Even that red 1970 convertible Charlton Heston drove in The Omega Man didn’t look nearly as nice as a base model Custom or Galaxie from 1967. My grandparents had a green 1973 LTD and it was nothing nearly as nice as their maroon 1966 Chevy Caprice they had beforehand.

We had a turquoise 67 mercury comet Capri with a 289. Parents bought it when we came back to Canada after a military posting to Germany and I remember the family huddles around the brochures spread out on the kitchen table when dad chose the engine (he was a mechanic) and mom chose the paint. I remember Dad being able to fit 2 full sets of golf clubs, and their carts, in the trunk. I also remember tucking away the seatbelts because ‘they got in the way’: That was also a time when both parents smoked and didn’t always crack a window. I still have a little plastic Esso tiger key chain that I bought shortly after we headed out on a trip to visit family from Trenton, Ontario to Edmonton: That little guy hung from the mirror of our family car and some 55 years later, it still dangling from the mirror of my 2019 F150!

Damn it not everyone wants a soccer mom car. And there also aren't enough lower-priced entry level type of cars anymore. It seems like every car has to have bluetooth, navigation, OnStar, Intuitive cruise control, etc. Maybe people just want an affordable entry level or mid level car without all the bells and whistles. Not everyone can drop $30,000 on their first vehicle. Why do you think the Escort was the number one selling car in America for like a decade? Did the car makers learn nothing from that? The Escort was reliable, cheap everyday transportation. That's all it was trying to be, and it worked. However it wasn't a terrible car like the Chevette or the Pinto.

xaenon I had a 584/240 Duration cam, Eddie heads, 750DP, 4:11 gears, headers with dumps, dual exhaust with Flowmaster (3 chamber) mufflers, 3000 stall in the C6. Drove nice except on tge freeway i didn't switch the trans over to AOD, i went broke and had to sell it in 2014. Had it 18.5 years. Oh on the track with not good traction my 60ft was always not good 2.0s when it should be 1.8 or 7 with sticky tires. So best the car (was a 66 XL, it's on my fb still) did was 13.79 with a 3 @ almost 100mph. If i had the money i wanted to fix trans and put new drag radials on it i know the car would of ran low 13s maybe hit a high 12. I mostly drove it. Fun car but used a lot of gas. Miss it bad. Being poor sucks.

A total family car, but so much elegance and character! 1969 is when things went downhill and the generic look came around.

My dad had a metallic sand 1967 Ford LTD Galaxy 2 door coupe with a 390 engine that he bought used in Phoenix in 1973 and kept it into the 90's. I always loved how that car looked and drove. He rebuilt the engine in 1976 and it drove like a top with the only problems being a leak in the C4 tranny that meant you had to warm the car up before going forward and issues with rust and the vinyl roof leaking.

Great platform, very luxurious, and totally unique in the FORDOR Landau (suicide door) version. The 67' T-Bird was the chassis that was later derived for the 69' Lincoln Continental Mark III, but with completely different body styles. Trivia; the early Mark III 460 engines were underrated because they all consisted of hand selected parts.
