In the pilot, there is a flashback of Francis where he is apologizing and after it, Malcolm said the car that exploded wasn't theirs. Now not that this is that important, but I am sure I noticed that the car that exploded is the same car that the family drives. I has the same ugly paint job and the same shape. Correct me if I'm wrong...
Not their car?

And last time I checked cars were mass produced. There's more than one ugly old car in the world.
Yes but if Francis was to steal a car, he would have gotten a better one most likely. There is no mention that it was stolen, but the chances of it being the same model are a little too coincidental...

The car that he destroyed was an old fashioned station wagon. It is the same color as thier van, if that is what you thought it was.

That's what Malcolm says in the Pilot, but regardless of whose car it was, he still damaged it, and his parents are the ones that have to pay for it.
But it's just so fun to quote Malcolm. Sorry, I had to... Anyway, we have gotten off topic.

I don't see which Wilkerson's car looks like this one. The only station wagon I remember they had is the blue ford taurus (often parked in the alley of the house in the later seasons). Or the blue chrysler 7 seater van with wood decorations on the side, the one they use at the end of Krelboyne Picnic:
Besides these two, I only think about sedans, like the yellow one Lois destroys fighting against a woman at the supermarket, or the blue Dodge Hal crashed to kill a bee in season 7.
All of them may be "ugly old", but I don't think one of these is the one Francis burnt !

I think that one in the picture is quite possibly the one i am thinking about. If you think about it, they look quite similar but the only difference i notice is that the front of the one on fire has a longer front.
The van is the only vehicle they have all seven seasons. Thanks for the pic; I didn't remember exactly what Francis blew up, but it was a station wagon; not a van. So it was in fact different. Cars of that time just happened to have the wood paneling a lot; it ages MITM a bit.

the one on fire is a station wagon, the one that been used all throughout the series is a van. Both have same paint and design, but it is obvious one is a station wagon and one is a van. vans are much taller, and actually have 3 rows, station wagons just have the 2 rows, and just a long backspace. Two different cars :blink:
and you can see, the van (bottom image) has more blue at the top and bottom of the wood design, the station wagon (top image) does not have that much visible blue, and is mostly the wood design.

I think it's Lois' Car, because, and I quote from wikipedia:
Lois exiled him to a military academy after he was caught in bed with his girlfriend, and crashed Lois' car (which proceeded to burn up)
The burning station wagon is Lois' because on wikipedia they say so

Actually, Wikipedia says:
So it wasn't their car!
