1967 or 68 Ford Country Squire. |

The aliens in this show killed all electronics, so any computer controlled car is useless, so carburated vehicles are very prized by the human survivors/resistance. |

If they killed the electronic by the emf pulse, it also should kill the ignition coil  |

^Right; only steam cars should work. |

How about diesels? |

Only with mechanical fuel injection. |

Back in the days it was only one way to feed diesel... |

I really wouldn’t want to try and start one of those without electricity. Don’t forget it wasn’t that long ago that diesels were started up, and then left running for days on end. By the way, my Country Squire I.D. was not a stab in the dark. Only Fords and Mercurys had those vents in the D-pillar, and the wood trim on the Colony Park came up closer to the windows. -- Last edit: 2011-06-30 20:04:34 |

How about pneumatic starter, let alone hydraulic ones? |

I once read an article about surviving an EMP blast or post-apocalyptic world, what would happen, and how to deal with the aftermath. If I remember correctly, the article stated that most vehicles (case-by-case dependent) manufactured before the '70s, could be repaired and made operational with little work. Vehicles from the '70s and '80s would not be completely hopeless. Some could be repaired after a EMP, and made operational (again, case-by-case dependent), but would require more work, also replacing all engine electronic components, assuming working engine electronics specific to the vehicle being repaired were available. Even still, some non-vital features would not work, such as power windows and so on. Almost any vehicle from the '90s onward would be deemed "unsavable". The reach of integrated electronics extends far beyond the engine. I would imagine that even if you did get a vehicle running, finding a source of fuel would be difficult. Not to mention finding oil, filters, tools, tires, brakes and so on for future maintenance. -- Last edit: 2011-06-30 23:09:15 |

I would think cars that use breaker points (ie, not electronic coil) would survive an EMP fine. |

This clearly is a 1968 Ford Country Squire, not a 1967 CS. One key difference is that on the 1968 model the molding around the wood paneling was free of the artificial "bolts" that were on the 1967 model. In the photos above there are no bolts on the molding. |
