1983 Ford Escort GLX

1983 Ford Escort GLX

The early American Ford Escort and Mercury Lynx is a car that I have a sentimental attachment towards. Moreover, it's a model that has utterly disappeared from the roads. Every time I find one to photograph feels like an accomplishment of its own.
After several months of spotting this particular car at awkward moments around town, I finally managed to snag it at last! Still on the road, in relatively good condition, more than 20 years after a good portion of its compatriots failed their brakes or snapped their timing belts into oblivion. Perhaps they top off the radiator with the fountain of youth?
Get ready for a flood of 1970s-1980s automotive pictures one of these days...
