I hear europeans are going to start shipping those back to the continent in 2018.

This car makes me extremely confused. Just what is it? A personal luxury car?

...I don’t know. It’s a fox body so it’s not a big car at all. But the Futura was the fancy version, so kinda.

Back in the old days family cars didn’t have to have four doors.

I really hope not. I want one, it’s on my list of RWD things that I want.

Growing up as one of two kids in the ‘70s, my parents both had 2-door cars until they got a wagon when I was 11.

Yup, not that “room for five” line in the add. Man you can hardly seat five in most modern mid sized sedans. And I’m pretty sure it’s the front row thars three wide.

IIRC, it was the ‘sporty luxury’ version of the Ford Fairmont.
So, at the end of the day, it was still a Fox Fairmont.

Imagine getting so angry about a small French econobox that you have to make a post on the internet out of spite.

Not mad, just bored. I figured I wasn’t the only one tired of seeing that cute face

I’m one of four kids and my parents never had a four door.

Might have been a safety feature to keep us goofballs from opening the door at 65 mph. :)

And squeezing the six of us in to a standard cab pickup promoted family unity!

Anytime someone shouts “tastes great” into the internet, someone else will have to yell “less filling” back. It brings balance to the Force.

“Why add in a child lock feature when you can just remove the rear doors entirely and save money?”

Except you made sure the person you had a beef with stayed in the middle seat.

Trying to remember if those child safety locks existed back then or not. Not really sure but I think some cars (wagons?) had them.

I married into ownership of a ‘79 fox-body. Did my first carb rebuild on it. First drum brake rebuild, and several other firsts. So, I’m not fond of working on them, but my inner ‘80s-teenager appreciates the look. Yours is damn sharp: good to see one getting proper love.

The futuristic themeing of the ads seems out of place, considering that by the late 1970s, that sort of styling (crisp, square edges, upright grilles, hood ornaments, chrome bumpers) was already being referred to by automakers as “classic” - including Ford in their contemporary spots for the Granada.

Well if you can’t make something new, find a new way to sell something old.
