Red

  1. I have never cared for a red interior. When I first got married I had a motorcycle that I had rode as my only transportation for 3 years. I also lived in Tampa FL. I moved back to GA and the fist cold snap convinced me to buy a 13 year old Caprice Classic from an older man that had just gotten a new one. It was pristine with only 65k miles and cheap. It was white with a red interior. That red interior got old very quick

    1. I was stationed at Warner Robins in the 70s. It snowed about 3 inches one year, they shut down the whole state of Georgia. Driving in snow is an acquired skill.

    2. A 1/2 inch'll do it below the snow belt.

    3. I lived in Ft Myers, FL and wore shorts all the time and had a white 79 Monza GT with a red vinyl interior. Still have burn marks on the backs of my legs from them seats. It was a 4 speed and shifter got too hot to touch.

  3. Red paint on a latter 60's Ford was pretty much gone by ten years. Although, not quite as bad a paint job as their gray/blue paint was. That stuff started peeling about 5 years old. My '65 fastback 'Stang had that horrible grey/blue, and my '66 Ranchero had the red.

    1. I had a 2009 Honda Civic painted black, Clearcoat started peeling and paint was chalking after about 5 1/2 years. There were many more of them driving around, they looked like they had cancer.

  4. I can still remember climbing into those early Mustangs. Your butt was down on the ground. The six cylinder engines were probably enough fun but the 289s were just stupid quick.
