They started making the Maverick in 1969 when my father worked at the Ford plant. I was 10 years old and they had the kids Christmas party at the plant so we got a tour and each was given a model of a Maverick. Mine was the orange just like that picture. Wasn't a Grabber though. Both my sisters got gold ones. I still have them packed away someplace.
I owned a base 4 door for a bit and drove a Grabber a few times. believe me they were not the same car no matter what the badges said!

Maybe they should call it the Shetland and put it in the Mustang lineup.
