My 1964 1/2, 6 cylinder, 3 speed in the floor was a treat to drive.  If I could find another in turquoise, I would buy it.  Only problem, when it rained, the sunken floor in the back seat filled with rainwater.  The dealer corrected it after a letter to Ford in Detroit!

Third was a used 65, 6 with a three speed.  Ran hot the entire time I had it.  I loved them all.  A fun car with outstanding styling.
