They Ain’t What They Used To Be, Don’t Be Fooled…

This is where they went off track IMO View attachment 206115

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. Wasn't that the iteration between the Fox body and when they started looking more like the late 60's body style?

Yeah, that was right after the fox body

If you didn't claw your eyes out at the Mustang II, you'll survive the Mach-E.

The Mustang II Ghia was the one that I thought ruined it. Looks like a damn Granada.

I felt the same about the Fox body mustangs. Just damned ugly cars.

Well I know who gets to be the first person on my ignore list!

To be fair, the Fox bodies' hey days were in the 1980's and there is almost nothing that I liked about the 1980's.

That’s ridiculous! I loved a lot of things about the 80s…. I just don’t remember what those things were.

I remember. Disco was still hanging around early on, then there was the "Urban Cowboy" phase (I had some cowboy boots and I wasn't afraid to scoot 'em at the bar!) I was working in the restaurant/bar business and had a tendency to hang out at work after my shift and sometimes close down the bar. That's the general stuff, but there are details left out (both purposely and accidentally).

Ah who thought that was a good Idea?

Funny you mention Ghia...

WHO DESIGNED THE FOX BODY MUSTANG?​

Three design teams, two from Michigan and one from Italy, worked tirelessly on sketches and clay models for the Fox Body. Some of the designs were based on the Mustang II, while others drew inspiration from the popular wagons of the time. It was Jack Telnack's influence, though, that encouraged the team to take risks with the new design.

Jack Telnack was the vice president of design at Ford of Europe. Plus one-third of the team worked at the Ghia studio in Italy. So it shouldn't be a surprise that the Fox Body Mustang shows some European influence.

I just thank (enter you’re choice), that my beer wasn’t listed.
Killians——- Irish Red
Dundees——Honey Brown
And I darn sure know who makes Glenlivet

That has one error. Far right second from bottom is incorrect. Hoegarden is owned by Willy the pimp.

Tip o the hat.

Man that Miller-Coors outfit owns some real crap stuff. Just found my beer!!!! Oh nooooooo!!!

Husqvarna isn't an MTD brand. Pretty sure they're still the owned by Husqvarna, but I know they're not an MTD brand.

Lots of the old beers we grew up with in the 70s and 80s are owned by the Pabst marketing company and are contract brewed. Olympia, Oldstyle, PBR, Strohs, Lone Star, etc..

While looking for a grass catcher to attach to my Husqvarna riding mower I found that the MDT brand is made by Husqvarna, heck the catcher sold under MDT is marked with Husqvarna branding

Perfect timing, a friend at work was just talking about this today. He mentioned Broyhill and Lane furniture. Only names used for cheap furniture these days.

MTD is a mega corporation that has the lowest bidder build their stuff…

How about Lazy Boy. Is that name worth anything anymore? I'm currently sitting in one of their recliners from the early 90's and it definitely needs replaced. Hope to have a good run with the next one also.
