cool story n all ...as much as i like wagons, im no fan of the 60-64 ford wagons, something about the lines fighting eachother

there was a sweet 65 out at the local wrecker for sale dirt cheep LOADED that no one wanted and went out to the yard and still nothing sold off it but trinkets

Well, it's not very exciting mechanically, but at least it's nothing to look at. That grille would gag a maggot.
