1973

For 1973 the Maverick was improved yet again. The brake lining area was
increased by 35%, the 170 cid I6 was dropped and the 200 cid I6 was made
standard, and the LDO grill was made standard. Additions to the option
list where a AM/FM stereo, the "halo" vinyl roof for two doors, and forged
aluminum wheels. Also added was the federal front bumper.

Comet under went the same changes as Maverick, along with adding LDO
trim at extra cost.
