My 240D did that last winter until I messed with it...and yes it is a Ford
not a GM product/Tom

And don't forget the little resistive coil inside the blower box that
would fail for no apparent reason, on the coldest day of the year, while
driving to work on the freeway, and cause the blower to fail to blow the
defroster which failed to defrost the window and froze you while you
could not see anything, causing you to take the whole system apart that
dark cold afternoon at work with no proper tools, and trying to find out
what was wrong, on the coldest day after coldest night of the year.
Fine engineering.
Uh - friends, The Falcon was a FORD product, not GM..
My brother and II drove a '63 Falcon for a couple of years.
When the weather was really cold, the speedometer would peg and squeal
until
the dash thoroughly warmed up.
And I do consider that Falcon blower system good engineering.
The blower on my 124 failed in a similar manner, and there is no way in
hell
I could fix it in my employer's parking lot with no proper tools.
