BTW, do you recall the Part # on the BIG BOX the '12 COPO drove out of, @ SEMA?

20129560... 2012 for MY, 9560 for "heritage"...



The GOOD part about the Falcon is it prompted GM to create the Chevy Twice...which begat the Camaro-Nova...and of course the Falcon begat something called a "Mustang"...

Edsel?! Well...a 1000 comics would have to work a lil harder to come up with 15 minutes of jokes!
Thanks for the education on that. I suspected something like that but had no idea.

Oldsmobile wasn't a failure until the 80s. If I recall correctly, the Chevy Chevette and Oldsmobile Cutlass were the number 1 selling cars for a period of 77 through about 81.............right about the time the Japanese started to have real alternatives.
