    There's the answer on the fender skirts. The 2 door and sedan have a LOT of tuck under behind the rear wheels, and the wagon as almost none. Since the skirts follow the fender line, the skirts will be different.

    True. I don't know on this 75 but on the 65-68
    T&C's the wheelbase is an inch shorter on the wagons than the sedans and the front dog leg is narrower on the wagon skirts. They look the same until you try to put them on.

    DAMN! Called on the wagon this A.M. to set up an inspection later today for the Professor. Unfortunately, it got sold last night. Jairus and I were going to have a lot of fun with this one.....

    That's a shame but not surprising that it sold fast. A good looking, loaded wagon at a reasonable price.

    Hi Krash, sorry just seeing this thread for the first time. Im the one who bought that wagon. It was too nice to pass up, I put it in my storage unit and will pull it out next week to get some photos and report on the condition. I have not had any time with it except to drive it from Silverton to Portland (40min) in the dark. The body seems pretty good a little paint bubble on the bottom of the back tailgate door. The interior is good, not showroom but pretty well preserved. The heat did not blow warm and the temp gage never moved the entire drive and the right front part of the motor has a ticking from the manifold, owner said it just needed a new gasket, we will see. good stack of records / original owners manual. Shows a motor rebuild about 20k miles ago. Power windows all work but seem to have a little personality, I guess that is due to it sitting? I am going to talk to my mechanic on Monday-Tue and see what he thinks of the condition. Overall pretty neat wagon. Stereo has a little joystick to push the sound around all the speakers, I tested that as I rolled the Jazz station all the way home. I am not sure if I am going to keep her, I did not want to go the summer without an old wagon and my other project is moving slow.

    Mike

    Small world, eh!

    Mike, we're all glad a wagon lover bought this one. If you decide not to keep her, check with the Professor first.

    Professor give me a call if you still interested. It is cool, if I keep it I will start to restore it cuz I cant help myself. My buddy dropped off a 77 Lincoln with crazy low miles over the weekend so there is a lot of big iron at my house right now. maybe a little too much. Mike 503-550-1403

    I cant stop driving this wagon everywhere, I have driven some fancy cars in the past but nothing turns heads like this big beauty. And everyone is smiling when you roll by. My buddy laughed when he saw I was not driving my mustang as I opted to roll the wagon. I think it may have had the wood paneling at one time then was painted two-tone, not sure this was an original paint scheme.

    Spiceman: The 2 tone paint is not original. From the factory, the Town & Country had wood grain standard as well as fender skirts. Unfortunately the skirts are wagon specific, so finding them could be a bit tricky.

    Beautiful wagon Spiceman. If I didn't already have the Safari, I might be looking you up. Unfortunately, only have room for the one land yacht. In fact, the T&C, being a bit longer than the Safari, probably wouldn't fit in my garage without blocking the door to the laundry room.
