a car wash never hurt anyone….or maybe it did. Never knew a dust patina was so desirable!

Great car, great patina, but I think that trying to preserve the “vintage dirt” borders on the obsessive/compulsive, don’t you?

Comment on Ford Fiesta the Elder by Patrick

hey shawn i’ve been looking for one for a while. Are you still interested in selling? I had a 1979 fiesta as a first car in 1994 and fell in love with them. As a dumb 16 yr old kid I ran it into the ground and sold it for scrap. I have not seen one in years but always have my eyes open for one. I live in Tx but am very serious about buying one. I’ve never been to this site before and don’t know much about it. The car featured above is an awesome looking fiesta. Would love to be driving one like that (again)!

Truly an amazing car. I sincerely hope it stays EXACTLY as it is in these photos.

“But officer, I SWEAR it just accelerated all by itself!!”

“Calm down Mr Bumbeck. I’m not worried about your speed. You have a taillight out.”

Oddly enough, I had my accelerator stick on my 78 Corolla years (and years) ago on the freeway. It caused me to accelerate slightly and approach speeds of 60 mph! Kidding aside, I turned off the ignition and coasted to the side of the road. I started it back up and it mysteriously fixed itself. That car went over 250k miles on the original engine and was absolutely amazingly reliable.

It’s a nice look, but check local requirements for headlights first. I had to switch the French headlights in my KV

from yellow to white to keep the State of Washington happy. In that case it was the bulb, not the exterior lens, that was yellow. Fortunately the same obscure size and wattage (except in white) was used on certain Belgian scooters. This guy bought out the stock of a retired Belgian bulb dealer and has all sorts of spares:

I had no luck sourcing them elsewhere worldwide.

If any of you wrenchboys like these sort of car events (goofy cars with goofy drivers acting goofy) ask Paul Secord (red Citreon) about “The Drive” this April.
