That's pretty wild. I'd like to see more of it.

Stopped by storage lot to check on camper after eating breakfast with 2 of our sons. This was fun to see - not something I expected:



Check the grill on this one in the storage lot. 300 pounds of vintage chrome gone wild?:



The other one was just out for a drive on a beautiful Easter day.

I don't know what the deal on this place is, whether it's a place of business or hobby shop but there are always old cars there. Usually more than what's in this pic.

Looked like a classic seventies errand run.

Is this a 70 Fairlane? Did they make 4-door Torinos (71)?

From Wikipedia

The model line-up for 1970 initially featured 13 models. The base model "Fairlane 500", was available in a 2-door hardtop, 4-door sedan, and 4-door wagon.
Next the mid-level "Torino" was available as a 2-door and 4-door hardtop, a 4-door sedan and station wagon. The 4-door pillarless hardtop was a new body style for the 1970 model year .
The "Torino Brougham," the top trim level, was available as a 2-door and 4-door hardtop, and a 4-door station wagon.
The sporty "Torino GT" was available as a 2-door SportsRoof and convertible.
The performance model, the "Torino Cobra" was available as a 2-door SportsRoof only.

To add to this extensive line-up, the Falcon name was added mid-year as a new entry-level intermediate. The Ford Falcon compact model continued for the first half of the 1970 model year, but was discontinued as it could not meet new federal standards that came into effect on January 1, 1970.
As a result, the Falcon model name was used as the new price leader for the intermediate line. The 1970˝ Falcon was available as a 2-door and 4-door sedan, and 4-door station wagon.
These were the lowest priced intermediate models with less standard features than the Fairlane 500s.
The Falcon was the only intermediate that used a rubber floor instead of carpet, and was the only series that offered a pillared 2-door sedan.
Also introduced mid-year was a Torino 2-door SportsRoof model, which was marketed as a low price alternative to the GT.

Wow, we had that exact same car when I was a kid. It replaced a 65 4 door Galaxy. Mom hated the Torino and it got traded the next year for a 2 door Maverick which she liked enough to drive till 1981.

Back in the 80s there was a guy around town that had a Gremlin with a pretty stout SBC. Cool car.

Saw this today in an Aldi’s parking lot. Not a common occurrence to see a car like that provided it wasn’t a clone.
