    IMO the AMX has always been very underrated.

    Love the whitewall snow tires in the rear and the "no fender skirt" look.

    I agree 100% I feel the same way about the Javelin.

    In terms of timeless style, they were the best out there. That dashboard was surpassed only by the dashes in the early Corvettes, in terms of sportiness.
    The only problems these had were with handling and braking. Although, you could get a sport package that would improve the handling, at least.
    As with Fords of that size, the front springs were mounted onto the upper control arms, for whatever reason

    Four Fords, all about the same color. But at least two of the Fordniks need lessons in parking properly.

    If you're talking about the 4 turquoise-colored vehicles, I'm not sure any of them are Fords. Here's my guesses:
    1. Station wagon sitting by itself, parked backwards in its space. Has some kind of dark paint on the right fender - I think this is a full-sized '65 Chevy wagon. Might be a '66.

    On to the 3 parked next to each other, starting with the closest, first:
    2. Outline of the rear door window opening says it's a mid-sized Dodge or Chrysler product from around '63 - '64. I'm not 100% positive on this one. Could be something else.
    3. Convertible (?), with a white top - 1968 full-sized Pontiac
    4. Another 4-door sedan, with a black vinyl top. My guess is a AMC Rebel or Ambassador, around 1967.

    All different makes. Just a coincidence they're similar in color. Turquoise WAS popular then.

    You know Marshall you may be right. Initialy I was thinking that the four door that looks like it was parked by a drunkensailor (just beyond the red two door) was in fact a FoMoCo. It was giving me 64 Galaxie vibes. But it could be a 64 Plymouth too, although I think a 64 mopar would be smaller and the "C" pillar is thicker.
    To me the telltale sign is the hitch up in the rear door's window. I'll submit the following image for the groups consideration.

    Another reason why I thought that #2 car was a Chrysler product (Dodge or Plymouth) from around '63 - '64 was the SIZE. It looks quite a bit smaller than the (apparently) full-sized convertible next to it. The 'full-sized' Plymouth Belvedere-Fury / Dodge Polara-Coronet (et al) were downsized in '62.

    Welllllll, they all sure looked like four Ford's. The wagon's rear quarter doesn't look like GM, let alone Chevy. The three non-wagons, I guess I can see where they may be different. But I think the turquoises are different enough between the Big "Four" that these three cars would have to be one maker--the colors' sameness opens that probability.
