I spotted another rarity today, a '65 or '66 Falcon Ranchero, high-line model evidently, it looked to have extra chrome along the sides.

on a trip from Philly to Newburgh, NY. These were all on some sort of highway: '69 AMC AMX. Looked nicely restored 1960's vintage P1800 Volvo (Red - and I won't give up the P, since the guy I know that is president of the Volvo club and owns 2 siad he uses it!) Local road, a 68ish Ford (maybe a Fairlane?) 2 door, fastback style. COulda been the Mercury version, but it wasn't too close. Not seen, but I found out the my former BIL is in the process of restoring a 1965 Corvair Monza. Not something you see everyday either. Oh, and in a local pub parking lot Friday, a Ford Dually pickup. With huge chome whells (dubs, or what ever size they actually are) with rubber band tires. Even on the duallys. made very little sense. |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (May 20, 2008 1:22 pm) IIRC, it's really only the cheapest of the cheap...the 1.0 3cyl/stick models that get good fuel economy. By the time you got up to the 1.3 4-cyl/automatic version, your fuel economy was down to something like 30/34...and that's before the EPA revised their estimates downward for 2007/2008! So in reality, an Accord, Camry, or Altima would match it on the highway. Even a bigger car, like an Impala, or a LeSabre with the 3.8, would come close.

Replying to: british_rover (May 20, 2008 1:46 pm) A few years ago an old co-worker of mine bought a 99 Metro sedan, the highline model, with 30K on it. She paid something around 5 grand for it, and I kind of smirked. Looks like she could get that money back now.
