    Durn that's a nice wagon other than the mismatched wood pattern.
    Really clean. Depends on the price whether I could live with it. I'd have to get in from the passenger side.

    Very nice, clean wagon. But what were they thinking with the woodgrain?! Definitely would bother me to.

    Believe it or not this wagon shows up in the list of "most watched cars" under the collector car page on eBay. But with only 4 hours left to go in the auction it will be off the page soon.

    To me, yours (and most others) is no where near as obvious as the one for sale. I think it's because of the drastically lighter and darker shades of the woodgrain they selected.

    Premier,

    Your's is/was fine. The original woodgrain on the CE's was intended to look like the random characteristic of real woodgrain. The woodgrain treatment on this Ford is all in straight lines, making the need for it to all line up for the entire length of the car more necessary...and more noticeable when not applied correctly. Nothing wrong with yours. (y)
