I just saw on the news that Congress is planning to vote on a bailout of the auto industry next week. Once upon a long time ago I was a dedicated Ford man. Several things happened to change that. 1) I bought a brand new Ford Maverick. As I recall, in less than one year the car was rattling! 2) Something in the driver’s seat of another new Ford broke, dropping me backwards into the back seat. Although...

A Ford Maverick in the color known as "Anti-Establish Mint" Remember the Ford Maverick? No? It was a forgettable car from the 1970s that sold well in its era, but never made it into the 1980s. Trying to be "too cool for school,"the marketing geniuses at Ford sold the car (and no, we are not making this up) in the follow colors: Anti-Establish Mint, Hulla Blue, Original Cinnamon, Freudian Gilt, Thanks...

Welcome to Down On The Street , where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. We tend to think of the Ford Maverick as a pure Malaise Era vehicle, and the two '74s we've seen in this series ( this one and this one) reinforce that impression. Don't forget, though, that the Maverick first hit the showroom floor in pre-Malaise 1969; I've...

Here's another type of car that used to be everywhere , but that seemed to suddenly disappear from the road at some point during the 1990s. I found this example parked just down the street from the red '61 Plymouth Valiant , and it's in decent shape and a 2-door to boot.

In our last What To Drive In '75 episode , we saw the 1975 Ford Maverick Grabber beat the 1975 Oleg Cassini AMC Matador in the poll. Today we're going for an all-import matchup, though it's a classic GM-versus-Ford contest as well. The Opel Manta and Ford Capri were bitter sales rivals across the Atlantic, and both had sufficient sales in North America that they were not unfamiliar on our shores....
