More thread drift.
Whoever did it did a great job making a Ford product look GMish. The squeak that developed during the trip was also very GM from my experience. Fords may have had that squeak too.
Station Wagons I have driven:
1956 Ford 2 door station wagon 312 4bbl Fordomatic mileage-I didn’t care then
1965 Chevy Impala 327 4bbl Powerglide mileage low 20s if you kept the secondaries closed
1968 Chevy Caprice 327 4bbl TurboHydro 400 mileage low 20s if the quadrajet secondaries were kept reigned in
1970 Chrysler Town&Country 440 4bbl TourqueFlight mileage dismal but I never got to drive it much
1965 Ford Turnier 1200cc V4 4 on the tree mileage high 20s
1966 Pontiac Tempest 230 OHV 1bbl Super Turbine 300 (powerglide) mileage didn’t last long enough to check it
1972 Ford Country Sedan 302 2bbl SelectShift mileage (didn’t care, USAF vehicle, what a boat to drive in Germany)
OK, famous design failure cars. DMC-12. Good idea, too pricey, bad publicity. Tucker 48. Lots of great ideas. Never got it right, forced to quit trying. Chevrolet Corvair. GM was getting it right, bad publicity killed it. Ever try to change the fan belt on one of these things?
