1962 Ford Falcon Futura

At a time when Detroit was making impossibly huge, ridiculous gas-guzzling cars, Ford President Robert McNamara envisioned transportation that was more practical, more economical and a lot smaller. That's a good thing, according to most people anyway. An associate of McNamara's once said that McNamara, "wore granny glasses and he built a granny car."

Observations:
* This Falcon is equipped with a theft alarm. I don't know who'd steal it, but I know they wouldn't get away very fast.
* I could make fun of this car, but the truth is, beneath the skin it's the same platform as my '67 Mustang.
