Thing of beauty

Wow, caught this few months back, looks pretty daym cool.
The simplicity of this machine is quite amazing, in it’s time it was THE car to have for the working man- Ford Cortina, many an ‘uncle’ had one! (Gene Hunt from ‘Life on Mars’ also drove one.) I love the innocence of this car, the headlights don’t swoosh round like modern cars with a big ugly grin, the cortina’s headlights had a stoic pose, a serious face, ‘i am a car- i go from a to b’, no nonsense.

The Cortina can draw parralells to men, i’m sure my 70’s counterpart would not have read or paid any attention to the GQ/FHM/Esquire grooming pages.
