    I posted this in Discussions yesterday and missed this thread... looking forward to learning from you and appreciating the beauty that many people do not see when looking at station wagons...
    ==============

    Hi all,

    I thought I'd chime in... and share pictures of my ride. I am also an MGB owner and enthusiast, so keeping both of these old cars running will be interesting.

    1985 Ford Country Squire, 182,000 km, I'm the third owner, only winter driven during its 1st two years. I plan on sprucing it up.

    I am a fan of just about any wagon but am partial to the late 60s and most of the 70s. Having grown up in a station wagon in the early to mid 70s, I have a special place in my heart for the Fords - but appreciate the beauty of all domestics of that era.

    I've been enjoying what my wife refers to as 'station wagon porn' on here. Looking forward to learning more about the wagons.

    Beautiful Pontiac, fellow Maritimer! With all the salt poured on our roads over the winter, we must be a rare breed with the few survivors that are left.

    Looking forward to reading about your Beaumont!
