The 1963 Mustang II running prototype was displayed at the U.S. Grand Prix and previewed many of the design elements that would be incorporated into the production model, including the long hood, short rear deck, 108-inch wheelbase, the rear wheel scoops and tri-bar taillights.
I helped my friend make a custom gas cap for it last year. Got it done for MCACN. The original one disappeared decades ago. We made sure it had some patina.

Impressive !

EVs disadvantages include finding charging stations, charging times, higher initial costs, limited driving range, and battery packs can be expensive to replace. Once the battery is out the environmental hazards they present to our environment.

Imagine losing the ability to pull over and gas up immediately is a hard fact for us to lose.

Having to live with the fear the battery will run out of charge before reaching your destination,  or “range anxiety,” fear of too few charging stations, long charge times etc.

We will be holding out until we can no longer purchase a fuels powered vehicle. Bycicles are a good alternative.

Disadvantages of EVs include higher initial costs, limited driving range, and battery packs will be expensive to replace. Once the old batteries are out, the potential future hazards to the environment.

 My main concern is fear the battery will run out of charge before reaching their destination, or  “range anxiety,” the fear of too few charging stations, long charge times.

Today we have no worries as a fuel service station is "at every corner" and we pull in, fuel up and leave in no time. That's a commodity we do not want to give up.

We will be the last to entertain purchasing a mobile toaster as transportation

Ford Fairlane (Torino) Super Cobra Vignale, 1969
Super Cobra is a show car version of the 1969 Fairlane's "going thing" in performance, the Cobra. It features a unique two-part grille, a tall, wide shaker airscoop and a louvred backlite. The airscoop is a modification of the Cobra's airscoop, allowing cool, above-the-hood air to rush directly into the air cleaner, giving a power boost from the engine. The Super Cobra is powered by Ford's 335-horsepower, 428 cubic-inch-displacement Cobra Jet Ram Air engine, a popular option in the hot new car.

Public Relations, Ford Division


Starting with a 1969 Fairlane, the Super Cobra SportsRoof show car was lowered 2-inches and the front clip was stretched by 8-inches. Concealed headlights, wall-to-wall taillights, black metal louvers, and slant back windshield added to the racy exterior. The high performance 428 cubic inch V-8 engine powered the Super Cobra, and featured a tall shaker air scoop that poked through the hood. Custom interior was finished in candy-murano and hot red to compliment the red exterior.

The grandson with his favorite Hawaiian treat - best after a hard day surfing.

It's great that you have introduced him to different foods.  Unfortunately today lots of parents take the easy way out, buy a burger, fries and a soda.

Children are more likely to have a varied and balanced diet later in life if they are introduced to a variety of foods, tastes, and textures during weaning and in early childhood. They won't be shy to try anything.

Great looking grandchild,  you are blessed
