[quote user="AgentKid"] Interesting tidbit about those 1960 Fords. The company was in the worst financial shape of any of the Detroit Three in relative terms, until the recent financial meltdown. There was no govt money then, and if they had gone down they would have stayed down. It was down to a day to day struggle to make both wages and supplier invoices. The company was badly wounded until the 1965 model, with it's claims that it was quieter than a Rolls Royce. Remember the first Mustangs(1964½) and Econolines(1961)(a cab over Falcon, they had learned the lesson of the VW Microbus, a cab over Beetle) were built with parts from the Falcon parts bins.

At idle you'd think you had stalled.  But she was still going. I miss that car!
