It is not a good comparison. What those photo's do not show is that Mercury is a 1965 Comet which was at that time, labeled a "Compact Car" and is a bit smaller than the Plymouth which looks to be a 1966 Fury that at the time was labeled an "Intermediate Car" so the The correct comparison should be one of a Valiant to a Comet.

He's just comparing the styling not the size or market. To boot, the
Cyclone was a large "compact" like the Dodge Dart of the same era, bigger than the Falcon on which it was based, and the Mopars were roundly criticized in their day for being smaller than their full size contemporaries from GM and Ford. There may not have been a great deal of difference in size. By the way, the Fury was classified as full sized, not intermediate. The Satellite was the intermediate sized Mopar, which is what this example appears to be. As such, it might be quite close to the Cyclone in size. -- Skip Middleton www.shadowcatcherimagery.com www.pbase.com/skipm "Fred C.

The purpose is to show that spies in every company seem to sneak out proto or design info to competitors. Some are too obvious to just be a chance in a million coincidence. I imagine money paid has a lot to do in these cases too. If they were on the road then any photographer can take the photo. I've done it myself were known, but disguised vehicles travel. Never had any publish or made any money on them. Doby |
