Ford Cortina Mk. IV , Trinidad

This car ain't so old, but it's rare because these things were rustbuckets. They were assembled locally without the beneift of rustproofing. My dad bought one new when I was a little kid of about 2 and when I turn 4, it had completely rusted out. Its unibody construction and lack of spares drove him to sell it for peanuts and buy a much better UK-assembled Cortina Mk.V Ghia edition which he kept for more than a decade without trouble.
