Interesting coincedence, my grandpa's first Ford and last car was a 65 Caliete, fawn brown, with a stick (of course) It was passed around like an old family baby crib to whom ever needed it and lasted untill the early nineties when nobody in the family wanted the poor thing anymore. It was driven away by a stranger.
Car was indestructable.
They don't make cars like that any more. And one finds few women like her anymore either.
Great find. Thanks for posting.
