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....

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