The Red Car

Back in 1994 my grandparents baught a 1993 Escort LX 2 dr hacth that was Cardnal Red with Red interior. Sevral miles and years later it was givin to me as my first car. All I have to say is it maybe 18 years old but she’ll still start right up and go almost like it was a year old. I’ve had it from high school through college and still have it today, altough it’s used as a show car now it never let go of it reliablity. Currently it has 140k on it, has had 2 auto transmissions, 1 accident(not major) and lots of memories. The only things I’ve added to kinda personalize my car is I added a factory looking spoiler, fog/driving lights, chrome trim around the turn signals and tail lights for exterior. Under the hood is still pretty much factory asside from the valve cover of the lil 1.9 SEFI has been painted. Inside I added a cd player, seat covers, shift knob and I replaced teh front door speakers. There’s not many around quite like mine, fact I belive mine is in the best condition for its age and I thank my grandparents for taking care of it and Ford for making a real solid veichle!

I would like to see this on Lincoln, but the idea is to have time sequenced lights when the car starts up. For instance picture and all black Lincoln parked, the owner unlocks the doors but instead of the head lights coming on the Lincoln symbol in the grill lights up with bright LEDs and stays lit. Once the car starts the LEDs for the symbol seemingly file out towards the headlights move around the perimeter of the lights to the main headlight which flashes on with full brightness as the driver pulls off. In the rear of the car the Lincoln wouldn't have lights like all the other cars, there would be seemingly no lights there just the trunk area. Then when the car comes on a bright reflected glow would come from the seams of the car where the rear lights normally are. The glow would be hidden red LEDs that gives a whole new perspective on what rear lights can look like. When off the car looks like it has no rear lights at all just a smooth stylish finish, but when the time comes the Lincoln would really shine!
