At that time, all Ford car design proposals had two large round taillights with tail fins, that was a given. When you make dozens of Ford rear end proposals you are taxed to draw something new! So one of my proposals was inverted canted tail fins with the fins starting from the top of the front fender terminating at the bottom of the back end. Needless to say it was different. It was selected to be the ’61 Ford. But Bob MacNamara did it in by making it mandatory that Ford and Mercury share common sheet metal. I was told that they spent a million dollars on my design before it was scrapped. In today’s dollars that might be seven or eight million. (Incidentally, if you go to this . It will calculate any inflation adjusted conversions for any number, in years going back into the 19th century as I recall, into any date you wish)

My wife and I have been whoitut a car since my heart attack in 2004. I wasn’t allowed to drive until I passed a stress test, after my first heart attack. Shortly after my heart attack our lease came up for renewal but because I still hadn’t passed a stress test we decided to let the car go and not get another one.It is only the past few months that my strength has started to return. I even got to go fishing a few times this season. We are now ready to get a car again.It is so much of a pain to try and get rides from place to place. I am sure that adds to my stress. The only things I want in a car, other than my wife and myself, is that it keeps working, and I must be able to fit my two float tubes in the back so I can take friends fishing with me.So I would say a car is in our future, near future. At least by next fishing season which is April 15, 2009

The new dsigen was considered the double diamond’ or coke bottle styling. The Charger five hundred and Daytona’s body styling was evolved for better performance. Was this answer helpful?
