My '67 Falcon Futura is back in daily use- even as a winter-beater. Paint jail was good for it- found a shop run by a guy who takes pride in his work. Tore out all bad spots and welded in new metal as needed. He started doing bodywork in 1956 and enjoys the old stuff.

WAAAY too nice as a winter beater, rethink that strategy. Get a reliable Japanese vehicle to run around with during salty winters.

With the few years I've got left (if any) I'll be darned if I'll drive something i don't like. Recent winters are mild here- plowed the driveway zero times last year and only once so far this year.

Here's more information on the nickname or term of endearment. It has agricultural roots rather than a regional one. I heard if from my dad back in the 60's when he owned a 1200.

I like the early 66/67 models. Very clean, yet revolutionary styling. Much better than an Eldorado IMHO.

This mid 30's piece pulled along side yesterday. Running a choppy V8 and automatic, but I didn't get a chance to learn more about it.
