OK, final edit here. According to the pictures on Google, it was a type 4.
On another note, how about a garage find...

Thanks Shifty!

Some friends of my parents were about to buy a new VW Beetle in 1965 or 1966 and they just happened to stop and look at a PV 544. I think they said it was about 200.00 more so they bought it instead.
They did SO much better!
They were so much better cars than Beetles in every way. That B 18 engine was wonderful!
Don't see very many at all running around. Last year was 1966.
I didn't know about the B20 head but I do seem to remember the soft camshafts.
My brother had a 122 way back when and I really liked it. Felt like you were riding in a tank.

The Amazon wagon was a light beige color, and looked good at a quick glance, but I seem to remember it having some rust in the door jamb/rocker panel area

Idle for 6 weeks, I think. Started on the first turn, but stalled after a few seconds. Second turn and there on, it ran fine. There an intermittent rattle from around the radio area, this seems new - I'll have to get under there the next time I drive it. Local road conditions which are a symptom of the lowest bidder mentality and probably the firm desire of some to differentiate the US from Europe were making it obvious.
The horn works fine, too, don't ask how I know.
It actually isn't that slow. Even at its age, I am certain it can pull off 0-60 in around 12 seconds without destroying itself. Just gotta keep it revved up.
Anyway, it was late one Saturday night, and I was on my way home from my part time job at Denny's. My friend happened to pull up next to me at a traffic light, and we were both the lead cars in our respective lanes. We started ribbing each other, revving our engines, and when the light turned green we stomped on it. As I recall, the Escort was a bit quicker up to around 45-50, but then I started to catch up. When we hit 60, my friend gave up and backed off.
I saw him at college a couple days later, and he was calling me crazy for going so fast. Sad to say, I think that Escort was one of the quickest cars he had driven, up to that point in his life. His family never bought anything all that fast. They had traded in an '83 Stanza on the Escort, and it was a POS by that time...everything that Japanese cars of that era get praised for, this one was just the opposite. They also had a '72 Dart sedan with a 225 slant six that got scary if you took it over 50 mph or so, a mid 80's K-car wagon, and a first-gen Caravan/Voyager.
Not exactly the good old days, even if I do wax nostalgic on them every once in awhile.

just watched the latest episode of chasing classic cars off the DVR today. Wayne bought a 1978 Nissan 280Z with 2,200 miles on it. Bought new, guy drove it during the summer, put it away for the winter in the garage, and never took it back out. Even had the original wheels/tires with it (that had been taken off when new for a set of wire wheels).
too bad it was a 2+2. Novelty factor I guess, but who really wants one of those? Plus, not worth hoarding, so makes no sense to pay extra for the low miles, if you plan to actually drive it! Would love to know what he paid for that (and later sold it for).

Okay, the Mercedes brakes and suspension were far better than what Detroit offered in those days so on a winding road the SB had a strong advantage.
By the way, Sb or SE?
but man, this picture brings back memories of our 144, with the handbrake on the left. I remember going out a few times after my dad or I parked it to get it released for my sister or mother.
between that, the manual steering and brakes, didn't need to go to the gym!
