Taurus/Sable to say goodbye this year after almost 20 years

This Taurus sits in the Henry Ford Museum, an example of forward thinking cars that changed the industry. And while now people may not remember, the Taurus did that in a big way. The Aero styling was a breakthrough for a US model and while GM was selling front wheel drive mid-size cars like the Celebrity, the Taurus was a milestone car. I remember driving one in 1987 and being very impressedwith the quality and performance. Now you may smirk when I say performance, but at the time GM and Chrysler had nothing comporable and to tell the truth the 3.0 V-6 was very good.
