Fellow wagonite

thank you.

 

Spotted this one while driving today. I had to wait until a red light to attempt the photograph.

 

Saw this yesterday while the boy and I were going to skate. I flew past our turn In Hot pursuit. “You missed out turn!!!” He says! “Oh, check out the station wagon!!!!” That’s right my boy! A nice one indeed!

 

Is that an eagle?! That might be one of the cleanest examples I’ve seen in a while. I bet up there in Washington there’s a lot though huh? I feel like there’s a lot of Subaru’s too?

 

Yes it's an Eagle. I was actually surprised to see it and equally surprised to see how nice it was.
There used to be lots of them around, but not so much anymore. I can't recall the last one I saw before this one.
As for subarus, yeah, there are tons of them.

 

That's a sweet looking 57. I like it.

 

This car belongs to a customer of ours. He has some really neat vintage iron, but this is his parts runner.

 

Count it!!!

 

I think it was a Pontiac

 

I REALLY need to keep a camera 'at the ready' in the car. I'm not real good at taking pics with my phone.......

On the subject of AMC Eagles, there's one that's been sitting at the Eugene Copart auction yard for months. I don't know if it's a paperwork issue, or whether it's just not getting any bids...as to why it's still there. Looks to be all there, with some wear and tear, but I didn't really notice any collision damage. Could be a charity donation. I think it's a loaded 'Limited' model, too.

 

Hmmmm. Interesting. Not sure about the “79” and the county distinctions so I looked it up. As you said 79 is no longer Stewart but Shelby county. I think from 1920-somewhere around 1965 you got a new metal plate every year. Were they different colors? In order to be able to use a vintage plate like that though I think it has to have been isssued to that specific car at one time?

 

Yeah, that yoyo's handicapped, all right.

 

Yeah like I used to say about my good buddy who was a disabled veteran. “He’s handicapped from the neck up.”
