    My experience has been similar with regard to the Maverick. They are like glue in a parking lot. The young people love the styling (hey..nice Mustang) and the people my age love to tell stories about the family owned Mavericks from their child or teen years.

    A while back, I saw a 71 Comet in a grocery store parking lot in Austintown, Oh. It drew a lot of people even though appeared to be someone's daily driver!

    A really nice article indeed!

    Nice article, Thanks for sharing Terry. The maverick creeps a little forward each year and gets a little more recognition each year. I am glad I have one!

    Thanks

    Nice article.

    I gave my son a choice of pretty much any car he wanted under 10k. We looked at Furies, Novas, Camaros, LeMans, even some 50's era cars. He picked the Maverick / Comet.

    Turned him into a Ford kid, just as it should be. :burnout:
