I had a '62 2 door Falcon Futura Sports Sedan white with a black vinyl 
top. It looked like a shrunken T-Bird and thought it was a Jeep. One 
Christmas holiday I was at my cousin's in NJ when a blizzard hit so bad 
the NYS Thruway was closed. The Taconic Parkway was open so I took that. 
My mother whined all the way but we made it to Troy. The 170 was no fire 
breather but it kept on going.

It was diametrically opposed to my '62 Continental if you want to talk 
about tanks. 5400 lbs at the curb with a 430 engine. It had a fondness for 
fuel pumps and the forward opening hood made for a miserable experience. 
They should have done it like the Triumph Spitfire where the whole front 
end swung up and you could it on a tire while working on it.
