Rounding Up The Mustangs

Okay, these aren’t photos of horses, and the first two aren’t even Mustangs! But there are plenty of them, plus other Ford and Mercury models to ogle.

Canon Sure Shot Z135 with Kodak ProFoto XL 100 (my second to last roll)

Ricoh GR1 with Kodak Ektar 100

Yashica Electro 35 GX with Kodak T-Max 100

Boy, if somebody told me they had a mint '56 T-bird, I wouldn't necessarily be thinking so literally. Nice shots; photo ops galore!

That's a big lot of Fords and Mercuries, Phil. I was glad to see a Falcon in the bunch, but didn't find our 1981 base model Fairmont-- not very muscular (2.3 l engine) but took us comfortably to and through the Canadian Rockies. Thanks for a good dose of car nostalgia.

Thanks, Robert, and Bill.

I had a red '81 Fairmont wagon for a while, very used and worn out. But it got me around for a few months until the transmission had a hemorrhage. Then I got the follow-on LTD (same Fairmont base, but with a smoother body). I kept looking for the V-8 powered model, but to no avail. Decent cars, but they weren't made to last. I think the crusher program a few years back got what was left of them off the road.
