What turned you on to Wagons?

That IS sad.. GET OUT THERE! I visit this yard at least once a month.. they have a great Mopar C-Body section that I constanly keep an eye on.. and they get in new arrivals quite frequently. They have a nice set of Bucket Seats out of a 71 Plymouth Suburban I want to snag for my T&C soon...

 

I prefer the DVAP in Casa Grande. Mostly 50's cars and it is awesome to walk through the yard.

On a separate note, check this out Hearse lovers....

Don't feel too bad...I live in L.A. and know people who've never been to Disneyland.And Disneyland advertizes like crazy!

 

OK...OK...I'm goin' nuts here....what's DVAP????

 

My little go-around at the junkyards, yesterday felt like disneyland. All those rides didn't move though. But I did go to Univeral's playgrounds and disneyland, years ago (1985). Even saw my first Rolls Royce on a tow-truck, near Venice Beach!

 

Rolls Roces don't break down,they just have momentary difficulties...That was their ad slogan,for a while...

But like I said, the yard in Casa Grande is way cooler.

 

A friend of my dad's during WWII worked at RR. They kept in touch after the War and he had moved up to Advertising. They were offering all kinds of perks to regain the market. One was the road-side recovery, anywhere. They'd fly a crew in by helicopter, to 'renew' the issue. If it couldn't be, they'd put you in a hotel, commensurate with the 'brand', of course, and tow the car to the nearest dealer and arrange a replacement car until you were back or the car was fixed.

They 'never' leave you stranded. was the slogan way back then.

 

google cw coach sales in cincinnati, they have some bargain hearses..


my love of wagons came from just loving anything that hauls alot of people, but my real love is an 89 colony park. it belonged to my dance teacher and for some reason i just fell in love with that car, its the one i mention in my intro.

im also a minivan lover, i have a minivan too... and im wondering what smell youre talking about.. mine has leather and still smells like new.

 

Jase, this company makes a safe "New Car Scent":

The Factory odours have had some bad press over the last few years, though:

This one from last July (2008), says the factories are doing better:

turned to wagons

when i was little my dads friend had a mercury country squire it was really fun to pretend to drive it and it was huge! (to a little kid) just recently i got a 1990 Buick Estate Wagon for my 21st b-day which is 15 days from now. man it is immacuate the person who had it last passed away (bless his soul) and his wife couldnt bear to look at it anymore book price was 2283 but we got it for 1650.00. i plan to show it off this weekend at the monthly car show in quincy il.!

 

Those are NICE wagons, Shag!!

 

The TV show I got the slogan from,also explained the incredibly quick and complete road service you got with owning a Rolls. The AAA had nothing on the Rolls Royce service department,according to the show.
