Ah. I had an American 1969 Falcon. Until last November, it was the only
Ford product I'd ever owned, and I bought it in 1977 as a thoroughly
trashed beater, for $90. It was going to cost $100, but when I took it
for a drive with the owner (a friend), the radiator sprung a leak and we
agreed at $90 to allow for about three cans of stop-leak. :)
