  hmm, okay.  At the Glendale Fest in September, I asked BOB BRODIE,
"Official Spokesman" if you will, about the release of the Falcon.  He
corrected me when I implied that the rumors were that the Falcon
really wouldn't be available till '93 in America.  He said, and I
paraphrase, that the Falcon would be available at dealers in America
in late October like they had been saying.  This is almost a quote.
He didn't say which dealers.

  Good enough?

So who got them.  Or was it too difficult to get the Falcons to
dealers on that schedule.  My further understanding from Bill Rhebock,
was 2 Falcons at some dealers end of Oct.  More Falcons in Nov and
Dec.  And full production by Jan 93.
