My mom drove a 1970 Ford Maverick when I was a small boy. I don't remember any of the specs on it, but it was red and had a really tough dashboard.Yes, I was referring to the years in which the two were produced concurrently. Maverick was to Comet what Mustang was to Cougar.
We were driving to town one day as the county was blading the dirt/rock road. There was a windrow of dirt and rock right in the middle of the road.
I was standing up in the floorboard clutching the dash as Mom decided she should cross over.
She got high-centered on a bowling ball size rock.
I lost my baby teeth and didn't get my adult Chiclets for a couple more years.
I got to sing that Christmas song with some enthusiasm, two years in a row.
