    Just found this website while looking for something else completely unrelated to Station Wagons on google. Since I am an avid fan of all things automotive, I couldn't help myself, but to take a look. I liked what I saw at first glance, so I registered to see the rest of what is lurking behind door 2. I don't quite own a station wagon at present, but my car(s) do resemble station wagons somewhat... some more than others. I can't say how active I will be, but I promise that I will attempt to stop by occasionally, and if I can help anyone with my technical abilities, I will be glad to. I've turned wrenches for over 50 years, so most of my expertise is with the older cars. If it has electronics or a computer, then I leave that to the younger guys that understand those systems. :thumbs2:

    :Welcome: Junk.

    Is that yours! There's a huge "professional" car following now and that one is fantastic.

    Hey Junk, we used to call those meatwagons. It qualifies in spades. Glad you came by. Lots of us old-schoolers always looking for other ways.:Welcome:

    I will be glad to tell you more about it, but I need to take time to gather my thoughts and put them to words. Please give me a day or two... In the meantime, here are some of the factory photos from when it was new. thanks Junk

    Sounds fine to me. Lots of potential for all kinds of ideas. The one thing it won't do is help a guy pickup the babes.:evilsmile: They seem to have some resistence to hearses. Probably their nurturing nature.:)

    If I had one, I'd take the rollers out and put them in a regular wagon. Handy for hauling plywood, etc. :)

    If only for parts, its probably worth every dime.:thumbs2:
