Ford Falcon, Good cars.Back in the 1970s, one of the vehicles I owned
was a 1962 Ford Falcon 4 door car.It had a 6 cylinder engine and manual
shift transmission.I traded it to my old buddy for his 1950 Ford car,
six cylinder engine, manual shift transmission with overdrive.He had
bought the 1950 Ford car for a second car when he and I went to Hinds
Community College on the G.I.Bill, Winter time of 1972 - 1973.

Falcons were everywhere back then and I am surprised the Falcon didn't
come back with the oil emblem around 1973-1974 when the oil **** first
hit the fan. Fairlanes were good too.

I like the 1957 Fords, I once owned a 1957 Ford Thunderbird.I traded a
1968 Ford Mustang for the Thunderbird in Lawrenceville,Georgia.I have
owned a 1964 Ford Mustang car before, also a 1931 Ford four door Model A
car I bought from a guy in Liberal,Kansas back in the 1970s.I have owned
a 1939 Ford fastback car and a 1948 Chevrolet pickup truck too.I traded
that pickup truck to an old buddy for some collectible folding money and
some collectible silver coins.I still have that money here, in my box at
the bank.I have owned a lot of vehicles over the past years.

1957 saw Ford make some mistakes, for sure. The Skyliner was a bomb at
the dealers due to the 30 + motors involved. I liked the styling and the
1957 T-bird, the last before it got bloated.

I have you beat by about 4 or 5 times as many cars over the years.
My favorite for quiet running was a 1948 Studebaker at 65 in overdrive.
Flat head again so no notice able engine noise.
I miss Detroit iron.

OK,
Close but no cigar.
The fun thing about the Studebaker and the 1961 Rambler was that a
friend was actually leaning on the Rambler and asked to hear it run.
He almost fell over when I said it was running. I replaced the generator
with an alternator, breaker-less ignition, and super quiet mufflers. The
Rambler was about as stripped down as I have ever seen an American car
and the Studebaker was an example of how good American cars could be.
