about 1/3 the way down, seems like they're dating this around 1974?

XA falcon was 72-73 but that stripe isn’t factory...first time I’ve seen it and I grew up in the back of those cars...Horn was a range of dealer modified cars....

right the Horn cars are dealer mod'd similar to Nickey and Yenko chevies and Mr Norm's mopars in the states

the 1974 Horn stripe pre-dates the 4-30-1975 release of the S&H tv series

i've seen the link i posted above before but this is the first time i made the connection to the S&H stripe

The stripe wasn't a Ford design... it was the transportation manager at Spelling-Goldberg, the producers of the show.
