Let me guess. A Diamondback Falcon?

Tastes like chicken.

People flocked to the capital from all across the region to place their bids for the cream of the camel competition.

Eww!

I had a 1961 Falcon, 4 cylinder, 2 speed automatic.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

They were nice little cars. The Mercury Comet was its sister.

[Cobra64]

My ‘61 Falcon was in white with a three-on-the-tree.

[Doc91678]

Ah Yes. Takes me back to the case of the “Maltese Falcon”...

My grandfather’s was beige with the column shifter also.

That pic is an immature Gyrfalcon, a bird of the Arctic.

Gotta wonder how it will take to a new life in the hot desert of the Middle East…

[mfish13]

OUrs was powder blue with the cove in white. Never saw another painted like that. Fun little car. Wish I had driven one with 3 on the tree.

[mfish13]

Ah yes good memories.

[Larry Lucido]

Nice. If you drove it to Malta, Montana, it could be a Maltese Falcon.

Great post!


I have nothing to contribute other than that Cream of the Camel is coincidentally a 1972 Swedish movie produced for export, which was later banned by Ayatollah Khomeini.


The ban was lifted some years later when bedouin goats-milk lobby groups successfully established in the Court of the Grand Caliphate that "limitations on cinematic cultural treasures" were adversely affecting the mental health of the domestic goat (capra circus,) and thereby milk production for export.


It was a landmark case.


I do not kid you.

They made good “gassers”.
