That looks like the same car that is pictured on page 4 of the maverick/comet heaven section of Craig Selvey's website.Wonder when that pic was taken?
Jeff Springer from Lawrenceburg, Tennessee sent us this picture of what is left of his 1971 Ford Maverick. He bought the car from it's original owner 5 years earlier with only 81,000 miles on it. He was broadsided by a car that ran a red light at 50 mph. Jeff broke his collar bone in two places (ouch!!), while the car was totalled. The bench seat was pushed in so far that it bent the passenger door "out" on the other side. These are tough little cars!!
so were there painted tops on 73 comets or was this just a 71 and 72 thing. the reason i ask is my comet has a white painted top and have always wondered it it was stock.
