Last Call- Knowing When To Give Up Edition

falcon

Spotted at my local You-Pull-Um yard, this Ford Falcon saw some significant efforts toward making it a custom. Chopped roof, mesh grille and ghostly flames speak to what might have been had it sadly not ended up here. Eventually it will be nibbled away until the point when the yard’s owners decide to turn it into the ultimate custom – an unrecognizable crushed cube.

    If it were a coupe, it wouldn't be on blocks at the yard.

      That's the depressing thing. Some sedans are ungainly, but this one certainly isn't. I wish I could drag it home.
      Also, there's a convertible beside it.

    What a shame they weren't offered in four door hardtop form. I love what they started. Sad to see it end up there. It deserved better.

    That car looks sad. I wish I could cheer it up.

      The wheels may be the only part left that's worth carrying home.

    From the look of how the front and rear doors don't quite mate up right, perhaps our intrepid customizer realized, too late, that without a B pillar the car had all the torsional rigidity of a wet noodle, and oh by the way there's this big gap between the front and rear side windows, and it went downhill from there.

      Yeah, it'd need a lot of bracing, and it'd be best somewhere dry and warm.

    Another good looking 4 door is the 65-66 corvair. The supply of two doors is not endless. At some point 4 doors will become more popular.
