Hard to tell if that's a 4dr hard top or a four door post model.   Most likely it's a post car.  I found out this summer that even though they both look the same, the back windshield does not interchange.

Love that photo!

There is a road out here that used to be full of dips that our dads used to take us for rides until they leveled it out in the 70s. This photo is what we thought was happening!

Had to save this photo and share...thanks, Jeff!

Are you thinking about the same road as I am, the 138? That was the first thing that came to mind when seeing that picture.

Well...we all need a smile..... I believe this is from the Ford Test grounds in Michigan..... I have heard stories about this hill area....There is some famous shots of a mustang doing the same thing on this track as well....

Have a great day!

No...I am thinking of Baseline Road in Claremont/Upland area. The stretch that was east of Padua Avenue to Benson Ave.

"Dad...take us on the dips!"

Last time was probably in our '66 T-bird.

OK, I guess I missed that one before it was reworked.

Great shot!
Ecode 70D - it's a hardtop. The post model have a small quarter light in the back door, this one doesn't.

    That's the same model that my brother has.  They have a lot of pieces on them that are hard to find and are only for that particular model.  I think it's a model 57A, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, it is a 57A. Just like mine.

I grew up in a different era, but I had an Escort in high school that I did that with! Dad didn't like it when I came home with no muffler and a glasspack clamped to it!
