I've noticed it so often with vintage car ads.

I believe all Sprints came with bucket seats and a mini console. This is clearly a Futura convertible that someone added Sprint badges to. It's still a wonderful little car and I'd be delighted to have it!<br /><br />Paul, NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-52310181646584493572010-12-27T18:42:32.981-05:002010-12-27T18:42:32.981-05:00Oops!

Obviously a Fusion would be a great droptop but we were talking about cheaper than a Mustang and I doubt that would be the case with the Fusion. So anyway, a Focus convertible would be very cool.<br /><br />Paul, NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-63608620283863495892010-12-27T18:35:59.752-05:002010-12-27T18:35:59.752-05:00Wow -- what a cool little car -- it takes me way b...Wow -- what a cool little car -- it takes me way back on memory lane even though it's not an exact dupe. But if I had a spare $19,500and a place to keep it, I'd sure snap that right up. <br /><br />I think a Fusion convertible would be a winner and could probably be had for around the same price as this great Falcon.

Maybe I will now, thanks!<br /><br />I'm being slow, PX.... not sure what you're alluding to, lol.

On Casey's link they feature a lovely white convertible. <br />Why can't Ford make a less expensive convertible than a Mustang?<br /><br />http://bit.ly/dP5NqTKorean Car Maniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413162812043485242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491858821724608028.post-697020201084203702010-12-27T16:18:17.719-05:002010-12-27T16:18:17.719-05:00The 64 Fords were the Motor Trend Car(s) of the Ye...The 64 Fords were the Motor Trend Car(s) of the Year. I think 64 was the year of Total Performance.<br /><br />The top mechanism for the Thunderbird was orginally developed for the proposed Mark II convertible that never came to be. Instead the technology was applied to the 57-59 Skyliner, as you mentioned, as well as the 58-67 Lincoln convertibles and the 58-66 Thunderbirds.<br /><br />I'mAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
