A sad tale.

Whenever I work on my old cars, I disconnect the battery - this is easy because I have a disconnect switch on the battery post.

Once, when I had a '39 Ford for sale, I called a restorer in town to see if he wanted to buy an old car - he said no, but what brand it is - when I told him that it was a Ford, he told me that he would come and look at it.

He came over in an old Buick - there was a large fire extinguisher on the front seat.

When I asked about it he told me that a lot of old cars lose their lives by fire.

Everyone should have a battery disconnect switch.
