Connecticut, the Constitution State. Just the opposite of Kommiefornia.

I remember reading about that YEARS ago.
Little trivia--on the oem hood liner , in "BUICK", the "C" is actually upside down. That's how you can tell an original hood liner when you see one. I'm sure @swathdiver can confirm that.

I knew more than most but didn't know that! LOL Now I want to dig out my albums, if I only knew where!

So since I’m going to be installing the volume buttons on the steering wheel for the radio I’m going to replace the steering wheel with a cleaner one since mine is worn from its prior life. I picked up a leather steering wheel it’s the one on the right in this pic.

Did a quick mod the other day it was something I pulled off the 05 and never installed. So back when the Vics were in service criminals would smash out the reverse lights and pull the trunk release well to avert that problem Ford made these metal plates that were commonly installed there to prevent these smash and grabs, I don’t keep much back there but it’s good to have incase.
