Drove several, even crashed one.

IMO, the Pinto was a better car in every way. The original Maverick was uncomfortable, not enough legroom in the front for me. The car I drove was AC equipped but there were no vents in the dashboard itself. Ford added the vents in a panel hung from the bottom of the dash. My left knee was cold, the rest of me got no cold air at all.
Based on the original Ford Falcon, which means it shared its basic structure and suspension with the Falcon, Comet, Fairlane, Meteor, Mustang, Cougar, first gen Torino and Montego, Granada and Monarch, Lincoln Versailles.
This was good and bad. Good, because parts to improve the Mustang's bad steering geometry and suspension flaws will usually fit the Maverick. Bad, because the above mentioned steering geometry and suspension flaws.
Also, they rusted out faster than Pintos did.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
