In a lifetime of car enthusiasm I've remained completely oblivious to this amazing EA Scorcher Tudor, which does indeed look fantastic! Thank you MO and Street Machine for both creating, and sharing it here. As the saying goes, there's not a bad line on it. Likewise I reckon the original EA & EB sedan had the most resolved in-period styling of any local Ford.. All of the LWB variants looked great too. We know the UAW would never allow it, but you do quietly wonder if somehow these had been polished up and rebadged as a Mercury captive-import, would both Mercury and FoA still exist today? In Canberra back in the early '70s I lived three doors down from the US Embassy, a good locale to spot unusual iron. Btw for trivia, literally every single brick in that massive edifice is Fully Imported! Anyway, one of the many staff cars at said Embassy was a two-door Falcon/Futura identical to the above red example, except in light blue metallic and L/H/D. I saw it there for quite a few years and I'm sure it was disposed of locally, not repatriated. To mention, also seen on rare occasion rumbling down my street was a not pristine yet very tough sounding Tatra 603 in sky blue, headed for the Latvian Consulate. Typically with four large occupants clad in thick black overcoats and hats, so distinctively Soviet. In a nice touch of ami the French Embassy had for a very long time a tidy FJ Holden Special as an Official Embassy car, wearing a set of their Diplomatic plates! Another I admired was the German's Security Detail vehicle (ie fast car) which was a dark fat-wheeled W140 600SE V12 uber-sedan - in what I believe to be a particularly rare spec of both SWB and R/H/D. I last saw this beast maybe a dozen years ago, still around in private use. I also recall Big Mal Fraser's unique stretched CK Chrysler going for a song at Pickles. Poignantly, in contrast to all this displayed wealth elsewhere, the Bangladeshi Embassy ran a small fleet of Datsun 120Y sedans.
