1960 Article Featuring the Maverick Wagon

It is always funning to hear the f-head described as a high performance power plant. The article was featured in the November 30, 1960, issue of Lakeland Ledger.

What exactly are Captive-Air Safety tires?

I've never heard the term. Here's an ad for them: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1928&dat=19570506&id=VCEgAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NmgFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4059,1183386&hl=en

Interesting, sounds like some sort of 2 chamber tire.

Maybe it means it has a tube?

The Captive Air tires are the reason Mavericks didn't come with a factory spare tire. Bill

The term makes more sense now. I didn't realize they didn't have a spare. However, when I think "Captive Air" my mind immediately goes to hostages held captive on an airplane.
