Miss the days when just about any car you looked at you could buy as a coupe.

Now we live in a world of crap sedans and glorified minivans branded "suvs"....

Remember the marketing on the original suvs, REAL suvs? Driving up a shale rock slope with the roof off, or fording a 2 foot deep creek?

Oh well.
 
Always liked the cougar over the mustang. I'd kill for a 70/71 eliminator.

Nice cars, and that comes from a hardcore GM guy. Me being the type that looks at a car and think how to make it different, since a magazine a few years ago did an article on a company that makes the parts to convert a Mustang coupe into a fastback. I thought it would be cool as hell to use the parts to make the Cougar Ford never did. I’m in the home stretch of my El Camino wagon to give an example of my ideas.
 
Eliminators were 69 and 70. 69 has the much more appealing nose.
oops.
forgot they got ugly in 71.
Now a 71 mercury I would have is a cyclone.
