You can't be serious? Falcon taxis are everywhere in Melbourne. I'd say somewhere between 15-20% of taxis would still be Falcons these days.

Cars you don't see many of - 1950s classics! Very few here in Australia, whereas if anyone has ever been to America, they're everywhere. Every other house in the US seems to have some classic car sitting in the driveway or garage. I'm not sure why this is - maybe the Americans are just more car obsessed. Or the fact that 1950s cars were plentiful in America back in the day, and there were so many good models. Here in Australia, cars were relatively scarce still in the 50s, and we had very few models worthy of collection.
