my internet is officially a pile of sh*t.. I did not see one article about this. From such ambivelance, a car quickly drawn is still a a favorite. I am one who truly belives the military is NEEDED just to build a goddamn automobile, the falcon was a true winner. the v8 with 30mpg. Only a few things to change to make it a legend, and that is a mustang. The true mentality would have more old subaru like chassis weighing in the same as a falcon, AWD and an engine extremely economical with power to boot- light enough to carry. I cannot say this guy was a total failure, for the time of the thought in history was ahead. Just not good enough. RIP. Another amazing life story, old scvhool american version…ALWAYS a military involved..ALWAYS.
