A little info on the Holman-Moody Falcon above:

The Ford Custom Car Caravan 1963-1965

"Under the leadership of Ford Special Projects Division, the Ford Division conceived the Ford Custom Car Caravan in 1962 to create and campaign customized and performance-themed Fords  to the youth market  throughout the United States.



The Caravan started in fall 1962 and first relied upon cars built in-house, then presented customized factory cars built by commissioned shops to factory specifications. Ultimately, the Caravan adopted privately created custom cars based upon production automobiles.

As the Caravan grew and more custom cars were needed to fill at least three regional Caravans, Ford reached out to additional customizers and eventually either commissioned or adopted the work of the Alexander Brothers, George Barris, Bill Cushenbery, Ford's prototype maker Dearborn Steel Tubing, Fostoria Customs, Dean Jeffries, and Gene Winfield.

To meet auto enthusiasts' parallel and growing interest in muscle cars, Ford expanded the Caravan to feature performance versions  including  Dearborn Steel Tubing's 1963  Mustang III designed by Vince Gardner and  the 1962 Holman Moody Challenger III.



The Ford Custom Car Caravan concluded sometime during the 1966 show season. The Caravans showed that Ford Motor Company was a proponent of custom cars. Ford's efforts gave credence and publicity to customizers like George Barris, Gene Winfield and Vince Gardner.




For four years, Ford presented its Caravan at trade shows, International Show Car Association shows, Ford dealerships, county and state fairs, shopping malls, and teen fairs.




Holman-Moody also build a special Falcon Competition Coupe with a chopped fastback roof and sectioned body. Work was done by Lujie Lesovsky. This car was in the caravan for 2 years with steel wheels and Moon discs later in 2 different colours. A high-output Ford 289 V-8 and 4-speed installed."

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Ed Hugus had a great sense of humor, and often wore his "Bus Driver Cap" while at Le Mans. Here he poses with the Cobra he set up to race at Le Mans in 1963

I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe
