Gary Hults of New Milford didn’t intend to own his 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport for 47 years.
“It’s one of those things I’ve often heard people say, ‘Oh, I wished I had my first car, second car I ever owned’ and when I bought it, I didn’t do that with the intention of doing that but it’s just something that happened,” he said last weekend.
It has served him well over the years, too.
The Torino wasn’t new when he purchased it on May 5, 1974.
“The car was owned by a Ford factory representative. If you look on the sticker, it’s made out to White Plains Marketing Group,” Hults said.

SAN NICOLAS DE BARI, Cuba: Disguised as a sparrowhawk, and convincingly mimicking its predatory cry, a drone made of wood, scrap metal and plastic disperses birds at a Cuban airfield.
From afar one could be fooled: soaring and swooping with its 1.3-meter (4.3-foot) wingspan, the mechanical bird flies autonomously for an hour at a time, and boasts impressive, if somewhat stiff plumage.

SAN NICOLAS DE BARI, CUBA (AFP) – Disguised as a sparrowhawk, and convincingly mimicking its predatory cry, a drone made of wood, scrap metal and plastic disperses birds at a Cuban airfield.
From afar one could be fooled: soaring and swooping with its 1.3-metre wingspan, the mechanical bird flies autonomously for an hour at a time, and boasts impressive, if somewhat stiff plumage. It is the creation of a group of engineers keen to develop cheap, local alternatives to foreign-made technology on the island under United States (US) sanctions since 1962.
Eighty per cent of the mechanical bird is fashioned by hand – mainly in makeshift workshops set up at the homes of individual engineers, who largely have to make do with the most basic equipment and parts.
