The 1972 Ford Maverick Grabber

The Ford Maverick was a compact car manufactured by Ford , from April 1969-1977 in the United States, Canada and Mexico  and from 1973-1979 in Brazil — employing a rear wheel drive platform ,  dating to the original 1960  Falcon . Originally marketed as a 2-door sedan only at an initial price of almost two thousand dollars, the Maverick was designed to be inexpensive to manufacture and maintain. The name "Maverick" was derived from the word for unbranded range animals, and the car's nameplate  was stylized to resemble a longhorn  cow head.

This 1/64 version was produced by Johnny Lightning for Amber's 1972 March Calendar 2007, this is the 2006 casting.
