Book- Super 70's: Cars of the Disco decade

soooulpower · 2008-04-30, 19:13

My uncle found me a book that has info and pictures on the maverick and comet- it has a Grabber on the cover for corn's sake. I wanted to post pictures, but my scanner is being cranky. Unlike other books this one isn't snooty when it talks about the maverick. I'll get pics up in my gallery when I get the scanner back online.

Yep. Usually I'm hard pressed to find anything about Mavericks at all. And when you do read about it it's usually smugly dismissed as a low rate college student, grandma and grandpa grocery getter. I wish those thick skulls that think that could see some of the Mavs on here!

Btw- My scanner is still being annoying. I'm about to just take some pics with my digital camera.

Well we all have come across some gearbox who has a problem with mavericks or comets and usually has some kind of bad comment about them. What these guys don't like to hear is that mavericks and mustangs (certain years) are more alike then not and as far as i'm concerned you can make a maverick look and handle as sweet as any car on the road. Their lines are sweet with that great 60's fast back look. Anyway they can keep their yaps shut about these cars cause there are other cars to restore and keep other then your standard camaros,mustangs,chevelles ,chargers, vettes etc ,etc ,etc. No matter how much someone tells me that my comet is not cool or good enough it only makes me like them even more.

The 70s were the highwater mark for car paintjobs and custom styling.
