The Ford Falcon EA, produced from 1988 to 1991, was the Australian-market Falcon's first significant modern redesign, succeeding the long-running XF series and marking a clean break from the older boxy styling that had defined the range for years. The EA introduced a more aerodynamic body and brought updated engineering to Ford's core rear-wheel-drive platform, keeping the Falcon competitive against the Holden Commodore in the Australian family car segment. The generation was offered in multiple body styles, including a panel van variant that continued the Falcon's tradition of serving light commercial operators alongside private buyers. The EA established the foundation for the subsequent EB and ED generations, making it a pivotal transitional model in the Australian Falcon lineage.
