Grab yourself a Grabber!
Here we have arguably the best Ford Maverick edition ever made. Everything is relative, of course. We at Oddimotive remember when Mavericks were just cheap, ugly used cars. Nowadays, they have retro appeal and, for some reason, don’t really look so ugly anymore. Times change. Click for a related enthusiast site Click for Ebay ad…

Perfect? No. Cool? Hell yes!
