[FESTIVAL78]

Matt..Original owner of my festival car has story of rear axle replacement after dealer torched off iron bar stock that was welded to the axle tubes..Dealer claimed the car was used in the parade and sat embarrassingly low with a trailer on the back in the parade. They welded the iron in as bumpstops and subsequently damaged the rear axle taking them off. I'd love to see a picture of the bottom of that broadcast copy with "pace car option" on it..please. Mine has white paint on trim tag 04A car. In the 80's we had a ton of mercury cougars around here that had emblems that said Bostonian Edition on them..maybe along the same lines with the dealers getting together for a mass puchase with special stuff?..The springs in my pacer are original and seemingly normal.
