I have a cop friend who about 10 years ago bought a running '40 Ford sedan for $ 2500.00. He immediately had a $ 4,000.00 paint job put on the car, and we were all saying he was nuts..........like putting lipstick on a pig.

The final laugh was on us. As soon as he got it out of the paint shop he sold it for $ 12,000.00. The car was horrible every other way, but it sure LOOKED good, and that seemed to attract a buyer.
