Good show! Some could use a touch more sharpening.

That last one could use some sand paper and a good coat of primer.

Cool shots. That Cortina sure brings up some good memories. My dad used to own a blue one.

Nice series. They sure don't make cars like this any more!

Any pictures of the white car in the background in #2?
European Fords make me happy.

Looks like this was a fun shoot. Love the rusty old VW, complete with luggage rack & evaporative cooler.
What is the red car in the first image?
Also, Are those European Fords the ones known as Cortinas?

im not sure what the red car was called, i think it runs on a 2 stroke motor

the brown one is a cortina, as is the green one in the picture i just posted
the red

pic 2 is a Mk2 ford escort mexico

pic 3 is a Mk1 ford escort mexico

pic 4 is a ford consoul(sp?) classic

pic 5 is a Mk4 ford cortina

pic 6 is a Mk2 jag

pic 7 is an austin allegro

sorry i should have put what they were with the pics

Some nice pics taken at some interesting angles.I love the old Fords, I have a Mexico and a Cortina myself.

I sure like the Monte Carlo edition Escort Cossie in the last pic, if I remember rightly they only came in two colors.
The Maroon/Burgundy and Green. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Escort Cossie sure does look better with the Moretti headlights

That is a classic car I will always remember and wish I owned, I even remember the commercial on TV in 91/92 with Brian May singing Everything we do is driven by you.
