It was America's first modern subcompact; as 'The Simple Machine' it combined rugged Ford durability with looks that belied its bargain basement starter sticker. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Secondly, the Maverick was an attainable junior supercar. When ponies got pricey, the Maverick Grabber stepped in to fight inflation. And if the Mustang had the Cougar as an upscale cousin, the Grabber could have the Comet GT as its partner in crime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Indeed, it was in the third area of small car luxury, that Maverick LDO (Luxury Décor Option), and Mercury Comet with Custom Option, were truly innovative. Ford was the first domestic to break the previously accepted tenet that luxury went with size. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Still, all plush and no sport makes Henry a dull lad. In Super Stock and Pro Stock, the Ford Maverick was raced by Dyno Don Nicholson, Fast Eddie Schartman and Gapp \u0026amp; Roush to victory! Overall, the Ford Maverick was a winner on the track, and in the showroom. Thanks a couple of million Henry! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Marc Cranswick's homage to the small US Fords of the 1970s is essential reading for all Maverick and Comet enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Cranswick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1787116697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781787116696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Veloce Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Marc Cranswick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49000469332223,"sku":"9781787116696","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cranswick-on-ford-maverick-and-marc-cranswick-9781787116696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
