1968 Ford Falcon

Well we're back. Still struggling with computer issues - I lost the program I wrote to customise the scripts, so I had to semi-handcode this post. But posts should be back to normal. Let that be a lesson to me - always back things up.

1969 Ford Falcon Futura

1963 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible

1964 Ford Falcon Futura

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.
