Patty Ramge of Detroit, posing Sept.1, 1978 with her 1975 Ford Pinto, has little trouble with motorists tailgating since she decked her car with a sign warning of its’ explosive nature if hit from the rear. Mrs. Ramge posted the warning after weeks of trying to convince Ford Motor Co., and its dealers to modify the fuel tank so it would not pose a fire hazard in a rear-end crash.
When I was a kid in the 70s, someone who lived near my home took a big FLAMMABLE diamond sticker, the kind you put on a semi trailer, on the back of her Pinto. You could spot her car a mile away!
ReplyDeleteThat was a good idea.
