I saw a Maverick for the first time when I was six years old and I said "wow, what a beautiful car, I want one of those when I grow up!" Unfortunately, I never grew up but that's beside the point. If Ford didn't market them very well, than why was it one of THE MOST successful cars Ford ever made as far as sales went???...
: Come on people, how many of you, when growing up
: said "Wow dad, I want that car when I turn 16."
: If you asked people to name a the top 10 or 15
: "MUSCLECARS",or a HOT ROD or car of the 70's do
: you think Maverick would come up.
: NO, maybe one out of a 10-15 thousand. How many
: times has a Maverick been featured in a movie, tv
: show,video,.... When was a Maverick featured in
: NASCAR,NHRA,IHRA,SCCA,IMSA,....I cannot recall
: ONE. Yes there may have been one or two, but did
: they have a real chance.Stock the handling sucks,
