Ford Country

Nestled snugly in between a pair of City and Borough of Sitka Ford Rangers, this 1969 Ford Country Sedan has little in common with it's automobile neighbors except both hailing from the Motor City...kind of those, 5th generation Rangers were built in the St. Paul Minnesota.

The duct tape work on the right tail light looks like a mentally challenged cartoonish version of the left tail light.  In a reverse game of "HORSE", it appears only the "O" is left in "FORD" on the magic tailgate.  Almost signifying it has but one letter left....  And yes I did say magic tailgate.  Fords tailgate in 1969 opened both down and sideways...not sure how it was accomplished but i'm sure it clunky and brute force.  I am wondering one thing....what "dyed for you"?  The bumper sticker censorship is a bummer.

I'm not a fan of censorship, especially blanket censorship, but in this case the blanket keeps the rain out.

 In the days before SUVs and third row seating, this beast could seat 9 people (more if you count the lap babies) and pushed them around with a 429...yah thats right a 7.0 liter V8.  The grill on this auto is actually very beautiful...or it was until an impressive spider-web matrix of modern era zip ties from Costco...theres just something simple  about bailing wire in comparison.  Its clear we are regressing as a culture.
