Patty Ramge of Detroit, posing Sept.1, 1978 with her 1975 Ford Pinto, has little trouble with motorists tailgating since she decked her car with a sign warning of its’ explosive nature if hit from the rear. Mrs. Ramge posted the warning after weeks of trying to convince Ford Motor Co., and its dealers to modify the fuel tank so it would not pose a fire hazard in a rear-end crash.
