    Keep chasing your wife around the yard until her hip is healed and get to work on your beat up wagon. It'll look good again. Probably even better than the crappy wagon in the photo.

    We once took photos of my silver and grey Chevy van and RV in that very spot. I'll admit it does not look quite as cool. :D

    Skip the crappy nostalga. How's the wagon coming along wagon man?

    I hear you, sometimes you have to stop and reflect on the good things. Sweet wagon!

    Hang in there. I know life has delivered you a bunch of lemons lately. Take a moment, a deep breath and look around you. I'll bet you can count at least 10 blessings you have in your life within 3 minutes. Focus on those, and the other stuff is just what you have to get through. You've still got the blessings.

    59 Wagon man, what happened? I've been off the forums for a few months, but it sounds like your Ranch Wagon was in an accident? I am so sorry to hear that but you'll get it back up and running before you know it.
    Our family car was a tu tone tan '59 Ford Ranch Wagon 2dr, (yup, I'm that old!!), from '59 when Dad bought it brand new, until 1963 when he traded it in for a '63 Country Sedan. I always loved that the hood opened backwards.
    Good luck on the repair. Hang in there, you'll get 'er done.

    Thanks Cat.
    Yikes, '59, that's an absolute horror story. I can't imagine your reaction when you came out of your room that morning, all pumped for a great "car day" and you saw that. What a shame. My heart really goes out to you. I'm surprised the noise of that jerk running into the Jeep and then your car didn't wake you up.
    Best of luck in getting that gorgeous long roof back in shape.
