[74-911]

Just reminiscing I guess:

Stopped by a local trim shop today to get an estimate. They were putting a new interior in a 1965 Mercury Marauder Fastback the owner was restoring. Car appeared in excellent condition with a new paint job and you could eat off the valve covers the engine compartment was so clean (390 with a big 4 bbl carb). I distinctly remember when FoMoCo brought out the fastbacks in I think 1962 1/2 models - quite revolutionary looking in those days.

Being a luddite my cell phone doesn't have a camera so no pics. The main thing that hits you is just how big those old 1960's Detroit Iron cars were. When in high school in the early 1960's, my parents had a 1962 Pontiac Catalina which was not exactly a compact car. It was a good thing gas was cheap as you had to stop at about every other gas station with cars gas mileage back in those days.
