Not sure many people remember this little gem from the 80's, but it was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid. Kind of like Airwolf or Night Rider... but the hero vehicle was a totally awesome motorcycle. I hope you enjoy this little piece of nostalgia I cobbled together as I wrap up the Granada video.
Thanks for watching and for the amazing support. I truly appreciate it.

Many have asked if I could feature actual car specimens in my videos and I am happy to announce that will be happening soon. The cross country journey to adopt a '91 Mercury Grand Marquis for my parents will feature as the first episode. This will post after the upcoming Chrysler Cordoba Car Tale.
Thanks everyone for your support.

This is a re-creation of a long lost original Tofer's Car Tales video featuring the development of the Taurus and Sable. I kept the editing to a minimum as I originally used some weird online flash video editor that exported in an almost unusable potato quality. Oh and this time I added my goofy mug caught in the act of thinking... hmmm does this music work for the end? Yeah sure why not. Many have asked what I look like. Well now you know, for better or worse. Though I suppose I could have shaved. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is the story of the Ford Thunderbird's transition that took place from 1977 to 1988. This time period which is often referred to as malaise represents the most radical transformation of the legendary Thunderbird.
My sincere apologies for the areas of the voiceover where it is clear I was struggling to speak. Fortunately I am well on my way to recovery and the next voiceover should be much easier and pleasant to listen to.
Thanks as always for your amazing support! Stay safe my friends.

Visited the parents for Father's Day and thought I'd share a quick video of the '77 Lincoln Versailles next to Dad's '91 Grand Marquis. I always assumed the Versailles was only downsized by modern standards, but it actually is a very compact car when compared to the 80's Panther platform. Apologies for the jerky camera work, I'm learning how to operate some new equipment for upcoming videos.

As my latest video nears completion... I ponder my first video featuring the OG Taurus which was very experimental. This is the video where I learned the ins and outs of video editing and discovered (sometimes harshly) what the people wanted. At the end, I featured a series of 80's visuals. Not much feedback was provided on this effort, so I thought I'd post this clip to see if YOU the people think more of these collages would be appreciated at the end of future Car Tale videos.

This is not really a "Car Tale" but more of a quick take of the original Taurus SHO I thought I would share as I work on new Car Tales episodes for you all. I hope you enjoy. Day job considerations have slowed things down for the channel but I assure you that much more content is on the way! Your continued support means the world to me.
