“I think I’m gonna be sick!”
Yeah, well... I had to LIVE with these people.
Gramps was a Mechanic at McCoy Ford in Fullerton for 42 years, and that 351 Torino was the hottest thing we ever had in the driveway while I was growing up.
Wonderful.
The front suspension upper A arms attachment points, were not the traditional to the upper control arm shaft ends.
Instead, there were stubby links, attached to upper control arm shaft ends, and then each end (base of the “A”) was attached to its respective stubby link.
The result was a flexible camber that helped to keep the tire tread planted through turns and on banked oval “slow” turns. The Galaxy did not roll much at all, and the front tire did not “disappear” under its wheel.
But tires take still a beating from side loads, and all the cars in the videos (tx) have my sympathy. The Cortinas have so much engine spirit, and their tires barely can keep up.
