Ford Crown Victoria Though they were what most people drove in the 1950s and 1960s, full-size cars like the Ford Crown Victoria are now an anomaly. But Ford's biggest sedan still offers significant virtues, including affordable V8 performance and room for six people. Today, the Crown Victoria's passenger and cargo volumes compare favorably against fashionable SUVs.

Default 1990 country squire wood removal

Hi all.
Newbie in the UK.

Just acquired a 1990 country squire HUGE station wagon! Well, huge for us anyway.

This is my latest project that may turn into an overhaulin style transformation

I'll post a proper intro up soon, but..................need some help first.

The wood "transfers" (whats the proper name?) down the side and tailgate......they are in poor shape. Any recommendations for removing them? Heat gun? Whats the chance of getting them off leaving the paint intact?

Thanks for any reply.
Andy.
