Chevy 454 SS looks markedly better than the Ford Lightning, my humble, Anglo-Saxon opinion.

A low production number Ford was the 1983 Mustang GT Turbo. As I understand It was offered as a precursor to the 1984 SVO Mustang. My wife purchased one new. What a great car. It had a 5 Speed with the TRX suspension package (metric Michelin tires and monster antisway bars). With the Turbo charged 4 cylinder, handing and balance was perfect. From what I can tell between 500-1000 were produced. Sold to buy a Volvo Station Wagon when our son was born. Sure wish I had it back.

Lincoln Mark VII LSC…. No mention?

No disrespect meant here, but if you don't know anything about the cars of the 1960s (one of the greatest decades of the auto industry in every facet), you should make it your aim to study this era and become much more knowledgeable and credibled in your videos. Otherwise, they're not worth listening to (this one included).

Good Day, Mr. Hawk. In 2002 I was doing 2nd shift security in Chicago's ritzy River North. And the Lincoln LS'es were. EVERYWHERE!! Combined with the First Generation 'Gators, Lincoln was Laughing Out Loud.😅😂Until Cadillac released the CTS sedan.😮And Then the tide turned. REAL Quick!!The LS became yesterday's news. Literally!!😢There's still a few LS's runnin' around The West Side.❤I guess if you couldn't afford a 'Gator, you bought an LS.😊

Sadly, there was never a Mercury Marquis de Sade. 😉

Owned a 70 Cougar with the hounds tooth, the only car I miss and would love to have another.

I bet the houndstooth edition was very popular in Alabama

Lincoln blackwood

You missed the one year only 1960 Dodge Matador. My favorite of the big wing Virgil Exner designed Forward Look Chrysler's of the late 50's early 60's. This isn't my video but it shows just how amazing this car was. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ7Op5qKqp1-ZtU

The houndstooth top sounds like Mercury's answer to the Plymouth Barracuda's Mod Top (the one with the flowers).

A 4-door Mustang ? Did it really exist ?...

Really enjoyed this video. Even as a Ford lover I hadn’t heard of, or seen many of the cars featured. I really like the Lincoln MkVlll coup and the kitty hawk spec Lincoln 👌🏻

I remember the kittyhawk edition back then, sharp looking vehicle. Ford has an aviation history too as they did produce the Ford Tri Motor Aircraft from 1925 to 1933 making 199 of the type

All your videos are great man even the old ones none can be considered worse than another.

Recently I sold my 2003 Centennial Edition F-250 Super Duty Lariat turbo diesel. Great truck!

The Lincoln LS is one of those cars that you see in every small town, but you don’t know anyone that owns one.

What a gorgeous looking truck. A shame it didn't come to fruition. AMC had some wonderful ideas.

Ford Mustang Canada Edition!

The Chevy 307 fared unusually poorly with the addition of emissions controls. By 1973 its net horsepower had plunged to a very low 115, which was only 15 more horsepower than Chevy's lowly 250 cylinder with a 1 barrel carb. Ford's 250 6 cylinder engine also struggled badly with emissions controls with horsepower bottoming out at an incredibly low 72 horsepower in 1975. The VW Rabbit with a little 4 cylinder engine produced 75 horsepower.

the aviator was an upscale version of the 2002-2005 mountaineer. look at them side by side; doors forward is pretty much the only thing that is changed. they even share the same chassis, i have to give the design guys credit for trying to expand there bottom line with only a few changes ala denali/escalade.

A friend of mine had the Lincoln LS V6 with the 5sp. It was a pretty decent car. It drove well, was handsome, was peppy ish. All in, Lincoln should have stuck with that line.

Its not true you could only get a model T in black. Its the only color you didn't have to pay extra for.

The 1996 town car cypress edition would be a cool addition, colour changing paint!

The mercury cougar 67-70 are badass!!seen a few at car show I went to a couple weekends ago,one had I believe the 429 V8 if I'm not mistaken it sounded mean!!!💯love the hideaway lights also I had an 84 for a few years,only a V6 but still a fun car to drive,bought it in 02 delivered a lotta pizzas 🍕 in it!!lol😂

A couple of 1968 Cougars. The XR7-G and the 7 litre GT-E

I don't remember the 50th anniversary Sable. I used to read Car & Driver and watch Motorweek back then and today is the first I've heard of it!Very likely I glossed over it and quickly flipped the page because it wasn't an exotic car 😂. Thanks Green Hawk!

I wanna learn bout the 1983 - 1986 dodge rampage.....

Great video

Houndstooth! That a crazy vinyl roof pattern!

Great video, man! I actually didn’t know about a few of those special edition cars but I did drive a 5-speed LS my parents bought after I’d moved out and married. It was pretty sporty, especially at the time. And for a video idea, how about something on V-8 compact cars. Like The Monza and the Pacer. There prolly others but I’m drawing a blank lol

Remember them well my mom had one that thing would regularly get 35+ mpg I remember once on a trip dad bragging it got 42mpg

A houndstooth roof would be so cool 😍kinda wish car companies would experiment with roofs again

the 1984 Lincoln Mark VII lsc is a pretty cool car

Dad ordered a 74 impala 4 door hardtop. fender skirts and black and white hounds tooth interior -Paint color medium red metallic. Budget shot. PERFECT... until he showed up with a white vinyl roof. i was crushed

Kitty hawk = flight Aviator = flight So they put a wing on it! I bet that got some insider chuckles! 😂

Chrysler going bankruptcy middle 1975-1979 US Government bailout money. CHRYSLER Paid loan back in 5 years help K car was hit just mini- van.

I'd like a video of the cougar models over the years.

1970 Mustang Twister Special. Only 96 made for a sales promotion in the Kansas City sales district.

The Aviator is still being. Produced!

didn’t even know about this one! always amazed by what you can find out!!

The royal knight El Camino, ( alt models, black, white, and red knight editions. California custom Chevrolet Caprice Classic 2 door, 78-79, and 80 to 81.

My first car was a 69 Dan Gurney Cyclone Spoiler W nose. Not a lot of those left

They should have sold the lts in USA. Guaranteed more than 135 to sell. Much better looking than the dull ltd

Thank you for the video. I liked that you brought these up. Chevrolet had a Camaro that used hounds tooth fabric: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKrOh4hujKmIr9k and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpu7pGt4rpiKgK8 I recall the Mercury Sable LTS that almost happened, but did not: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWjXg3aEn6isl9E Lincoln Aviator exists in 2024 and sells quite well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Cng6mVjbaHfqc That Aviator you showed was based of the Ford Explorer. There were three versions at that time: Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, and Lincoln Aviator. Thank you for the video and thank you for keeping it interesting. Time management. You got it figured out.

Besides the Gator Grain top from Plymouth, they also had a 70 and 71 Fury Gran Coupe that had a brown paisley top and interior. Liked that Nite Edition pickup you showed at the beginning, I almost ordered one new,but was out of my budget at the time. Also liked the Merkur XR4Ti, but they were about 12 grand in 89,so bought a Escort ES instead. Was only $7500 brand new for a Escort. Alot of people knock the Escort, but mine was pretty good, looked similar to the GT. Did good in snow and used very little gas. Anyways, good video. 👍

2024 cars back in the 70 s cost less than today. 2024 cars are high dallar

Great Vid Hawk as usual I've always liked the Aviator didn't know they had a kitty hawk edition seems pretty neat though😎

Wonder how much a Mercury LTS would go for these days?
