 Brake stands don't count, even Fords can do that. Anyway I am sure it is a pleasure to drive, it wasn't built as a dragracer but nice to have the power there. It is a fine example of that era of Parisienne. I'd drive it.

You just don't find cars like that anymore. There was a time when they were cheap and treated like heavy duty beaters, ultimately ruling at the smashup derby before getting the engine & transmission yanked. It is nice to see one survive intact, especially with 455 power. The colour is nice as well. A set of repro dual-stripe whitewalls would look great on that car. I wonder, can anyone see if the car has Power Beam or T-3 headlights on it?

What were the louvers on the trunklid for?

 Astro Ventilation. They made a running change in 1971 where they reduced the number of louvers, but they were deemed redundant alltogether for 1972 and were eliminated. The vent in the doorjamb was deemed sufficient.

Flow through ventilation, 1971 only I believe, kinda looks cool imo.

I doubt that beast could even chirp the tires. Might do 115 mph tops. 0-60 maybe 11 seconds on a cool damp day.
