I'll give you a little sneak peak, and let you know a nest member (not me) Is going to play a killer in a crime show on one of the discovery channels, and he talked them out of using a late 70's Mercury in Lu of his 87 wagon..... I'll have him post the details.

Either he/she does not want to outrun the police or its an off road chase scene -- that would be interesting.

That chase scene should be interesting. 

Eagle Kammback, thanks for the heads up.  I'll have to get that issue.

In the latest Coleman camping products commercial, it's done with a lot of old home movie footage.  One brief shot towards the end of the commercial features a Rambler Cross Country wagon, a black one, about a '59 or '60 model.

The last episode of Harper's Island that my wife was watching, they finally decided to drive away in the Hornet Sportabout that's usually sitting in front of the lodge, it gets shot up pretty good though, along with one of the people in the car...

the only Time Magazine I ever purchased, and ever will purchase has a small section on some cars from the 70s
one Gremlin, and one Pacer, called the Pacer a car only the Jetzons could love, and the Gremlin was apparently named after a creature that disliked mechanical stuff (I never saw the movie Gremlins, was that what they were talking about) 12.00 magazine, I got it for 9.80 because of my employee discount, most expensive magazine I ever purchased ever
Celebrate the 70s, I wish I was my age back in 1973
