Let's see your Front!

[Grand Marquis GT]

I think I asked a foolish question.


Trust me, I know your feelings about vinyl tops. Of course I know it'll have a coach roof. Silly me.

And then, you gave a foolish response. Vinyl doesn't belong on the outside of a car unless it's a convertable.

Here's some of the lady. The first three are from May 05, the others are from this summer. I need to get some better current head on shots though.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

there's a great 86 Merk...Tudors frickin' rawk!

[87_crown_vic]

best shot i could get of the 3 CVs we have at home. here is a shot of the Grand Marquis i am bringing back to life also.

figured i should get Deuce a pic on here also since he is camera shy.

Thanks a lot , she still needs her stripping back though. I dunno if I trust the guy who painted her to do it, I'll probably have a go at it myself since I'm so picky.

I think you did really well on your recent buy. Can't wait to see when you get it cleaned up.

Here are mine incase I change my signature, black and white, and colour.....you decide which looks better.

[86GmLsCoupe]

I'm gonna say the color, I love the way the blue in the sky reflects of the paint. Black & white photos are classic, but in this case I think you'd loose the pop and vivid contrast.

I didn't realize your hatred of vinyl tops was that deep rooted. I'm not fond of them myself. Thats why both my CVs have been slick tops. All my parts cars have been slicktops too, come to think of it.

I've never thought to ask, do you get a lot of grief for driving what might look at a glance like marked police cars?



And Dereck, you seriously need to ditch that turdmobile and get a real car.


ps. like front shots, see my sig pic. Or click here and browse back and forth a little.

The two cars "markings" I.E. decals, all come off, as they are attached to magnetics... And the lightbars are also temporay on the 91, Which comes off after unplugging it, and removing one bolt on one side, then just unhook the other side, put a towel under the mounting pad, and slide it off the roof.... Takes about 30 seconds...

I did it in less time tonight at the show and shine... It started to rain, And I didn't want to have to remove it in a heavy down pour... I took all of the decals off, and the lightbar.. in less than two minutes.
The 84 is mounted permenently... But I can remove the red and blue domes and put clear domes on it... in a matter of minutes... And again, the decals all come off...

The only time these cars are marked is when they are at a carshow, or a photo op...

The ONLY time I was ever hassled was by a rookie Sheriff's Officer.. And he got to know me REAL well, after his LT. got a hold of him... (He is also a Police car collector... Not good to piss of the LT. about his hobby!)
