It would also probably help if he were aware that the CJ-5 is nowhere near the "original" Jeep. George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind". > > 1967 Falon > > The '67 Falcon sucked. Want to guess why it was gone by '70? The Falcon was gone by '70 to make room on assembly lines for all those really great Pintos and Mavericks... -'dreas >> christin@52favoritecars.com (Spike TV's 52 Favorite Cars) wrote in > message news:<20aaa2c9.0404140721.4225022f@posting.google.com>...

Other than not getting alot of the performance goodies (in the USA, it got them in other parts of the world) the maverick is essentially the same as an early mustang under the skin. > >> christin@52favoritecars.com (Spike TV's 52 Favorite Cars) wrote in > > message news:<20aaa2c9.0404140721.4225022f@posting.google.com>...

I was driving between Eugene and Seattle once a month or so (I had just moved out, and went to visit) this car made it over and over, with 250,00 mi. and missing second gear but still did fine for quite a few trips, while getting reasonable mileage. sure beats the sh.t Detroit was putting out in the 80's > >> christin@52favoritecars.com (Spike TV's 52 Favorite Cars) wrote in > > message news:<20aaa2c9.0404140721.4225022f@posting.google.com>...

The early Mustang was also basically a Falcon under the skin! So's my '68 Montego but it has a bigger trunk and rides a bit higher... -'dreas >> >> christin@52favoritecars.com (Spike TV's 52 Favorite Cars) wrote in >> > message news:<20aaa2c9.0404140721.4225022f@posting.google.com>...

The basic unitbody is the same for compacts and intermediates. The cross sections scaled up and down as required. > > 1950's Studebaker > > Packard Hawk > > The Packard can serve as both. Well... I would personally vote for the '56 Golden Hawk as it's a much better looking car than the Packard Hawk... and it has a Packard engine... or maybe a '55 Caribbean which is a hell of a lot more car than any of the Studebaker Packards... or maybe a '53 Studillac... gotta give 'em props for at least trying to have a real car on the list :) nate a '53 Studillac... What is this? (Feel PROUD, you JUST STUMPED A SOUTH BEND BOY! ) > a '53 Studillac... > > What is this? (Feel PROUD, you JUST STUMPED A SOUTH BEND BOY! ) In the early '50s, Cadillac had a reputation for having the most powerful engines on the market. Many people would install a Caddy engine in another make. These were usually referred to by this sort of name. Basically, this is a Studebaker with an engine swap. Fordillacs were also popular at this time 'cause the Ford rear end would handle the extra power. George Patterson If you don't tell lies, you never have to remember what you said. 1950's Studebaker Packard Hawk Have you tried the National Studebaker Museum here in South Bend, Indiana? (Or was the Hawk a pre-merger model?) Sorry, I don't happen to know the geographical or Web address or phone number; but a good search engine and/or the South Bend phone book/information should set you up! |
