1970 Ford Maverick Estate Coupe design concept - I've never seen this before, that back end is so stupid ugly it's utterly unforgettable, and that's how I know I've never seen it before



Ford exhibited the Maverick Estate Coupe concept vehicle at the 1971 Chicago Auto Show.

 The Estate Coupe had a dark green padded "Landaulet" roof over the rear seating, and the body finished in limefire green. That unique color used a subtle gold-flake base and complimented the avocado interior. 

Cast magnesium wheels had a spoke design reminiscent of the classic wire wheels.

seen on tonight's walk around the neighborhood

on step one of a front end upgrade

It's just sad to see a Camaro so mistreated. 

this is the 3rd late 70s Datsun truck I've seen in this neighborhood




this is the first Maverick I've found in years




this Mercedes registration expired 8 years ago. 


First vehicle I've come across that has been driven on the rim


and another example of a BMW that has been neglected by it's owner. It doesn't even have matching tail light treatment, and has no registration decal

Ford just announced it's going to produce a compact truck, and name it 'Maverick' . Too bad all the unused names can't be considered, and they will instead, recycle a car name, for a TRUCK

 Sure, there must be a large number of people that don't know that the Maverick car existed.... after all, damn few still survive, but now that Ford lost it's mind, and makes an electric minisuv that they've decided should be named a Mustang, there just isn't any logic being used when naming vehicles at Ford anymore. 

I'm surprised they haven't tried to pair up something named a Thunderbird to go with the new Lightning truck

Why were dozens of Mavericks stored in Kansas City's salt mines?


The underground tunnels of SubTropolis have been around much longer than the companies housed inside of them. During the 1940’s, miners started work on a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit, called Bethany Falls. This process resulted the 55 million square-feet mined out of the Bethany Falls layer, with 14 million square-feet usable for underground industrial space. The miners then recycled the deposits. These deposits eventually helped to create the tarmacs at the Kansas City airport, and were used to pave Interstate 435
