These shots come to us courtesy of Denver DOTSBE specialist Kitt; I'm not sure how close this car lives to the '72 Maverick sedan, but it's likely that the two have crossed paths during their travels. The bumpers and grille suggest that we're looking at a '73 or '74 model here, so I'm choosing the latter year at random; you Maverick experts are encouraged to point out year-specific identifying features for us.

Come to think of it, the Pinto may be the only high-production Malaise Ford that's disappeared more completely than the Maverick; I haven't seen a Pinto on the street for years.


The Maverick really wasn't a bad car, although the Fairlane-esque leaf-spring suspension and was getting a bit long of tooth by the mid-70s.


This one is in very nice original condition, down to the factory hubcaps and California emissions sticker on the side window.
