1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner. I have another photo taken in the same garage and possibly with the same man. I can't find your email or I would send it to you.
Definitely a 1961 Sunliner, the doorhandle built into the chrome trim was a Ford design feature at the time, as seen on some of their Thunderbirds. -Rj
The Man in the Photo has a Wile E. Coyote Tattoo on his upper arm. The car is a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner Convertible. The Road Runner Convertible only came in a 2 door in 1969. Plymouth only made 834 Convertible Road Runners in 1969 and 1970. Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Bros.-Seven Arts to use the Road Runner name and likeness from their Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons (as well as a "beep, beep" horn, which Plymouth paid $10,000 to develop)
Dad had a Ford blue 62 Sunliner convertible with the mileage maker 6. And is STP still around, it was so popular back in the day with hot rodders. It seems that cars today require their own formulated coolants, oils and transmission fluids, you think they would standardize the chems.:)
Well done for an amateur.

ReplyDeleteI had a '63 Galaxie 500 convertible and they had stopped calling them Sunliner... much to my disappointment....
