First off, I worked for GM for 32 years, retiring in 2009. I have always said that if I didn't work for GM, that all I would drive is a Ford. I guess my love of Fords started when I was a kid in the 1950s. My Dad had a really cool 1951 Ford Victoria, light green with a black top, 3 speed with overdrive. Grandpa had a white 48 Ford coupe and a dark green 50 Merc. There was just something about the sound of those flatheads with dual exaust that I loved. I have owned several Fords over the years, even though I worked for GM. I had a 66 Mercury Monterey, A 68 Mustang, 302 hardtop, and a 72 Ford F100 with a 390 and a 3 speed on the column. I am now the owner of a 1969 Ford Torino GT that is in the process of being restored as a driver.
