Pick your favorite iconic car from any decade....

i thought it was an A35 till the guy that own'ed it put me right i see this car around a lot

The A35 has a much larger rear window. Have a look at some pics and you'll see what I mean - it's very easy to tell them apart purely by the different rear windows.
There are other details, but the rear window is the easiest to spot.

This has become my favorite thread on TB.
Not sure why we haven't seen one of these:

I had one in the early 80's. What a blast to drive. Perfect for living in SF because there weren't many other cars that short so I could fit into parking spaces that others had to leave.
And it had some serious zip with the 5 speed - not of the line but at speed.
My drummer used to call me "Parnelli Jonathan" as he held on with white knuckles...
Fun times.

Same restaurant where Nick the cook had that killer '72 Camaro that ate most cars for lunch, Kevin the busboy had one of these Mavericks. Stripes, scoops, big rear tires... and a stock 70's Ford 6. It was one of the most gutless POS's ever. Talk about a sheep in wolves' clothing...

That Vantage looks sweet! Totally unaware of it's existence until your post.
