    Well, that confirms it: hell is indeed REAL! You took the pic to prove it!

    I love that cabover blue truck by the white Jeep! What kind is it?

    Love the Opel GTs.

    Did you just run across these other Festies on your trip, or are they friends' or relatives' cars? On my trip south (I ain't posted about it yet but I plan to) I only saw one Festiva, off on the side of the highway. I think I saw one Aspire, too. That was it!

          A FC 150. They are just a little longer than a CJ 5. Kaiser Willys also made a FC 170 that was longer and could be had with a hydraulic dump bed and duel rear wheels.

                  I just saw the Festys in my travels.The convertible (?) and black one were at a car lot in Paducah.Talked to owner and he copied down this sites info.Maybe he'll join.
                  The Opels were on a corner in Princeton a few miles from where we were.We drove around a lot.Lots and lots of 70's Ford trucks and 80's Chevy trucks sitting around in fields......RUST FREE !!!!

                          They sure don't make headstones now like they used to. The old ones are so ornate and intricate and much more elaborate. Enjoyed the photos.
