Cortina

My Cortina is a 1966 DeLuxe. This car was bought by my grandmother in 1967, after it had been used as a Hertz rental car for a while. My grandmother (and grandfather) drove the car until 1991 or so, but only in nice weather. They also had a Estate, and that was the car they used when it was raining. Since my uncle worked as a Ford mechanic only Ford spare parts were used in this car, and there are also some extra spare parts left. When my grandparents passed away I inherited this Cortina, and my uncle got the Estate.

This one is in very good condition, it has never been welded, it is still on the standard clutch and the odometer reads about 98000 kilometres. The Estate that my uncle has is in worse shape though, but I hope he will restore it...

Quite basic, but not that bad

The round rear lights are distinctive

Here it still has the stone guards for the headlights
