This is interesting. I use to own a Fleet Maverick! If only I had known, I would have kept it. In a way I did because I have many of it's parts in my storage building.
Fleet can apply to a business that orders five vehicles in a year, say a pharmacy chain that used them for prescription delivery... Maybe a business that mostly ordered trucks but needed a go-fer, or maybe for the boss's kid, wife, girlfriend etc... Other than maybe the handling suspension there was nothing special about the car, could have just as easily been a dealer "stock" order... Now I have to ask, why does one order a Marti report for a parted vehicle??? I could maybe see it if it was a Boss 302 Stang or similar...
Why a Marti on a parted vehicle? Simply because I'm an info nut that wants to know about all my past and present cars. It's that simple. And I thought it was neat to show I had a Fleet order car simply because there were not that many ordered as fleet cars that many of us in this community own.
Guess I'm not the curious type, don't have Marti's for any of my cars... I know more about '69 Cobra production numbers than the average owner with a report so isn't necessary... Comet is so resto modded I could care less how it was originally, I do have it's original sales receipt, warranty card etc...
I can remember my Grandmother's brother stopping by when he was a recruiter in the Air Force and driving a 75 or 76 medium copper colored 4dr with US Air Force on it. I would assume it was a fleet vehicle as well. Interesting.
Back in the late 80's, probably 88 or 89, I was driving downtown by the old Ma Bell office building when the normally empty parking lot was suddenly filled with 25 4dr Mavericks in the old Bell paint scheme. They were there for i'd say a month then they all just as quickly disappeared. Dumbass me didn't take a pic or write down any VIN's but I remember it well.
Up here, the local natural gas co. (Niagara Mohawk) Had a fleet of em...2 doors and 4 doors for the meter readers and such to make their rounds with...They all ran on natural gas. Most of em rotted to the ground in 3 or 4 yrs of use. Those that didn't were sold at auction once they had 200K on em...They were all pale grey in color with the company logo on the doors. All 200s' no V-8s'...
Sorry to get off topic, but exactly what does "AIR CONDITIONING - MANUAL" mean? I do not think that I have noticed that nomenclature before on a Marti Report.
No doubt means it didn't have the auto climate control... Dunno maybe Marti Had T-Birds or Lincolns on his mind that day??
