Hello all,

I am not sure if you remember seeing this. Mechanics Illustrated 1981 Ford Fairmont



I was driving down the road, and I was like, wait? Is that the car? I took as many pictures I could.

That's pretty wild. Still on the road 42 years later. Looks like the same paint and rims. Great eye to recognize it and catch some pics.

I was more in shock. I thought, that is a one of one car. I thought I was seeing things. The only thing I see different is the center cap is off. Looks nice.

To be honest. I never read the article I just remember seeing the cover. I should buy it and scan it in
