Galaxies for model year 1970 received minor trim changes. A new ignition lock was located on the right side of the steering column. Model year 1970 was the last year for the XL,[4] but Galaxie 500 hardtop coupes were also available in both formal-roof and SportsRoof body styles. The optional 4-speed manual transmission, which was available on the 429 the year prior, was dropped for 1970.
Reminds me we used to have a show here in the outskirts of Melbourne Australia, at a local airport called wings and wheels, loved it had everything from classic cars, aircraft, farm machinery ect, loved it. Some reason has not been around for 15 years now.
The Cobra was based on the AC Ace, which was designed by John Tojeiro around 1953, and he based that on the 1949 Ferrari Barchetta after seeing those on race tracks.
New Orleans Lakefront airport was also a WPA built terminal. If you go down to New Orleans, I suggest checking it out. It's just coming off a full restoration of the original facade and interior.
I had a 1970 Ford convertible. Mine was was white with a blue hood. I think it was labeled an LTD. The XL's had buckets. The Galaxies did not have retractable lights. Mine had a 429 2BBL with AC. My cousin had a 69 LTD with a 429 4bbl. It would burn rubber all day long. Mine was not as hot.
@@deefisher5157 IT's a political election sticker for a failed and kicked out president who broke laws and cost the US trillions in future damages by enacting the war on drugs against his own citizens... that sticker should be erased.
Aside from the Corona situation, they definitely don't want to go too much bigger than this. We had a similar car show at Plymouth Municipal Airport years ago called Cars and Copters. Money went to charity, but unfortunately it got too big. Much bigger than this, cars, trucks, classics, exotics, import, modern muscle. Just the location being so close to residential, the number of cars and spectators, having to shut down part of the airport was what ended it for good.
The designs of this '65 Ford Mustang GT40 Prototype car were sold to Fiberfab in California and Fiberfab sold the front end of this car and various other fiberglass add-ons through their Fiberfab company to the masses from the Late 1960's to the Early 1970's. Quite a few of these Fiberfab copies still exist today that look exactly like the original prototype Bud Anderson car being displayed here in this video.
Ford did it first and Chrysler perfected it for the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird both are Wing warriors until 1971 the Bud Anderson front end looks great

I was kinda hoping to see a bit on that Checker Aerobus near the beginning. Those are really hard to find. I've only ever seen 2 and both were in junkyards.
Hi Dennis. You have a great channel. Thank you! :) A suggestion? In the introduction of your videos, it flips from car to car very quickly and it doesn't give the viewer enough time to look at, or appreciate a very nice car. Many times I find myself having to pause and rewind the video and then pause it again to check out a very nice car. Is there a way to slow this down so the viewer can look at the cars in your introduction for a longer period of time, even just a few seconds?
Charleston Heston drives a 1970 Ford XL Convertible in Omega Man. The model was simply called Ford XL from 1967-70. It was called Ford Galaxy 500 XL from 1962-66. Here's Heston driving the Ford XL at the beginning of the trailer to Omega Man. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NUkU18MrBzU.html
I maybe mistaken, but I thought that friberglass front end was made by a Company called Fiberfab back in the 60's out of Santa Clara, Ca.!...Today I found a Company called VFN Fiberglass & Performance located in Addison, IL, there Phone # is 1-630-543-0232, that still makes a similar Fiberfab Mustang GT40 Front End! It will fit the 64 1/2 - 66 Mustang Front End, it weighs about 28 lbs and they are asking $1080.00 for it!...It can be made to Tilt Forward similar to the 65 Shelby Daytona Coupe's!...Hope this Helps someone who wants to change the look of their 64 1/2 - 66 Mustang!...I am Just Saying!...God Bless America! 😇
Sorry, not a mustang prototype. Nose was designed by corvette designer larry shinoda for the fiberfab kit car company in the san Francisco bay area. Look them up. Plenty of examples on the web.
@bandit the aussie cattle dog Don't assume I'm crying just because I complained about something that doesn't bother you. What is so difficult about flying your loud airplane higher than a few hundred feet up?
