The Blue Oval’s LTD was for most of its life the pinnacle of Ford sedans in North America, but the times they were A-changin’ (as Bob Dylan so directly explains). That is why the LTD basically shed lots of weight and inches to become a downsized mid-size car once again with the arrival of the fourth iteration.

This example has been captured running for quarter-mile glory by the expert eye of the
Drag Racing and Car Stuff YouTube channel, and the sedan has the usual sleeper vibes (as in looking the part for a car approaching its forties) save for a few exceptions.

As such, here’s a trio of interesting encounters that coincidentally took place during the same event, Bristol Dragway’s recent “
Street Car Takeover.” 12 photos
The drag strip bonanza took place over the past weekend (April 30th - May 1st) in Bristol, Tennessee, where the Bristol Dragway quarter mile aficionados became witness to a few odd occurrences. Courtesy of the latest video (embedded below) from the

Although many people question the sanity of building a five thousand(ish) drag racer that actually has the aerodynamic qualities of a concrete block, no one will deny that some mods are taking these high-riding machines to new ET lows. Besides, it’s not the first time we see a Jeep running for timeless quarter-mile glory with spectacular results. 20 photos
Jeep s third generation Grand Cherokee (WK) occupied the latter half of the 21st century s wonderous initial decade, and although it was kind of short-lived (model years 2005-2010), it made a lasting impression for both all the right and wrong reasons.
