take on classic car projects. Each instalment spotlights the team’s ability to reinterpret vintage models for modern use, presenting viewers with a blend of automotive heritage and practical refurbishment. In this particular episode, a client approaches the team with a specific request: to convert a 1965 Ford Falcon Club Wagon into a vehicle suitable for family travel. The owners hope the Falcon, originally built as a club wagon, will be re‑engineered to provide the comfort and space expected of a contemporary family cruiser. While the Falcon conversion is underway, the crew simultaneously dedicates time to another classic, a 1966 Cobra. The episode juxtaposes the two projects, allowing the audience to see how the workshop balances the distinct demands of a family‑oriented makeover with the restoration of a sports‑car icon. The dual focus highlights the versatility of the team, showing that they can adapt their skills to both a practical family conversion and a more performance‑oriented build. By the end of the episode, viewers are left with a clear picture of how the workshop approaches each vehicle, tailoring their work to the unique goals of each project.
