Carspotting: Ford Fairmont Futura

The ad below is hilariously dramatic.

According to Wikipedia, this was Ford's compact offering, bookended by the Maverick and the Tempo. And notice the "unusual two-piece vinyl roof." Exotic.

    Awesome commercial. I think we have Star Wars to blame for it- maybe the Viking missions too.

    I like the Futura, very modern and clean styling for being a '78 car! Compare it to the Granada, for instance.

    Need I remind you that the Fairmont was actually a fantastic car?
