I'm a Member of the Long Roof Club Now!!

EXCEPT I can't wait till the first weekend of June to obtain a plate. I need one NOW so I can get the car registered and DRIVE it. Anyone else you might know that might have this dudes number??

When are you coming home?? I'm having a Pig Roast here at the house on Friday June 1st. Hope you and your lovely wife can make it.

 

We will be home April 17th or 18th. I'll look for that card and give you a PM if no one else knows him. Thanks for the invite.

 

AWESOME! Thanks sweetie!

 

Sweeet WAGON!!

 

I LOVE wagons and you would still be kool driving a Pacer........ Love the longroof!

 

Monroe Swap Meet in a couplw weeks. Always a plate guy there. Cool ride, should be a fun road tripper

 

That's because '60 and '61 were some kind of "stand pat" year in Michigan where most people just got metal tags to put on their '59 plate.

Edit: I got so hung up on plates, I forgot to mention: Cool car, Denise!

 

Local craigslist ad in case you haven't seen it...

i guess now you need a little mexican poolboy to keep that thing washed. you will love the ride the wagon has. sort of floats .

 

Thanks bud! I called the guy and left him a voicemail. Hopefully he still has it and calls me back. If not I'll certainly attend the Monroe swap meet and hopefully find one there.

You'd better be careful or your cute little Mexican is gonna wanna move north and be my wagon washer.

 

wagon washer! lol

 

He texted me back, it's sold already. Monroe swap meet April 22nd as a last resort I guess. I was kinda hoping to get a plate before that so I could drive the wagon to the swap meet. I guess I could run with a 59 plate I've got till I got the 1960. I don't think the cops would know right??

Any other license plate leads would be great appreciated.

 

I have spaces at Monroe. Plan to hang out for a spell this time. In the mean time I'll keep an eye out.

 

These any good?

The top one is the one Jocko posted, it's gone already. The second one is a '59 plate with a 60 tab, I really want a real 1960 plate. Thanks though.

Can you get a kitchen pass for the Monroe swap meet? Maybe get a group of the Single Finger guys to go to breakie then the swap meet together??

According to this site, the 1960 water wonderland is for commercial use and the '59 with the '60 tab is for car.

Here you can run a wagon or suburban with commercial plates but you pay more every year. You CAN'T run a pickup without a shell or panel truck with passenger car plates.

If you still want it:

Hey hun, just a thought here. Since YOM plates are sorta like antique plates, in that they're meant to limit the use of the car to shows and events or maintainence drives. Your part of MOTOWN is hungry for ticket money. Some dickhead cop sees you drive to work a couple days in a row...

Maybe a vanity plate for the back bumper and a single 60 commercial for the front? Just thinkin out loud...

 

Nice wagon girl! Here is a suggestion for the cargo area:

 

Sure I was planning on getting to the swap meet anyway.

I've never been messed with yet and I've been running a YOM plate on Big Olds for 10 years now. I'm cheap, I wanna run that YOM plate for the rest of my life on this wagon for $35.00. Kinda makes me feel like I'm getting something for nothing every year.... you know, cuz I won't have to register it every single year like our real daily drivers.

That would be cool and we could play it nakeed at car events.

Cool, I'll call Larry when I get back from Austin, TX and we'll come up with a meeting place and time.

 

35.00 for antique yom plates? damb here in ohio we pay 50.00 for the same deal

 

It's very cool Denise! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Great ( as always) seeing you in Austin.

 

How did I miss this excitement? I've really gotta quit working so hard. LOVE that longroof, Denise!

 

Nice long roof ! Im loving my 61 safari. if i would start a wagon group, it would be the WAGoons!

 

After this past weekend my wagon is now called "Cookie Pusher".
Photos and story to follow shortly

 

Bring it to the Jalopy Showdown Invitational July 28th and we can compare notes.

 

IT was good seeing you in Bowling Green again. I was really liking the wagon. I am doing a thread and there will be some pics of your wagon in it.

 

Do tell this story!!

 

Sell Big Olds??? pfffft... no way anyone would believe that...

Wagon looks good. It's going to be a ton easier to haul people from the gate at Kzoo now. You can get everyone in one trip!
