No Post.
I've been ogling this '65 Galaxie on CLs. It's only $1795 obo. My driveway/garage/front lawn cannot contain anymore vehicles. 
in reply to gearheadotaku:
no post for me please
I honestly can't fathom a reason anyone would prefer a post
no post........ saw a very nice 1st gen Falcon yesterday... in a very nice metallic teal... 
That is my favorite Falcon body style. I'd take either. Granted, no post looks better but depends on availability. Post is probably more available.
No post

the sleeker aero is offset by a few hundred more pounds of mass to stiffen up the structure from the missing support in the middle of the roof..

All made irrelevant by the wind buffeting off that post making you deaf.
Hardtop looks cooler.
I like the post for function.
Frankly, I'll take what comes along. they're not making old Falcons anymore.

Surely (yes, I said it) this is an exaggeration. A few pounds maybe, but a few hundred? Seems unreasonable*

I had one each of those Falcons. Never had any problems with leaks on the hardtop but it was only 5 years old at the time. I much preferred the hardtop just for the looks.
