    I forgot to tell you that my boyfried Maarten has bought a 1952 Ford Range wagon during our vacation in the US in 2008. Still to be restored (one of our projects)...

    This is the one, bought in Las Vegas...

    Broken glass (bulllet holes) but we already bought a new windshield

    Maarten is proud of his wagon

    Maarten talking to the former owner, Skip Burrows, interesting man, delivers cars to moviemakers

    We bought a 1979 Ford E250 van in Las Vegas (sorry, no wagon) to drive across the southwest. We slept in it these 4 weeks. We sold it in the Netherlands, we cannot keep them all unfortunately.

    We visited salvage yards looking for parts and came across this cool caddy:

    No, we did not buy the caddy, we cannot have them all...

    Looks like it was a fun trip. :tiphat:

    It also looks like how me and my honey used to travel back in our day...in a Van with Dog:)

    One of our stops long long time ago (but not our picture):rofl2: The sign is the same but the local store was a trailer and the red hotel in the back ground had not been painted since it was built in ...remember Noah's Ark??
    :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

    Great pix, meuli! Maarten's wagon looks solid.
    Good thing you didn't buy the Caddy...it would take up half the Country! :biglaugh:
