Convertibles

How about one of these?

Used to be known as the Ford Speedboat back in the day.

And the brunt of an old old joke that went something like this....

Hey Ford have a new recycled car out!

Yeah? Wots it called?

It's a Ford Pubic, made from old Corsair's (Corse Hairs)

Didn't Crayford do all the conversions on these (and the cortinas)? Considering the age, it actually doesn't look a bad job until you hit a bump and it wobbles like a jelly (or a new saab 9-3)

That's a very nice looking classic. It is yours?

I think they did, ignore thas fact that they are Ford's, back in the day you'd all be in a Ford, they were at least 40% better than a Vx then, Vx only came to rise after the demise of the Cortina and the J Cavalier absolutely slaghtered the Sierra.
