The Falcons never had the Econoline name on the fender; instead it read Falcon. We list all these as 1962 Ford Falcon Club Wagons unless there is an Econoline fender badge. That is the only difference between the two that I have seen. So should we list this as the 1961 Ford Econoline Station Bus or 1962 Ford Falcon Club Wagon. 9 times out of a 10 I would say default to the earliest year but in this case I say we use the Falcon nameplate as that was used from 1962-1967. That way when we do find a rare 1961 Econoline Station Bus we know to revert it back to 1961 (only year) if not we will have a ton of Falcons listed as Station Bus. But possibly due to the film date it may in face only be a 1961 Ford Econoline Station Bus
