For your GOP candidate, the 1968 Ford Country Squire. Blue collar, conservative, honking V-8 that gets 8 MPG, intended for big families.

Mine would need the rear facing 3rd seat and whitewalls as well, in blue with a vinyl roof and luggage rack*.

That “W” license plate indicates it was plated around 2011. Probably has changed owners a few times, but that and the Giants sticker makes me think this Volvo isn’t a Colorado native.

Whatever salt is used it’s sparing. I’ve only ever seen sand and mag chloride.

Hey Ford, can we please get a Flex Country Squire before production ends? Please?

OK, so you want to do a prerunner 9th gen F-150, and you want to source it from a Lightning? While I think that is sacrilege, fine. What I can’t understand is the swapping of the TIB IFS with a TTB. TIBs are commonly used in prerunner setups, and if you’re not going to do a full 4x4 conversion, the TTB just adds…

And “DOHC?” I mean, who cares how many lobe-adorned cylindrical shafts there are in the engine, much less that they’re positioned above the cylinder head?

Give me an early 80s Ford truck as period-correct as possible, like this ‘82 F-150 Flareside 4x4 with the tape-stripe XLS package.

Plymouth Arrow wants some love too

Like I said, the right circumstances.

I thought Congress reversed the protection limit when the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012 passed.

Under the right circumstances he can drive...

OK, so no pics I guess.

Yeah but open trunk lid. That’s like cheating man.

#5 Damn, that sucks. Years ago I worked as one of those “lot techs” and our sales staff never once had to shovel snow, scrape ice, straighten the lot, wash a car, do an emissions test, or do pretty much anything else they didn’t want to do.

1st Gear: At least part of this phenomenon can be chalked up to the improving economy and job market, especially considering the NADA only started this study in 2011, near peak unemployment following the recession.

I wonder what kind of speed the cop had to hit before getting this kid to pull over. From the pic it looks like Maine State Troopers have switched over to winter tires; those look like Goodyear Eagle Ultra Grips on the Taurus which are rated to 130 MPH.

Don’t forget the whale skin hubcaps, all leather cow interior, and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah!
