The Falcon was introduced for 1960 as the first compact car from the Big Three American makers, with a small lightweight 144 cubic inch six of 95 horsepower, unibody construction, coil spring front and leaf spring rear suspension and drum brakes all round. In Canada, Ford introduced the Falcon based Frontenac for 1960 only, a rebadged Falcon with its own grille, taillights and red maple leaf insignia, to give Mercury-Meteor dealers a smaller car. The project was sponsored by Robert McNamara.
