Boosted Falcon

being in our own small corner of the world, theres a large range of cars that we simply don't see in our neck of the woods.

soo... a thread to showcase things that other people might not be aware of.

My thunderbird was a key example, a lot of people unaware thunderbirds were produces beyond the 60's/70's where they were historically large luxo convertibles.


I'll start off with the 80's Mercury Cougar, based on the Ford Fox platform.

When most people think the Cougar, they think of either:

OR


The 80's style was very... toned down, much like everything of that era, like mustangs etc.

Another american, again based around the Fox Platform is the Lincoln Mark VII, with has a very much DC LTD look about its front end.
with a 5.0 and factory airbags, i kinda like the weird shape

My dad was trying to buy an old cougar but proved to be hard to find a decent one

VERY odd cars - this is the style of his current one, which is what you'd call their "mainstream" model Unbelievably good to drive though for something out of the 60s - if you closed your eyes you'd swear you were in a modern car, they are SO quiet and smooth.

They may be good to drive, but still require a serious WTF?

The Late 80's mustangs still get a few weird looks from people, kinda a cross between a sierra and an ea

and so full of awesome

how bout a bit on e-series vans next?

Mini Moke!


Always loved these, can get them without the roll bar, and also fold down windscreens, which makes the highest point of the vehicle the seat!

(Have seen someone with a decked out bus store their moke in a modified luggage compartment)

Edit:
Found the fold down windscreen one!
