1965 Ford F-100

1965 Ford F-250 Camper Special

1965 Chevrolet ChevyVan

1965 Valiant 100 Hardtop

No Plymouth markings on this car, making it the Canadian version.

Interesting items: The merest suggestion of fins leading to the vertical tailights, the barely visible front turn signals, the bulges in the rear fenders which reach out to integrate with the rear bumper, the chrome on the door frames and rain gutters surrounding the windows, the way the rear fenders hide the upper part of the tire. And then the humorous additions to the interior.

But what is that black car lurking in the background? Some may already guess from the tailight in #1. But you will have to wait until the next post to be sure.

1965 Ford Falcon Drag Racer

The first clue that this was something different was the writing on the windshield. Then you notice the wide rear tires (how did the owner fit them under there?). Then you see the seats, with 4 point seatbelts, and the steering wheel on the passenger seat. I imagine this is how drag cars spend a lot of their time -- mostly assembled. Looks like this car used to be off white.

Love the "moon" hubcaps, the brilliant chrome grille against the dark paint, the way the fenders extend slightly ahead of the headlights, the "speed lines" sculpted the entire length of the car, the way the rear fenders envelope the wheels. Not your average 60s family car.
