Yeah, it's pretty smooth, the rear looks very European.
Speaking of smooth...

This 61 Chevy looks like a Mopar

This design for the '63 Vette was done on '57

Maybe the secret service could use this...

In Australia the Coupe Utility or UTE has been a fixture in their culture forever.
Made by several companies but the biggies were Ford and Holden(GM). Sadly the UTE is riding into the sunset.
Both Ford and Holden are shutting down manufacturing in Australia, not just UTEs, all manufacturing.

Ford used parts from factories in Commonwealth countries to save import duties if they could.

That Falcon made for a cool little truck.

A freind of mine in California has a '63 Falcon pick-up. He uses it for work.

This looks to be a nice truck, but I gasped at the current bid:

Sort of expensive is an understatement.
So is this one...

But this ford is worth a first born child and a pound of flesh...

I sat in a Crossfire once. It's pretty.

Pretty tight. Took me a couple minutes to get get back out. Not sure I was able to close the door.

Pretty though.

More built for the Autorama show circuit then disappear.
I guess they're for gauging public reaction to bits planned for future year models.

1963 Gran Prix Season, race cars at London airport on their way to Watkins Glen for the US Gran Prix.
Getty says 19 cars but 4 must have been loaded because I only see 15.

I was supposed to drive at Watkins Glen in September but all the races that should have been run in the spring and summer were postponed and started the last week in August. That tied up the track for a couple months and we couldn't buy any track time. Maybe next year.

Neither of the Ferraris nor the two ATS cars seem to be in the picture. Perhaps they traveled to the American and Mexican races from Italy independently?

There is an auction for this car. Maybe the Mrs. said no.

Probably somebody told him he could get more out than he has in, and it would probably get stolen if he keeps it.

**Posted by xoxoxoBruce** 11/15/2020 10:55 pm

This is the most expensive new car ever...

It cost twice as much as this...

Ford chickened out when it came time to build them...

Need a heavy duty school bus for the urban jungle or the rural mountains?

Boeing was looking ahead for post war work and probably thinking aluminum construction, but they were busy after the war.

If you have some extra cash...

Is that sexist? I don't care, I was madly in love with that woman.

This 80 year old Ford with only 12,000 miles is unbelievable but of course doing anything other than display it would be a sin...

**Posted by fargon** 11/30/2020 8:37 pm

I just can't bring myself to pay that much for a ford.

**Posted by xoxoxoBruce** 12/02/2020 8:41 am

How about a snazzy Terraplane...

**Posted by xoxoxoBruce** 12/06/2020 3:17 pm

I didn't know GM had this many makes on the market in the late 20's...

I'd buy this for fun but it's a half hour drive to where it is.

Some body has deeeep pockets...
