I've had my Dad's 1934 5 window Ford Coupe for 17 years now. Dad bought it new in the Spring of 1934 from a dealership in Central Iowa. Mom and Dad drove this car to the Black Hills of S Dakota on their honeymoon in 1938. Everything original including paint. Motor never tore down. Still drive it to Auto shows and for pleasure. I learned to drive in this car.

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.

Trivia; the early Mark III 460 engines were underrated because they all consisted of hand selected parts.

1967 was nearing the end of the line for the Falcon. The new sheet metal mimicked the Mustang but the two door hardtop and convertible, the one most likely to attract young buyers, were dropped, and the Ranchero pickup and station wagon were moved to Fairlane chassis and didn't share in the Falcon's body style. Ford was getting ready to introduce the Maverick as its compact car for the 70's and the Falcon's time was almost done. As a way to prove that, they made the Falcon appeal to older people and families, but those customers wanted more space, not anything sporty. No young guy of that era would be caught dead in a two door, let alone a four door, sedan, and slapping chrome on the door pillar of the sedan wasn't going to work. Ford really wanted sporty car buyer sot move over to the Mustang. The Falcon hung on until 1970, the last model year.

Dennis LePorte In my opinion, Ford’s were beautifully styled cars until 1969. That’s when they acquired the generic and boxy look. 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!

@@luizmiranda1950 My biggest complaint is that there are too many SUV/crossover vehicles, and auto makers are not really as creative or innovative with designs anymore. 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.
