    Looks like it would make a good trailer puller. I would want to check that driver side rear quarter for rust. It looks iffy right behind the rear wheel.

    I don't like the color. Looks faded though. Might have looked better when new.

    Also, why aren't the headlights hidden? Obviously the headlight door mechanism isn't working.

    Light Blue was a genuine factory Ford color for 1974. I don't care for it either. :2cents:

    Now why couldn't that "local to me" '73 for $1995 be a Colony Park?? :)

    I think the color in that ad is what the wagon probably looked like when new, and now it's just faded after all these years. I think the original color looks OK. It has just faded after 41 years into that pukey blue/green it is now.

    Yes, this apparently was a very yucky genuine 1974 Ford factory color. Here it is on a Galaxie 500 sedan.
