IMO, a Falcon is a Falcon. It was Introduced in 1959, I have a  copy on tape 
of a Commercial from the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show in 1959  Introducing the 
1960 Fords. 
Ernie said "It is 59.00 cheaper than its rear  engined competitor". 
An Econoline is an econoline, It wasn't called a  Falvair!!!
 
The first econolines were badged as "falcon econoline"
 
These included FC pickups and passenger vans. I remember this from an  
article in a past
"Cars and Parts" magazine.

There were station wagons and convertibles and the Futura which competed  
with the Monza
and Spyder with an optional 260 V8 and 4 sp.
 
When you add in the Ranchero, Ford had more available models.
