The Ford Maverick is a compact car manufactured and marketed by Ford for model years 1970-1977 in the United States, originally as a two-door sedan employing a rear-wheel drive platform original to the 1960 Falcon - and subsequently as a four-door sedan on the same platform. The Maverick replaced the Falcon in most of the world, but Australia kept selling and developing the Falcon.
The Maverick was also manufactured in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and, from 1973 to 1979, in Brazil.
The name "maverick" was derived from the word for unbranded range animals, and the car's nameplate was stylized to resemble the head of Longhorn cattle.
Initially available only as a two-door sedan, early models lacked a glove compartment, which was added during the model year 1973 (early 1973 models still lacked a glove compartment). A four-door sedan on a 109.9-inch (2.791 m) wheelbase was introduced for 1971.[16]
At introduction, exterior paint colors were named with puns, including "Anti-Establish Mint", "Hulla Blue", "Original Cinnamon", "Freudian Gilt", and "Thanks Vermillion" - along with more typical names including black jade, champagne gold, gulfstream aqua, meadowlark yellow, Brittany blue, lime gold, Dresden blue, raven black, Wimbledon white, and candyapple red. Ford's Lee Iacocca reported that the pun-names had been sent to him by a friend, who also supplied others not chosen by Iacocca: "Goodclean Fawn," "Down Umber" and "Mickey Moss."[17]
In the first half of production for the 1970 model, two engine options were available, a 105 hp (78 kW) 170 cu in (2,800 cc) straight-six and a 120 hp (89 kW) 200 cu in (3,300 cc) straight-six. A 250 cu in (4,100 cc) straight-six was added mid-year.
For the 1970 model only the 170 cu in (2,800 cc) straight-six had an option for a 3 speed semi-automatic gearbox.[18]
Commercials and advertising compared the Maverick, at $1,995, to the smaller Volkswagen Beetle, which was about $500 less.[11][19] The Pinto was later Ford's primary competitor to the Beetle in the subcompact class, while also competing in that segment with the Chevrolet Vega, AMC Gremlin, Toyota Corolla and Datsun 1200 subcompacts new to the market at that time. - Авто та транспорт
I built this kit originally in Junior High School in 1973 and took first place in the model contest. Fully wired engine, brakes and throttle. For fun I built it again this year - but bought an older version prior to the reissue.
I'm glad you partner with these model vendors and bang these builds out in a way that the average builder like me have a chance to replicate these models...
This kit has a fascinating concept; MPC and some of the other companies were very innovative in the old days. I remember a schoolmate of mine, who passed away many years ago, and his dad who was a mechanic used to drag race a red Maverick they called The Eliminator.
I would definitely buy two kits so I can have one of each version 👍👍
As always what a beautiful model. Now I believe the Mustang Maverick and Pinto were named after Horses not a TV show .
That is correct. Maverick being what ranchers called an unbranded "wild" horse.
I built the previous reissue of this kit. Just built the altered version and filled all the fender seams. Fun kit to build.
Great build as always Chris.
That’s a kit you build one way or the other and leave it alone lol, thanks Chris another great video.
It looks like a 2 in 1 kit, it is good to see the MPC company try something different. I will be buying one when it comes out. My friend will get one too. Great kit and review, have a great day!!
Now for something completely different...🤩
I can't wait to get this kit. Thanks for another fun video, Chris.
The car named for a popular TV Western series - starring a real American hero. Just like this build - a heroic accomplishment from a disparate pile of plastic parts. Built by a Midwestern hero of marathon level model making. Thanks Chris - kit done well !!!
Thanks RA, as always!
James Garner and plastic modeling! Nice tie in.
Nice build Chris! You could build two, that's a good point! 😎👍
Buying 2 (many 😆). Gonna build 1 each to eliminate the grief of swapping things around. Round 2 will be happy.
Many thanx Chris 👍👍
Good job ... pretty cool ole kit! Wish they would some newer current drag racing models!
Built this kit back when it first came out. A bit fiddly but we expected that back then! We just powered through! No Tamiya kits that you could just shake the box and it just built itself.
Nice details,good job.
Like your models, good details
This is pretty neat - thanks for the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
nice job.
Nice job, I remember guys putting V8’s in those cars and jacking up the back with L 60’s😮
Very cool...
Odd you said there's hundreds of kits out there you haven't built!!!!
I bought the Revell 68' himi dart 2 in 1 kit today. Was looking for your build of this kit.
I take it you haven't built it.
Oh well it happens. 🙂
It's interesting you no longer use the drill and socket to scuff the tires, that's one of your tips I picked up on a few years back.
I still do, but if the fit on the wheel is a bit loose I use the sanding sponge so that I don't stretch the tire too much.
When that happens to me, I cut the metal axle in half and stick it in from both sides of the rear end.
I really enjoy the builds, but we need a figure model build.
When that happens to me, I cut the metal axle in half and stick it in from both sides of the rear end. 1:14:44
Is that just soapy water your brushing on the right before you put the decal on?
Does anyone know when the first molded model kit came out and what was it
👍🏁🏁👍
I want one if it's out
Nice Build. Do you put soap in the water for lousing up the decals.
Yes, a couple drops of the cheapest dish soap from the dollar store.
@@hpiguy And that helps with old decals I hope I will try that next time with my decals THANK YOU
A little spindley, HUH.😊
Ok ! how do you keep your hand so steady when you do the trim free hand ? I'm 68 years old and my hands have a mind of their own. I need to tape everything, and then I get runs. Man I hate getting old!
I identify with you. Hang in there. The alternative is not wanted yet. I like Chris’: “Do it your way”!
What glue do you use?
Plastruct Bondene is my personal favorite. Modelroundup.com sells it by the bottle or case.
When I was a kid I loved the chrome now I’m in my 40s I hate the chrome
Fun fact: Ohio George (R.I.P.) never raced the 1:1 car. He only built it because MPC paid him to do so. George's car looked completely different from the kit _ for one thing, it didn't have the massive hood scoop _ which leads me to believe that MPC designed and tooled the kit before George had built the 1:1.
Turns out that huge scoop acted as a huge air brake. George changed to a more standard surround for the blower scoop. Living in Ohio, the only time we actually saw this car was at Autorama shows. He quickly experimented with a turbo alcohol funny car Maverick, it too became a show car. The Mustang turbo gasser was his constant ride at national events.
Hmmm. That doesn't look like a skill level 2 build to me. More like a 4 or 5.
