Your Best Looking Stock Ford

[oyob2003]

I have always wondered about this, although I am sixty odd and this forum is mostly younger people I would like to ask what you favourite stock standard ford would be, to start off mine would be a 1948 ford mercury, and then maybe a 32 coupe.................ken

[Disco1986]

yeah, i dont really know much about the older fords, but i like the look of the EL xr6's/8s

[Falcon Coupe]

BF GT or XY GT in Electric Blue. Or the new GT (40) if you include limited number runs.

[GTS_300_Coupe]

EB GT hands down.

Pics for proof.

[oyob2003]

if you happened to run into a tree in the mercury you need a crow bar to get you back on the road ....not a tow truck

[oyob2003]

why dont you boys type into google the 48 mercury 34 coupe 36 coupe 32 coupe, 12 cylinder zypher lincon coupe and have a look.......ken

[trick_xd]

32 HighBoy
3 window willo coupe

[oyob2003]

[oyob2003]

trick xd.............GOOD............ken

yeah mate definately showing your age there.

This discussion will get no where for a few reasons:

1) back in the anything pre 60's cars where made with style, art if you will
2) modern cars have to worry about aerodynamics etc etc,
3) alot of people wont know anything about the older cars
4) what do you call stock? A GT...or isn't that just a falcon?

The EF Gli gets my vote for "stock" and in the modern era.

[max^power]

I REALLY like the BF Tornado's! :

[keenaz]

1940 ford coupe... cant go past that beauty. Ill own one someday, when the boss gives me more pocket money hehe

[Auslandau]

hello polyal, if i got one reply i would be quite happy, maby you should research fords instead of just getting a mental block in your head or is it a spark plug you have got in there,,i only asked to get different opions and mayby to get the younger members to research the old ford which they have not seen.......and yes me present car 97 el wagon...get off your high horse and back into your car........i have seen a few of your replies and yes that is your actual picture......if you do not want to add something positive your best bet is do not reply...........................ken

[FPV8U]

New for Ford (USA) GT Supercar, they did an awesome job of bringing a legend back to life or the new Mustang.

[Polyal]

lol...ok

I know plenty about older fords...same goes with 99.9% of the other "younger" people on the forum as cars are their passion, or they wouldn't be here.

You dont have to be old to know a bit about history _2:

A GT Falcon is stock from factory, there is a difference between "stock" and "base" model. they are both stock unless modified.

As for the much older Fords, they don't light my fire in stock form, however the Mercury in the move Cobra (stallone) is one of my favourites, but it's no where near stock.

[oyob2003]

also polyal this old man can tell you more about fords than you would ever know,,until you reach 60 odd...........ken

[Polyal]

mate I really dont care what you know and dont.

I was merely pointing out that comparing a 30's car to a 90's for is impossible.

Back then they had coachbuilders etc etc doing bodies, I wish I lived in the 1920's, some amazing cars that were just as much art as they were transportation.

And dont be so quick to judge on what someone knows, great thing about the internet is that you will really never know the person behind the name.

[oyob2003]

also polyal.........i have driven them have you, or do you just look at pics...ken

[Fairlane]

'65 Ford Galaxie

as for more modern vehicles, probably a
NC Fairlane
the EB I or II Gli e EF Gli wasnt bad either (from a pure clean styling stand point)

[Polyal]

ah isn't that what you wanted people to do???..look at pics:

Ford didn't really have great stuff in the 30's...stuff like this as alot nicer IMO.

[MoreHPformyXR6]

The BF GT tuff but heaps of style & class

[oyob2003]

i will surely agree on your last sentance............. ken, i would like to get together with you sometome and have a good talk about the oldies, but i live in sydney, it is nice to see a dissagrement to can come to good relationships......ken

[Polyal]

or you could get your 32 coupe as you suggested above...



i think ill stick with the 1929 duesenberg model j dual cowl phaeton..but thats just me

[Psycho Chicken]

lol comparing a Duesenberg to a Ford? That's like comparing an Kia to a Rolls Royce.

[bad_mk1_escort]

all ford are good just the old 1's are better lookin cant wait til dad gets the 32 roadstar on the road

[oyob2003]
