American Photo Gallery
How many Ford Corsairs are there in North America? According to the North
American English Ford Registry there are five. This seems like a pretty healthy
number for a type of car that was never sold here and has been out of production
for over 30 years. It just happens that I have photos of all five, so I thought
I'd put them together in a neat little census.
Interestingly enough , of the five cars, three of the are North American spec
(unique combination of LHD, MPH speedometer and red rear turn signal lenses),
which is pretty good considering that you couldn't buy one from your friendly
local English Ford Line dealer. Instead these cars had to be specially ordered
and picked up at Dagenham (or other European cities).
1964 1500 Deluxe 2dr (LHD)
1964 2 dr (LHD) owned by Doug Milota, Eureka, CA. This car is an extremely rare model, one source says that only 24 LHD 1500 2 drs were built. The car is red and Doug saved this one from becoming scrap iron near San Francisco. The car is also missing essential features like an engine. Doug has a long way to go. 1964 2 dr (LHD) owned by Doug Milota, Eureka, CA. This car is an extremely rare model, one source says that only 24 LHD 1500 2 drs were built.

The classic insult really came true for Doug Milota when he found this white LHD 1965 Deluxe abandoned along the 1-5 near Roseburg, OR. The car also had Bob Parkers card in the glove box. Doug has since gotten this car running, but now lack of space has put it on the market.
Doug always was threatening to paint the car yellow and put a green dingy on the roof.
