Thanks. They are awesome little cars and I've done all sorts of things with it.

As little as possible while covering your needs. New awesome car may seem great, but the less you spend (total or per month) is more money you have to both put towards future financial security and towards the rest of your lifestyle.
So Ford's smallest truck can now haul a Ford Fusion in the bed, or tow three Ford Tauruses at once.
You're asking me to make sense of Ford business decisions as to what vehicles to offer in other countries? Not a chance of me figuring that out...
Nope, the Comet sedan was longer in the wheelbase as well(104.9 vs 114), Only the Comet wagon shared the Falcon wheelbase.
I have loved the Frontenac front end since he first time I saw a pic of one. I'd love to get my hands on one as wall art.
1960 was a weird year for the Comet as well. It had been designed as an Edsel, then when Edsel was binned it was hastily rebadged as just "Comet"(no brand) and shifted to Mercury dealers. It didn't become officially a "Mercury Comet" until '62.
I dearly love the Pao and really want to import one now that they are legal. Sadly buying a 100+ year old fixer-upper house means there is no chance I can afford the cost to buy a decent example and have it shipped to the east coast of the US.
In my personal experience with J-turns, this is how it goes:
The furthest I've ever driven was from Hartford CT to Philadelphia for my '62 Comet. It was on ebay with a vague description and a low current bid.
The first good scrubbing of a project car can be the most satisfying thing in the world.
Most long-haul truck have them, they're called sleeper cabs. They vary between a tiny space with a bunk to giant ones with all the luxuries of an RV.
The shredded skin on the inside of your left leg will make a nice counterpoint to the burned skin on the inside of your right leg.

If you truly want weirdly outdated Fords, it is hard to compete with the Argentinean Ford Falcon, which was produced there from 1962 to 1991! And while it was restyled several times there were all basically bumper & grille jobs that left the '62 body shell intact.
What is that? I've never seen one before. It looks like the cab is a super-shortened Dodge van with a weird nose.
That red & white truck is customized, those are later wheels, and it has a billet grille.
This only works so long, then AAA puts a note in your account and every subsequent driver demands proof of registration before they will load your POS on their truck. Ask me how I know...
I have been ridiculously lucky with every "non running" project car I've ever bought. They either started well enough to be driven onto the trailer, or started with only a bit of fiddling once I got them home.
Clearly job 1 is getting it running ,however badly. Then job two is driving it up into the woods behind it an out to the street where you drive it home with no brakes and everything feeling like it is going to fall apart.
