    I always look out for Mavericks/Comets when viewing old photos.

    :huh: Thats wierd, I dont see one either. And I posted it! Someone must have sent it to me thinking the yellow car was a Maverick, but its obviously not. I am ashamed of myself for posting it.:cry:

    Here's one I'm gonna break the rules with. My dad's 70 Maverick taken in the very early 80s just after he sold it. Check out the trucks on the lot where he worked. That car was hit in the quarter by a train....yes a train...when it was brand new. Dad bought it and replaced the lt qtr, rear panel and replaced a few other damaged parts so I guess you could say he had it since new...nearly.

    He sold it shortly after and I've only seen it once since....about 1996. I t still looked the same other than the wheels and even still had a Mickey Mouse magnet on the dash where dad put it when we went to Disneyworld.



    Btw....can you guess what his next car was? ;)
