I wonder if my old Mustang is on that first autorack?
|
Three months before I born... I can't believe that some of those cars are still running, even here.
|
I had a used Mustang similar to the one on the top row, third autorack back, when I was in school in the late 80's. It was a grossly under-powered little car, ugly as sin; but it never broke down while I owned it, unlike my parent's Volare wagon. Now THAT was a POS vehicle...

I had a 1979 Mustang Pace Car. I can't tell for sure from the photo but it looks like one behind the red Escort wagon towards the middle on the top row. I sure wish I still had that car!

1978 from Ford - were those cars going to the showroom, or direct to the scrap yard? Nice catch, Donald - I've tried my hand at capturing cars and trains (a highway scene, for instance), but this photo just speaks volumes.

Very cool photo. Thanks for shareing, I love the rail fanning spot on the top of the hill.
|
I see some Escorts on there. I didn't think they made those until 81. Nice!
