Some of those are newer cars and don't pertain to this particular timeline, there's another for 1980-present vehicles. The My and Meta One were never produced, so they don't belong here. Generally we don't include separately-named wagon variants unless they're a long-running model (Country Squire, Colony Park, etc). The Grand Monarch Ghia is still a Monarch, and the Cyclone was a package on the Comet and Montego. --Sable232 (talk) 15:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I disagree about the Cyclone - you're right in that it started out as a Comet package, but it did become a separate model for a few years (1968-1970, I believe) before merging back into the Montego line (in a similar way to Pontiac's GTO moving from Tempest package to separate line to LeMans package). The Turnpike Cruiser, on the other hand, was only a separate model line for one year (and a trim option for one year after that), so giving it a whole entry is debatable at best.
