That wagon looks factory new....what color white is it? I'm familiar with wimbledon(sp?) which looks kinda off white, that color looks more refrigerator(bright) white?

 

It certainly looks nice, but you may be right on the finishes. Does look a little too 'bright' to be Wimbleton white. Also, the outer woodgrain rails are a bit too dark compared to factory original. Here's an image that could be from a Ford ad....

 

Hmm, Wimbledon White was apparently the only shade available in 67?? This color looks off shade from what I remember??

Sold for $12,500. So many cars, so little time (and money).

 

looks like that was a good purchase, just turn the key and cruise

 

KK, that does look like an ad, especially with the 1967 on the license plate. What surprises me are the wheel covers. They're from a '66 which makes me think they did the ad pics previous to making the decision for the '67. I don't even recall those being available as an upgrade for 67.

 

That car was for sale on Craigslist out of Poulsbo, WA at the beginning of October for $6500. The eBay seller flipped it for a cool 6 grand in profit without really doing anything to it but drive it home. I'm bummed I missed it at the original price...
