That Mercury Mountaineer is back up for sale. I do hope it find's a good home it's a cool rig that.

Definitely needs saving and not just a back axle donor.

Also wasn't it the Firestone tyres that exploded that gave the Explorer a bad rep?

Yes, it was Firestone tyres failing and some of them had an issue with sudden unintended acceleration where the throttle got stuck wide open resulting in quite a few accidents

ISTR a documentary about it showing some 'secret' Ford footage of a guy trying to stop an Exploder with stuck throttle. 

The Firestone issue was caused* by union staff striking but the factory in question employed temporary unskilled staff to produce the tyres and they didn't follow process hence tread separated from carcass.

😲 RHD pre war Kadett! Renamed to Cadet to, I guess, make it seem a bit less German?

Grandad first car was one of these and was RHD too. Not sure how long he had it but had it for a while and was bought at the end of the 1950s and in the summer was fully loaded with people and luggage and driven 550km up to where grandmother came from over the Norwegian mountains. On hot summer days it boiled over on long mountain hills often but it always got them there and back.
