I am restoring a 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint. I bought a used one just after graduating from Jackson, and it was my favorite car. I drove a white 1956 Ford while at Jackson and used to park it just North of the physical ed field along the fence. I painted a little football player statue with a "bobble" head to look like a Jackson player and put it on the rear window deck. I painted the number "11" because it was easier to paint than any other number. It happened to be Pat Conway's number. I remember students used to stop behind my car and get a kick out of it. Anyway, maybe someone will remember it and enjoy. I also had a "Miami Jackson Generals" logo football shaped sticker on each side of the rear window. These stickers were provided by First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami. They attached to the inside of a window and had the 1962 Jackson football schedule printed on the back. I had an old one in my '63 year book and had several reproduced at a local printing shop. They came out great!. I intend to put one or more of them on my Sprint along with the green and gold yarn dolls hanging from the rear view mirror.
