Keystone is only a drone ride away from Frank Dore & Sons, the Whittier dealership where Kirkpatrick bought this big-block bit of history those five decades ago. Gary is also no stranger to Fords after a long career of employment at Keystone Ford in Norwalk, California. "It was my first new car," comments Kirkpatrick, "and it was just what I wanted, so I kept it." He bought his Sauterne Gold 1966 Fairlane GTA 2-door hardtop brand new, and more than 50 years later, his name is still on the title. West Covina, California's Gary Kirkpatrick was smart, however. Sometimes we knew we'd miss it the instant it was gone in other cases this regret was only realized years later.
We've all said it: "I really should have kept that car." Whether it was our first one, our last one, or just a fast one, every enthusiast can name at least one prize from their past that they should have hung on to (this statement is usually uttered in concert with a list of the cars they should have bought, but that's a whole 'nuther story).
