My mom bought a brand new 74 Maverick 250 auto, 4 door, couldn't kill that thing. I don't know how many miles it had on it when she traded it for a used 1981 Thunderbird. She ran a driving school for years with that car, it had dual gas and brake pedals, I used to cruise around the Safeway parking lot sitting in the passenger seat just to see the reactions of people. Got my license in that car, was super easy to drive. She wanted an Oldsmobile Omega 2 door, with a 350 Rocket, but the old man wouldn't allow it, so she ended up with the "**** brindle brown Maverick" instead.
