 Near the Thunderbird and Falcon...  Near the Thunderbird and Falcon displays we spied this dynamic duo of a '69 Talladega and '69 Cale Yarborough Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II. They look just as they did the day they came off the Atlanta assembly line 36 years ago.  We've always been partial...  We've always been partial to Torinos too, another one of Ford's great sales stories. The redesigned '70 Torino might not have been the great NASCAR success the '69 model was, but the car was a good deal for people looking for a mid-size Ford with a long list of options. The '70 Torino even took home Motor Trend's "Car of the Year" award.  This '70, complete with 351...  This '70, complete with 351 Cleveland, side stripes, and corporate caps, is owned by Jim Logan of East Ellijay, Georgia.  While there were plenty of...  While there were plenty of nicely restored Mustangs and hot late-models, we concentrated our cameras on the restomod Fords...  ...and this sweet little '65...  ...and this sweet little '65 fastback owned by Mike Akins of Madisonville, Tennessee, is just the ticket with its 5.0 EFI drivetrain swap, shaved emblems, and other detail work.  The Silver Springs show isn't...  The Silver Springs show isn't just '60s and newer cars. We spotted everything from post-war Lincolns to Model As and Ts. Being the huge ZZ Top fan that I am, I had to stop for a minute and admire the '34 three-window seen here. What's more classic than a six-mile deep black paint job and flames? I just hope there was a small-block Ford engine under the three-piece hood on John Roppolo's St. Augustine, Florida rod.
