But other than cavemen, I think Lucas deserves all the credit for darkness.

I will not put Lucas anything in my vehicles. I had it ruin 2 transmissions. Never again.

I think Lucas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Industries (English car electrics) is not the same as Lucas oil products https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Oil. Two different things. Unless you put fuses in your transmission oil filling tube.

This should give you an idea what a prick Edison was.

"Tesla arrived in New York in 1884 and was hired as an engineer at Thomas Edison’s Manhattan headquarters. He worked there for a year, impressing Edison with his diligence and ingenuity. At one point Edison told Tesla he would pay $50,000 for an improved design for his DC dynamos. After months of experimentation, Tesla presented a solution and asked for the money. Edison demurred, saying, “Tesla, you don’t understand our American humor.” Tesla quit soon after."

Technically the pink one is on four wheels! The black one was my first car. June

First one I’m almost sure is a Pink Pig.

AMC Marauder? Mercury?

1964 Mercury Montclair Marauder. The pig is a BBQ grill. Lol I couldn't resist getting a few pics for this thread, and my uncle sent me the Mercury pic yesterday out of his collection of pictures. We were really close and he was a photographer for the Airforce. June

Lots of good American Iron on Long Island…on the streets, too!

(Okay, might be a beetle or two that flew in as well….)
