    Hi, I am a car-a-holic

    Hey everyone! I am new here to this site. I am here to learn. I have many different cars and different hobbies mostly related around collecting mobilia. My goal in life is to creat my on musuem. I have been around wagons my whole life. First family wagon was my dad's 72 Chrysler town and country. We used to vacation all over the country in that thing. I used to push it around the block for football training in the summers. I remember when he let me take it to an AC/DC concert when I was 16. Loved that 440 and posi rear end! I have always had a soft spot for wagons and have owned a couple along the way. My kids are of the age where I think it is my turn to get a wagon and tour the country. I have a 1963 Avion that I want to pull with it. We took it to Bonneville last year for vacation, but used my late model to pull it....I have a 1950 Chevy Panel truck I can pull it with, but with no windows the kids can't see the U.S. the way it should be........so I am looking for a wagon!

    Welcome aboard, sounds like its time to find something with a big block, or do a duramx/allison conversion into an older wagon!

    Love the camper btw.

    :Welcome:to the wagon train, curator. I love those late 50's early 60's Mopars too! Of course, for pulling that trailer you couldn't go wrong with one like your dad had either.(y)
