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.

I heard one young girl say to her friends "I wonder how that old man got that big old thing in that parking spot?"

If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
