Yeah, well everyone with a Ford now knows there whole life is deficient as they do not have a genuine tissue box. Fancy paying $325 for that. How would you know that one was original anyway?
Haha I thought I was the only one tho I have spent half an hour tracking one no luck on that tho Kleenex still make the box of tissues at chemist warehouse fits my bf falcon perfectly tho black contact film and a ford sticker does the job. No I don't have a girlfriend..
Ha ha ha, I was the bloke that won that auction! For real - I won that auction, and another two just like it. I've got three boxes of genuine unopened Ford Tissues now :P Upon reflection... it wasn't my finest drunk purchase... but no regrets really. When they arrived I was more than happy. The tissues came in absolutely mint condition, shrink wrapped packaging - which they are still wrapped in to this day. So did the second box of tissues. Sadly the third box was a generic BF Ford tissue box, which hasn't got anywhere near the level of detail on the packaging of it, but it's still cool to have anyway. Mate, if you want photo's for scanning or anything like that, reach out to me and I'd be happy to send photos your way. Cheers
I even reached out to Kleenex about recreating them for enthusiasts, as the genuine box has an official Ford part number :P and they said that if enough interest was shown, and with Ford's permission, they would consider doing it. They also said that the tissues used in the box are still being made, as the Kleenex Little Traveler brand, which can be bought at any Woolworths or Coles.
Congrats on the win then! That's a lot of money to spend on tissues, but I do have a feeling in a few years time (or 10) you'll be having the last laugh.
I've got both boxes that they made, the one with the pictures of the falcon and the plain blue box, that dad kept for some reason before we even owned a BA, but from when he worked at Ford so I cannot complain 😂
11:19 "Im not going to be using tissues in the car, I know some of you might" AHHAHAH Not sure whether that was intentional or not, but I found this line funny.
I remember doing predelivery inspections on the BA when I was an apprentice. The tissue boxes came inside the cars from the factory, along with the wheel covers or centre caps and all the other things that had to be fitted to the car before it was ready for the customer. I haven't thought about them in years, you have done such a fantastic job with your template - it looks just like I remember!
Hey, Chris. Cn you recall the drink bottles in the Territory? I think they were a thing in the SX series, but my early SY did not come with them. Am I remembering correctly? My SY did get the plastic bumper panel at the bottom of the tailgate and the lids on the third-row storage boxes which I know were deleted soon after,
I printed a couple of these templates at my local Officeworks and put them together. Fits perfectly and looks great. Thank you so much for the template. Absolute legend!
Also just want to say cheers for the great content- I love seeing our cars starting to be represented and preserved online. Thanks dude, I really appreciate it and I know I’m not the only one. Your content is only going from strength to strength, I always watch your vids as soon as I see them come up- and I’ve never even owned an AU, BA, NC, or VT! I’m an E series sucker for now 😬
Again.. quality content mate! As usual , no rubbish videos from the motoringbox channel. I always learn something from you about the Legendary Australian Automotive Industry haha
Sorry for cluttering up the comments...but cripes, you weren't wrong about the price for the genuine article. There's a battered old one on eBay right now with a starting bid of $250 😲. I think you made the right choice going with the DIY option, looks much better.
LOL great memory , yeah remember getting them when BA turbo was serviced at the dealership .... most expensive box of tissues ever , now you just get expensive bottled water . Still got my BA so will definitely make one up . Love the channel
I owned a 2007 Turbo Territory for 11 years and didn't even know what this shelf was for, I ended up mounting a uhf in there,Just like life you learn something new every day lol 👍
You could buy these at Coles, we had a VR Magna Sportswagon in '04 and the single din slot below the radio was cutout and fit the 'car tissue box' perfectly. Can't remember if it was branded 'Ford' or not, but I'm assuming there was some kind of standard size box manufactured. It was actually really handy when the kids were little.
Now that is friggin awesome, and very generous of you to do all the hard work and give it away. Now to go on ebay and sell the template for $100 🤣🤣🤣 (kidding of course)
I have a BA XR6 and saw this coming. Kleenex were selling them in supermarkets under their own brand for about $2.00, compared to $5.00 (from memory) from Ford. I bought about 5 boxes and still have a couple tucked away. Box dimensions are 150mm X 115mm X 35mm.
Interesting, mine is identical height wise, but is wider and deeper. Still fits though, maybe the legitimate tissue box sits a bit looser in the slot... like throwing a sausage down a hallway.
@@MotoringBoxTV I still have the original box from when I bought my BA XR6T new in 2003. Dimensions are 170mm x 113mm x 30mm. Has all the Ford pictures on it and part number. Ran out of tissues a while ago but I kept the box.
I've always wondered why my BFs had two little shelves under the console controls. I used the top shelf space (where the tissue box goes) to install a plastic bracket and some USB/audio ports.
