Style Council was a New Wave [ et alia ] band which was borne out of The Jam by Paul Weller, whose version of Harvest for the World [ Isley Brothers ] is quite lovely

Why was the Supernatural 67 Impala 4 door kit discontued?
1972coronet replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Speaking only of the body style : the Supernatural version is a four door hardtop ( Sports Sedan in Chevrolet nomenclature ) , whereas the police/taxi (9C1 , etc.) models were four door sedans (framed door glass and "complete" B-pillar). -

Another gem from the Notorious sessions of mid-late 1967. This is Mc Guinn fooling around with the then-new Moog synthesiser - a 9,000$ instrument ! The Moog was used extensively on Notorious (and to a lesser extent on other Byrds albums) - one of the first "Pop" (Rock) albums to feature the instrument ( The Monkees Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. was released in November 1967, beating the Byrds album by a couple of months ). Without further ado :

An "incomplete" recording ; a studio instrumental from Summer or Autumn 1967. Chris Hillman took the song to Manassas who recorded a slower-tempo, vocals-included version for their 1972 self-titled album. I'm keen on this up-tempo take - too bad that it never received a vocal treatment.

I can't be the only one who misread this as "prostate" initially. 😁 -
Moebius 1968 Mercury M100 Announcement

That's the 1973-1974 panel, sans embellishment. Practically every 1975-1976 Dart Sport had the brightwork , even the most basic trim level. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I wish that one of the resin casters would make not only a filler for the '75-'76 Sports , but also a 1973-1974 grille.

Moebius 1968 Mercury M100 Announcement
1972coronet replied to Erik Solie's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
With the announcement of the M-Series of The Great White North : how's about some Acadians , Beaumonts, and the 1971-1972 Swinger Special 340 , eh ? -
One of the most obvious items which make a "64 1/2" stand out is the lack of 'reverse' lamps. Those weren't mandated until 01/01/1965 (e.g., some early-production 1965 cars didn't 'reverse' lamps -- Landy's 1965 Coronet S/S -come- AWB has one tail lamp with the 'reverse' lamp, and the other one without. That was done out of necessity ; but that's another story). IIRC, the 260 V8 was the only (standard ?) V8 . Perhaps all high-perf iterations were actually 289 ?

Ford "385-Series" Engine

One of my favourite examples of the 385 is the 505 cube stroker in the Sudden Death Mustang .
