Hey there Mr Nagel, I am a diggin the custom wood grained bumper on the blue 69. Most creative!

I would prefer that bumper had a walnut stain on it. It would go better with the dark blue.....

I would expected to have seen that as a factory option on a Ford.

Hey! Some of us like Fords!
I have 3.... a pair of '67 Fairlanes and even a '91 F-150 4x4 'Nite' I bought new. Ted has a couple of the new Fords too.
I would say pick on the Mopars, but I recently bought a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, so that's kinda a Mopar, or is it? I'm rebuilding the 4.0 inline six into a 4.6 stroker.

I'd actually like to see some of the 'other' cars you guys have.... Mark has some cool old Chevs and I hear Chris has some sort of wanna-be -gini... errr, a Fiero-gini!
Let's see um!

Hey now... it's official.. we only pick on Walt's 66 Gran Sports!

I pick on Ford all the time because my wife works for them. Sitting in my drive right now are two new Taurus's (seriously.. what an awesome car) and a newer F150.

I agree that it's probably safer to pick on any new Mopar since they are all Fiat's now anyhow (along the same lines as my Fiero-ghini).

Chris

P.S. - You've got to admit that it's at least a cool looking car, I just need to finish it now and move onto to something else... damn mid life crisis!

What is a midlife crisis? I can't even remember midlife! (smiley here with grey hair)

I do own two Fords, a 1972 F-250 and my wife drives a Taurus. I am not brand loyal, I buy whatever I think is best for my purpose at that time. I am just emotionally attached to 65 Skylark GS's. It's not the best car ever made, just brings back memories of the late sixties...... Hum, maybe I am having a late life crisis.

That bumper has been an option on all the cars I have painted by Al Furnish.
Yes, he IS a Ford Man! I feel like I'm turning into one- 2008 F150, 2010 GT, 2012 Fusion Sport which is PF Cool, fast.

Yes- but they are doing away with the V6 that motivates my car so well!

Those are two very nice looking cars!!!

That's an awesome pair, Ted. Looks like the red/black convertible combo is a time-tested favorite.

Seeing a lot of talk about Fords in the previous posts in this thread, I also have one Ford in my stable; the first "classic" that I built. The config is in my signature and a picture below. I thought building a "kit" would be easier than rebuilding an old car, but in this case, a kit was no where near "insert Tab A into Slot B". Then, when I retired, I figured it would be fun to work on an old car. Found my first 65 GS, bought it, and now have two. And a 65 Skylark parts car will join in a couple of days.

Historically, I never owned a GM car. My dad was an American Motors fan, and my first new car, just out of college, was a 1972 Gremlin X. Wish I still had it! I've driven lots of Fords and Chryslers over the years. My daily driver is a 2011 Dodge Durango and it has been a great car; my favorite of all the previous ones including a Volvo XC90 that I owned for five years.

I love my 65 GS's, but there's lots to like about the other brands as well!

Cheers!

Chuck

The non-Buick contenders and one mean unfinished Buick.
