Still 3 more than today's POS econoboxes so it's all relative.

Early hacker, no doubt.

Actually Fords/Lincolns have the best ride of any American car. They're the
only ones left with body-on-frame construction and the ride is superb.
Unfortunately they use the shitty new-era metric engines that are all crap.

Besides all that complaining on acknowledged econo Ford shitboxes that
weren't typical at all of Ford, go for a ride in a Boss 429, or 428 CJ or
even a Mach and see if you still have something bad to say about Fords after
you clean the piss off your pants ;-)
