1969 Ford Maverick 2-Dr. Sedan

Introduced in April 1969 as an early 1970 model, the simple, low-priced Maverick was Ford's fresh answer to the VW Beetle and a rising tide of imports.
Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in 1979. VIN model code 91 was used by both 1969 and 1979 Fords and the VIN does not distinguish them; showing the 1969 interpretation. If this is a 1979 vehicle, verify against the title or body/warranty plate.
