Sunday 1 a.m. Bonus: 1976 Honda Civic 1200 Hatchback and an Uncut 1981 Mercury Zephyr Z7.
As we were driving back today from our weekend Seattle visit with Mom & Markus, the rain started pouring so hard that I didn't feel safe on the freeway. I pulled off and took the opportunity for a scenic detour through historic downtown Chehalis. My wife thought I blew it with Saturday's Best Worst Fairmont Durango, so this seemed like the perfect chance to illustrate to her how that car started life. But the downpour was so torrential that I could barely manage these shots, even from the shelter of our trusty station wagon. One angle is all you get.
(This was not the first time I've gotten very wet documenting a Zephyr or Fairmont, btw.)

1981 Ford Durango: Best Worst OPC Ever?
After production ended for the beloved Ranchero in 1979, Ford still needed something to compete against GM's El Camino. Solution? Send some Fairmont Futura coupes to be rebodied as pickups by the National Coach Corporation. Power came from the 200-ci "Thriftpower" six with 3-speed auto. Ford kept no records, but production is estimated at about 200 examples. And here is one of them.
I've never seen this one drive, but I've seen it parked at different points along the curb, so I know that it moves. Notice the Fairlane taillights integrated into the tailgate!
So what do you think?
