LOL, no but it used to be a gorgeous white with wood trim....Crown Vic Squire Wagon, 88 model. It belonged to the wife of a man that owned a Ford dealership. She got a new car each year. When the 89's came out the man across the street from the dealers house bought the wagon. I bought it about 4 years ago from him when he quit driving. I asked him why on earth he had it painted bright red, his answer was pretty simple. He said people kept pulling out in front of him and he was in a lot of near miss accidents so he decided they just were unable to see it because of the dark wood trim on the sides so he took it to the same Ford dealer and had them paint it bright red. He claimed no one ever pulled in front of him again. He died not long after that sadly. Funny thing, when I was cleaning out the stuff he left in it, I pulled out the ashtray expecting to find cig butts. Nope, clean as brand new but there was a small bottle of nitro glycerin in the ashtray so I reckon he had some heart issues. Possibly could be why people were having trouble seeing the car prior to the paint job! Fun car to drive, just floats. Gets good mileage too as it's the little 302. I go to the store for groceries and open the back door sideways since it's a 2 way tailgate and the young people just stop and stare in amazement. I heard one young girl say to her friends "I wonder how that old man got that big old thing in that parking spot?"

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
