    Stunning!!

    This might be a stupid question, but what is that coffee can looking thing in the engine bay? Kind of looks cheap.

    Vacuum-reservoir canister: for vacuum-operated options like hidden headlights and power locks that this LTD does not have. (Does look like an old Folgers can, doesn't it?) ;)

    Just looks bad. As much as I like things to be original, I'd be tempted to somehow cover that thing.

    All full-size Fords of the era had them. This is from the recent 1973 LTD Brougham in green.

    Can is for hot coffee dispenser + cup holder option.
    Nearly half ended up leaking and got pulled out with first leak when out of warranty. :rofl2:
