Hi I am in springboro Pa just below erie.A long time back I lost the corner lock down plate that holds the bottom edge to the rear window.I think it was the passenger side.Some dumb ass driving the flatbed
put the car backwards.for what reason I don't know but it got lost on that deal.Louvers flew up and scratched the shit out of the roof which has been repainted since then.
Funny story you may want to hear.I was at a strip club with my friend one night.This guy walks in asd asked if anyone has a small silver car because some truck just backed into it..well I went running out there and a short guy in a pink shirt and green shorts was trying to leave a note..he was plastered! Anyway he didn't want me to turn in the damage(small dent in QTR Panel) to his insurance..I said ok but would have to get a estimate..well my friend at the Ford Garage told me $200.00 so I went back to him and said $550.00 because they can't match the paint and it needs totally repainted to match..he said ..OK...I ended up getting the paint job which is on it now done for free! ( this was in the 80's)When I went to pick up the car my buddy said "I didn't know that guy was a cop" I said "me neither" and almost fell over..find out a few years later he was fired bacause of misuse of the badge and suspect of bribe taking..I guess he didn't want anyone to find out he was at a titty bar either!
