    Hello everyone,
    I'm not sure if you remember me telling you I was purchasing a 59' Rambler wagon and put some money down on it and was going to eventually pick it up from a farm in Canton, Texas. Some of you thought I was crazy for leaving it LOL. Well I finally picked it up. It's amazing, runs and has the original AC! We're going to start fixing it up this weekend!! We cannot wait!! We've cleaned out the garage and made room to keep it safe and out of the elements, after it's been out on a farm for who knows how many years!! :yahoo:

    Super! I thought maybe this deal died. Very happy that you finally got that treasure! :banana: Get some whitewalls to match the one on the back and you are good to go.:yup: I have thought about you and that car and now there's a happy ending. That is a time capsule! :thumbs2: Please...be sure to keep us totally updated on that beauty! You stumbled on one of the best scores I have seen in a long time.:D

    Yeah, full set of fat whites like on the rear!:yup:. Yeah, thast is a score. IMO finds like this this old, you just don't luck out like that where I live. You in the States seem to still have barns etc full of forgoton treasures.

    thanks! I know I LOVE it! Can't wait to pull up in the car pool line at school with all the Escalades LOL!! My husband has to fix the Master Cylinder before I can drive it, but he said that's pretty simple. It's been out in the elements for a long time, but no serious rust, body is straight etc. it is a score!!

    Congratulations. I think we're all sharing your enthusiasm for this outrageous find. It looks in excellent shape, especially when you consider how long it's been out in the elements. You say you can't wait to pull up in the car pool lane at school. What do your kids think of that? Do they love it as well or are they embarrassed by it? Kids can be funny sometimes.

    Galb, the color is awesome. Is the inside as pretty as the outside? Congratulations that's great to finally have her home. Will you be naming her?
