Crossovers Have Taken Over!

First, I checked to ensure the shared article wasn't a repost from April Fools Day. The title read, Ford will stop selling most of its cars in North America. In the 2020's the mighty Mustang will remain and another yet unreleased model. This decision to axe the old, tired configuration does make a lot of sense. The typical sedan does seem a little out of date.

I was thinking back to the days when I was learning to drive. At one point, I remember pointing the enormous hood of a Ford Galaxie 500 down the highway. I don't think our family owned it for a long time. It might have been a surplus government vehicle my dad bought at auction. I have no personal photos of the white behemoth. I remember liking the taillights which looked something like this image I found on the Internet.


The sedan design never made for a very practical vehicle. That said, I'd again love to test drive something with eight feet of metal sticking out in front of me. Driving such a vehicle involved a lot of calculated aiming.
