The reasoning is that the driver would find out that there was massive traffic ahead, realize they would have to spend that stopped time in a '91 escort and then proceed to kill themselves. I think it worked. Hahahaha. But seriously, as Frank Dresser said, car radios aren't expensive at junkyards. They also show up frequently at yard sales and thrift stores. What you need to know is which model radios interchange with the one currently in your car. The parts counter at your friendly local Ford dealer may have this information. Junkyards keep track of which parts interchange to which cars by means of the Hollander Manual. It will tell you, for example, that the same rear window that is on a 1977 Oldsmobile will replace a broken one on a 1973 Chevrolet. The nomenclature by which Ford parts are numbered is not difficult to understand. The first character denotes the decade in which the part first appeared. "A" is for the 1940s. "B" is for the 1950w. "C" is for the 1960s. "D" is for the 1970s. "E" is for the 1980s. "F" is for the 1990s. The next character tells you the year in which the part was first used. "C7" would indicate that a part first appeared in 1967. The third character tells you the series of cars in which the part was used. "A" is for full size. Thus a "C7A" part would have been used in a full-size 1967 Ford. at least, that's the way parts used to be numbered. It's been nearly a decade since I bought Ford parts, so if things have changed since then, I wouldn't know. It could be the case that the same model radio used in a 1985 Escort would fit a 1191 Escort. Or, it could be the case that the radio from a 1997 could be retrofitted into a 1991. I don't follow Escorts, so I don't know. Again, the parts counter could tell you that. I always listened to the guys (OK, persons) at the parts counter. They can be miracle workers. Best wishes. |
