how many blind luddites have to tell you that they guess your car is a Mercury, before you get so fed up that you write in the back window that it's a Torino?


 on the dash it has the Cobra Torino badge, but not on the outside.

It's so annoying that people say to a car owner, Hey, is that a XXXX ? when you have a YYYY. Worse that they are too stupid to read. Yes, READ. Behind the rear tires, on most Mopars with stripes, and this Torino, and most other cars, are a badge or sticker decal saying what the car is. Sometimes between the brake lights or on the edge of the trunk deck... but so few cars are built with no wording on them to tell you the model... and stupid people frequently guess at the model, instead of reading the decal, and this Torino owner got fed up so much he wrote that in the back window. Priceless.!

Cool airplane photos from Fifties50s.blogspot.com




I think the above photo is of Betty Skelton and Big baby


the old Glendale airport. There's a ton of history about that airport, it's where the first cross-country flights originated, where TWA started, Charles Lindbergh & Amelia Earhart flew out of there, Clark Gable & Shirley Temple and all the stars flew out of there often…


 Race car heading for the Indy 500 if I recall right. I've seen these photos before, but not posted them

How the Ford area was made at the 2011 SEMA (very cool for anyone who saw the cargo containers with the irreplaceable race cars on top)

Mac's proudly (and rightly so) lets you know that Ford trusts Mac's tie downs to secure it's irreplaceable cars, so does Jay Leno, and Hotchkis

here's a video that shows why, with a pull test between some other manufacturers strap, and the same size and cost Mac's

displaying what little Ford has to interest consumers, various Mustangs

Trucks, Mustangs, and invited guests are about all Ford can offer to interest anyone. How they stay business is a mystery. What happened to the lessons of history in Ford manufacturing, like the model T... you know, 2 doors - great utility
