    This time its not mine but rick and mandy's.(Lonestarmopar) told them about this wagon in okc suburb. They checked it out and bought it on the spot but couldn't find a trailer. I'm 45 min away so I went and got it, cleaned it up and unloaded it.
    Clean car from CA with van nuys pollard tag frame. 1 piece bumper, rebuilt front end, floors have 2 spots with no more than 2 2 inch holes
    Found a 7-11 slurpee discount 15c in 1975, old gum wrappers a red pig,

    Oxidation wiped off with dish soap

    Congrats on the find, longroofs are neat !Most turned away from them but I find my '56 townsman to be really handy for hauling grandkids . Leave the patina, patch the floors, put some belts in it and enjoy.

    Awsome! I am a recent convert to wagonism after thinking they look kinda goofy all my life... Now that I've been driving our Falcon around I'm wondering how I have managed NOT to own one all these years! It's sure good to see little ones getting involved in this deal too.. Imagine the stories he'll have that his class mates can't even comprehend!

    Sedans are not 'handy' enough.

    That's a keeper. Hope he's learning to motor-mouth a 4 speed.

    My boys will either be into cars or not at all. drug all over to swap meets, 1100 mile round trips to roundup, going after old cars. they will certainly have memories.
    This car is going to Dallas. Rick will do her up right
