Ford Trademarks Maverick Nameplate


Recommended Posts

This has been noticed for awhile now but it stands to reason the Mini Bronco is the Maverick and Timberline might be a "Rugged" trim level like Jeep's Trailhawk. Imagine a Timberline Bronco, Edge, Explorer, Expedition, Escape, EcoSport, Maverick, etc... Ford has very specifically said it wants to launch rugged utilities and I'm sure Jeep is a major influencer there.

 

Maverick has been used recently for small utilities globally.

Maverick...Mustang, Escort, Probe, Explorer, Ranger, Cougar..don't know about ya'll, but the sexual innuendo's just flow with all these names...

 

 

I can possibly see the innuendo in all of those names....except Maverick. I am not inviting clarification however...

Just like Hostess products like Ding Dong, Twinkie, Ho-Ho and by far the most disgusting....Snoball.

You missed the Grabber edition of the Maverick. Imagine using that name in 2018.

They have had Grabber Blue.

 

My grandma had an awesome yellow Maverick.

 

Most people will have no memory of the Maverick.

 

My best friend's family bought a brand-new 1970 Maverick coupe. It was not a bad car. They kept it for eight years.

 

His older brother later bought a used 1971 Mercury GT coupe (the Comet equivalent of the Maverick Grabber). Again, it wasn't a bad car.

 

The coupes were good-looking cars for that time. As bzcat noted, the big bumpers added for 1974 ruined the styling.

I had a Maverick 2 dr. I loved it. Had the 250 cid straight six and it could burn rubber.

 

I hope the new Maverick has the 250 six option :doh:

 

 

Ha, mine had that same engine! Loved it. Don't know about it burning rubber, but it definitely...burned something! :headspin:

Smokin'

 

The guy who owned it before I did raced a Trans Am from a red light and the Mav won!

Old Maverick based on the Falcon platform, same as the first Mustang, so lots of after market parts interchange.

 

And can easily change the 74-77 bumpers to older style.

 

My first car was a 1968 Mustang.

 

Wish I still had it. Oh the pain and misery...
