: Sounds Cool!! : ------------------------------- : : Craig, : : I'll jion your club as soon as I get around to sending you 20 bucks. I've been busily meeting and greet fellow mav owners here and we are all goind to take our rides to the Tontitown car show in September. The show is all cameros and one or 2 mopars with the occasional mustang. SO we are taking our Mavs of all different shade of disrepair and some that look good too and driving in together just to make a scene. Cool huh? : : : As a member of the International Maverick/Comet Club and editor of the newsletter, I think I can speak for the club when I say that the IMCC is always open for suggestions. : : : I would first like to just get all the Maverick people to join the club, then worry about other makes. (Yes, that means you) : : : : : : : : --------------------------------------------------- : : : : I think you need to visit the Granada/Monarch message board......What'll it be next; the AMC pacer guys wanting to join the Maverick/Comet club?... : : : : : : : Aw, come on now...They were reputedly styled after the Mercedes benz four door sedan. The square shape was intended to mimic the diginified style of a highly priced luxury cruiser. While I agree that they certainly lack the sporty appearance of the Mav/Comet, to compare the styling of the two cars is like comparing apples and oranges. The Granada/Monarch line was built to be an elegant, dignified luxury cruiser with all of the class of an LTD or Marquis, just on a smaller scale. I personally feel that these cars were special in their own way, and were extremely good-looking cars in an elegant, dignified way. They had the dignity of an LTD, and combined with their small size, seemed to me to be very handsome cars. As a result, they should be collected instead of being sent to the crusher. After all, doesn't a 351-powered Monarch make the ultimate sleeper? What could be better than beating a Camaro or Firebird while riding in refined comfort? As the owner of a '76 351 powered Monarch, what I love most about blowing other cars away in races is the looks I get! All in all, I think that Monarchs&Granadas deserve as much respect as Mavericks&Comets. I just hope that a few people who can appreciate a truly elegant car which also has some "guts" start saving these cars from the crusher. As Maverick/Comet fans, I really wish that we would help in causing this to occur.
