...pretends to put characters in. You've got your usual two, maybe four-five, hippy-type guys climbing into your old car and going off to a beach. To groove, you know, To screw around, scream we're free! to rocks and sand. You've got your passing array of loonies, the guys who carry around pomegranates and sleep with logs.

At Ford, the major work has been done on the full-size cars, including the LTD, which will be wider and lower, boast such features as a "flight cockpit" instrument array, a short rear deck and the long hood that is fast becoming a Detroit cliche. Mustang, the car that inspired the look, is becoming fast, period. Next year's "Mach 1" model will be able to live up to the name of its "Cobra Jet Ram-Air V8" engine. Top speed...
