The HCS did not originally have a GT as part of the badge. PO must have wanted it to be like a GTCS.
Cool old photos.

The HCS badge was posted further back then it was from the factory/dealer also. I guess to fit the gt letters.

Curious.

Do you know where the middle picture was taken? Was it a car show of some type or other event?

Curious why it seems the Ford Fairmont or maybe it's the Mercury variant that's behind it is up on ramps or a display of some type.

It was at an event I stumbled upon on vacation. Both late 1968's as indicated by side markers.

The red one has a Nebraska plates and the white one has Wyoming plates.
I wonder where they are now.

The red Nebraska car has a driver side rear quarter panel installed radio antenna. Might help identify it. Picture looks like a 1983 LTD to the side.

That would be about right as for timing. I have been playing with these things for a long time. I noticed a graduation tassel in the white one as well. and a 5 pony personalized plate on the white one.

Where were the pictures taken?

Where were the pictures taken?

We were headed to Lincoln Nebraska on I80 and think this was in Cheyanne Wyoming. We were not intending to go to a show just happened to be there when it happened. I have been going to shows since the early 1980's, so have many albums and photos, mostly of just odd things we saw. Like the GT on the white car, there was no "authority source", back then. I have photos of one of the 1966 Shelby convertibles sitting in Martinez California from before Shelby did his recreations and all the clones started. Went to Hearst Castle and there was a 427 cobra in the parking lot, I thought it was a replica even then until I saw a dent in the passenger fender. These cars were just used cars back then and with no camera phone, it had to be special to warrant a photo.
