i cant add much to what has been said ,,. and i can not disagree that you will never get the money invested
back out ,but there are exceptions , Why not have a dream Car ,,. Why be stuk in these stupid egg shaped
appliances that aint worth the time to wash ,and dont even give you that nice car feel as you give it such
care..... .. My dream car i have drove over 300,000miles ,, been to texas ,kansas,ark , ok ,mo,and nearly every
state east of.the mississippi river except for the n/east 4 or 5 states , i have ownwed a triple black
Marquis convertible since 1974 ,.kept it up good until about 10 yrs ago ,.. brakeproblems andlife problems and
county goverment being a Commissioner just took too much time ,,.,,resurrected it again last yr ,.. 3
shops,nearly 3 grand , ,. and i have a good car to drive and enjoy again ,..it is far from perfect ,,. yet it
TURNS Heads Everywhere it goes,, The BATMOBILE is what my grankids call it... i have it insured with farm
bureua as ahistoric car for 5000,.and it should easily be worth that ,, in my mind i would not sell it for 10
times that , or trade it for 3 nice dream cars i always wanted to have,. namely ,a convertible 66 t-bird,69mark
3 ,a 69 cougar or montego MX convertible ,,btw . That is what i was lookin for when Dad found the Marquis for
Me , He said ," its a Mercury ,, And these big cars are selling cheap now since gas is up to 50 c ents a gallon"
. i realized the Marquis was a classic , and chekt the build numbwers of less than 2000built in the 3 yrs they
offered MARQUIS convertibles .. Yes ,so Many Memories and priceless firsts occured with the Marquis ,.Fastest
i ever drove was 120 plus , and she moved and floated like a dream, btw, I rode with My Dad in his 57 DESOTO
Firflite when he pegged the speeddometor and BrOKE It ... that is one car i would love to have too , they cost
money to keep up , and if you do not drive them everyday ,,. it is just like dribblin a basketball, once ya stop
bouncin it ,they just roll to the corner and sit .IF YOU OWN
A
C
L
ASSI

C
and WANT TO KEEP IT NICE . i always patk away from other cars at the walmart, and walk , i avoid heavy traffic
agressive driver areas ,, Do not lend it OUT EVER ! , if you do prepare to accept the consequences ...

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.
