As a Dallas Cowboys fan, that remark "Back when they were actually good", brutal but true. Man that hurts lol

The 9th gen F-150 platform was to me the culmination of 30 years of Ford truck evolution. It looked so good and the full size Broncos from that gen are my favorite. The 7th gen get's a close second place

THAT WAS ME! I've been trying to get anyone to look into the 33 Ford for a while! Thanks for coming through for me! You got a subscription for life!

The escort S/R was actually way more than an appearance package, they had eibach coils, roush intake and air box, tuned ecu, and much more. Was a competitor for the neon ACR of the time and both were really neat cars I think.

For some reason this brings to mind the super obscure AMC special editions of the Pierre Cardin Javelin, the Badger Javelin, Rebel Mariner, Gucci Hornet, Oleg Cassini Matador, and of course less obscure Levi’s etc…..
@dillonrio7330
This is one of few car related channels I look forward to watching. The information is presented extremely well and you can tell the hard work that's put in behind the passion in your voice. 💯
@TechTrekker-DMV
Keep up the great work on your videos - very interesting and glad you’re not an AI.

Good video. You keep doing your homework and the efforts are appreciated. I liked the fact you mentioned the Mercury Grand Marquis LSE and Lincoln Town Car Continental Edition. That was really good to see. They sold another version of the Grand Marquis in the Middle East called Mercury Grand Marquis GCC. Middle East (GCC) Middle Eastern 2003 Grand Marquis LS, equipped with the Export Handling Package featuring '03–'05 LSE wheels GCC-spec 2003 Grand Marquis LS A rare long-wheelbase version of the Grand Marquis, the GSL. Mercury Grand Marquis GSL side view The Grand Marquis and its Ford Crown Victoria counterpart were marketed in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC-Spec vehicles initially offered a lower price, reliability, and relative simplicity (compared to German and Japanese luxury sedans). Nevertheless, the GCC-spec Mercury Grand Marquis began to lose market share in the 2000s towards updated competitors (such as the Holden-produced Chevrolet Caprice and Dodge Charger. Grand Marquis LSE: At the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, Mercury introduced a new trim package for the Grand Marquis named LSE. Using the basis of both the LS trim and the Handling & Performance Package, the LSE added five-passenger seating with front bucket seats, a floor-mounted shifter, and a center console. The center console featured a large storage bin with a cigar lighter, dual cup holders, and a padded armrest. Options on the LS, such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel with temperature and audio controls, electronic climate controls (EATC), and dual 8-way power seats, were standard on the LSE. In addition to these features, the LSE included all mechanical upgrades found on the Handling & Performance Package and used the same lace-spoke 16-inch wheels on P225/60TR16 tires.[27] According to Mercury, the LSE offered a compelling balance of performance and comfort. It was introduced to the lineup to boost consumer interest in the model and went on sale beginning midyear 2001. For the 2001 model year, the base price of the LSE was US$28,295. All LSEs are Grand Marquis LS models according to their VIN and are badged as such. LSEs did not have a separate VIN designation. The LSE name was only found on the front carpet mats included from the factory. 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Ultimate Edition (GCC-Spec) in Kuwait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM9FOfW9c0w Trim variation C-pillar badging on a 2009 Grand Marquis GSL Middle Eastern versions of the Grand Marquis have slightly different options and features than their North American counterparts.

In 1982, the Grand Marquis was introduced as the replacement for the Ford LTD Crown Victoria and wagons, but it was always sold in Mexico as a Ford model. The Grand Marquis wagon was produced and sold for the Mexican market as the Ford Grand Marquis Country Squire and sold through the 1984 model year. From 1982 until 1984, it was manufactured in Mexico. When it was reintroduced for the 1992 model year, it was imported from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. Wearing both Ford and Mercury badging, the Grand Marquis adopted a Ford Blue Oval on the trunk lid after 1998. From 1992 until its demise in 2004, all versions were equipped with a real dual-exhaust setup. Although the Ford Grand Marquis was considered a sales success in Mexico and developed a reputation for luxury and prestige as the most expensive domestic nameplate available for sale, as in the United States, sales began to decline as the model aged and more modern competitors were introduced to the market. For the 2005 model year, Ford de Mexico replaced the Grand Marquis with the Ford Five Hundred, sold through 2007. Lincoln Town Car Continental Edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6ruSHM3Ojc

Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about the Americas Cup called "Take it Back" which had a very clever line "no we don't want a bucket of blood, just a cup is all we could use, just a cup"
@07Sandia
All of these crack me up (with the exception of that "Marauder car" - that was pretty awesome). I think the manufacturers just made up "editions" or deals with celebrities/sports people to get rid of these cars and trucks that were by no means special - at all. And hey Green Hawk - I'm going on 60 and have never heard of that boat race thing either so don't sweat it. It must not be all that special LOL! But loved the embroidered sharks on the seats ha ha ha! Just what you want to think of when in the ocean....LOL!!!!! Thanks again for another great vid on the more obscure cars of days long gone by.
@tim8767
Some surprises in this one. Thanks
@AledPritchard
Mate, what a cool video. It dawned on me that these special editions must cost manufacturers so much money to deviate from mainline production to add ‘enhancements’. Maybe that’s why we see so few now, it’s not as common, definitely not in the UK / Europe. I love Ford’s so thanks again! Great videos, great channel. Hope your studies are going okay, best wishes
@JackSpeed
I'm a ford enthusiast and I didn't know about a good few of these. your efforts earned you another subscriber!
@austinpeterson4898
I saw a call of duty MW3 Jeep today. Apparently there was only 200 made. Tripped me out. Figured it was fake at first but then my next thought was who the hell would fake that.
@spooley
Larry Bird fitting into a Ranger would be a stretch to say the least. Love these oddball packages, keep them coming . Do a search for the Dodge Magnum FORCE edition. Nothing to do with John Force but rather a tacky dealer add-on package. A decent looking rear spoiler kit and some bad MAGNUM FORCE stickers for the sides and back IIRC. It's been on YouTube for about a month I'm guessing, only a few are known to exist and they're rough.
@Helpline5815
Ford had the Eddie Bauer edition for just about every vehicle in their lineup, not just the Taurus.
@JimPakeman
I own the Ford in the thumbnail! 1993 XLT extra cab in the same paint black and grey with those wheels. It was my dad’s and mine for the last 25 years! Love it
@nickwilczynski3684
Great video. Thank you for doing this. Also, thank you for narrating it yourself and not going the AI route.