That's pretty cool, but the BA, cannot beat AU coolness, with the, "Phone Presenter" and "Mobile Office". 😎😎 Although, I must say that what you've done is very clever.
Benny makinen are you saying that you have original “Ford” tissues . must be worth a mint especially with the pandemic and the great shortage of 2020 thats impressive
Michael Wilson What That go for on eBay? What, like maybe $20 a tissue? I’d pay $34.90. I wouldn’t go higher than that though. $35 would be a bit much for a genuine Ford Kleenex tissue. Although, in original condition, yeah, maybe $42.95
I mean if the Australian government didn’t kill the Australian car market we probably still have the falcon or the commodore and not mustangs or Chevys stuff like that it kinda sad really
@@juststuffwithwolfe4482 thankfully im a dual citizen, just chose to live in California during this pandemic, think I made the right choice, I hear they forced households in Melbourne to get tested for covid, pure tyranny
Some Ford vehicles in the US got a similar spot for a special-sized box of Kleenex. However, it was hidden inside the center console and un-used.... Except in Texas. We keep things in there.
My SY Territory has the same slot. We used the 'factory' tissues and I did once buy a replacement at Coles in the Ford size. Must have been when the car was still reasonably new. It was Kleenex branded but I don't recall if it also still had the Ford logo. There is still a similar box available but it is not quite the right size for the Ford slot.
I remember the family Territory coming with one of those tissue boxes! Unfortunately somewhere within 15 years and about 350,000 kms (still runs like a dream), we didn't keep the box around. Guess I'll have to give the box template a go. :)
That's some clever stuff👍 I always thought the tissue box was supposed to be the alternative option to the ashtray but then they decided not to even make the ashtray!?......I feel like I remember reading that anyway!
I had one when I got my BA xr8 long gone now put a slot in the bottom so it locks in the tab and you should be able to get normal car pack of tissues it's the same size
Not a ford fan, but a pretty interesting video. I love the content on wierd and random stuff that you used to be able to get with cars back in the day. Good video man!
Huh, never knew that about the BA/BF falcons, had always thought it was just another hole there in the center console for putting whatever into. Well there you go, that was designed for a tissue box. Also pretty pricey for a box of things you'd blow your nose into though, and your recreation came up pretty good too.
So this all begs the question that wasn’t even addressed. Namely: Where do Ford expect you to put the spent tissues once you’ve snotted in them? Is there a BA rubbish bin accessory?
Kudos for going to the effort to make this tissue box and also make available the plans for others. I could see the value in a show quality car, but as an everyday BA driver, I think I'll stick to my handkerchief lol I always wondered what that shelf was for though and personally I put my phone in the top shelf hahaha🙃🙂
Great video. I reckon the box might fit in the FG and SZ as well. While they don't have the full little shelf like the BA/BF, they do have grooves halfway up the sides of the "Breadbox" underneath the ICC, which would possibly take the box. Could you test it out in an FG or SZ? I've got an SZ, so I might give this a go soon.
Love your attention to detail and innovative solutions. At $325 for a tissue box, I would need a carton of jumbo tissues to console my self😪. Great work😊
🤣🤣 i have to stop and rewind the vid, that joke was clssic I didnt know there was a ford tissue box or that the gap was for tissues 👍🏼 i'll be downloading the temp for sure
I really like these different Falcon accessories. That makes me think the Australian market was really interesting, kinda like an alternate reality where people want to have their offices inside their car and where a tissue box is a really important item. That makes me even sadder about the death of the Australian car!
double checked and I have an unopened box sitting in my BA GTP although it looks like its starting to crack open from warping due to age, I have a feeling there is an open box floating around somewhere also - shoot me a message if you want dimensions etc. I could even whack it on the scanner if need be

I have a brand new never opened box in my 2004 BA Falcon Classic.

Real handy in these days,if you run outta toilet paper 😜😂
13 minutes of watching a vid about making a tissue box, but you know what..it was bloody entertaining!
Andrew Sutherland I liked the bit when he pulled the tissue out. That was a defining moment. Amazing.
Genuinely laughed so hard when he said this hahahahah
so glad you shared the template with the viewers expecting no money. Underrated channel that deserves more views and credit
If your girlfriend or wife is good with her hands and you need tissues in your Falcon...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
*boyfriend.... Falcon drivers only have boyfriends.
Nicholas Cox nicholas hahaha , “ ooops you done it again “ LOL

Crazy huh!
Time to start selling them as replicas for $150!
I used to buy the tissue boxes from Coles up until about three years ago. FG Falcons have the tissue box slot as well. My FG Mk2 has a slot.
I went to Officeworks and printed your design for my BA Fairlane. I will put it together tomorrow and am excited about the results.
Thanks 😊
