Features Alllllll the Longroofs.....Let's see 'em boys

Workin on a deal for this atm , November 60 build

 

Now that is a nice restoration!

 

Crappy picture of Ricky Winsor's old wagon.

 

^thats sweet

 

my girl used to have a 57 ford country sedan... i miss that thing!

 

Heres the wagon so far...1959 Pontiac Safari

 

...and the roof rack just out of the chrome shop

 

...and my 14 yr old sons '60 chev just pulling in last week from Saskatchewan

 

your safari wagon looks like mine..i come real close to crushing it last batch i crushed..but i am going to start keeping all of my old ones..

 

A work in progress for far too long, it's going to move under its own power this year or...I'll end up saying the same thing next year.

 

nice 64...looks like you are getting it..we all are slow most times..

 

yet to start on this 63' ford. i have a wagon problem. i can't seem to get enough of them it started with a 59 burb to go with my truck, then came the galaxie wagon. since i needed a DD wagon i picked up a IH travelall in good running shape i can't help myself now i seen a 73' burb 2wd/454 near my house that would look good with my 77 short bed
X2 on that 64' those wheels are perfect!

 

Here is a pic of my 61 Falcon as I drove it from Medford, Oregon back to Austin, TX.







You can see the pillow in the bakc seat on the last pic, I was sleeping in the back.

Had undersized tires on a 2 speed auto with a 1:1 final drive so I could only do 50-55 all the way.

 

Heres mine down at Cayuga dragway best of 11.7 118mph

 

I have a few. My favorite is this "Mint '53"

The Flattie with the dual carb offy and Fentons isn't staying


In it's place will be one of these:

 

Another that I'm putting an air suspension system into - highway car!

 

Here's one way down on the list - the back burnered "Rot Rod Wagon" with the way soft under belly

 

Here is my dad and his Stratochief around 60 at the Sunoco he had in Ottawa, ON. It had a 261/ 3sp standard, floor shift early in the 60's. I drove the crap out of it, gave it to the scrap yard around 66, all rusted out

 

I wished I had radiused my rear wheel wells now, so I could get some wider meat under the ol' gal...

Whoever did this one did a real hack job. If I ever get around to this one, it will have new quarter panels and the full frame(because of the soft under belly) will allow me to go as big as I want without hangin' out of the body. This one is a nice example:

 

My very first professional Photo shoot for a Magazine was a 'Longroof Woody':

The car is local to Ohio, some of you in the Ohio area have seen this one, no doubt. The pix were taken at Norwalk, during the "Fords at the Summit" event.

 

The 'Longshot'!

The magazine is no longer printing, another victim of the economic downturn. R.I.P. - 'Legendary Ford Magazine'

 

Man, that's purty!
