    I rescued 2 wagons from the crusher...2 days in a row. Tuesdays rescue was a 1984 Old Custom Cruiser and on Wednesday I saved a 1991 Chevy Caprice. Both are tired and not very pretty but they are mostly complete and with drivetrains intact.
    Last week I bought an '84 Parisienne wagon that wasn't headed for the crusher but it was getting close. I don't have any photos of the Caprice yet.

    Those are both clean straight wagons. Good for you.

    It would have been criminal to send any of them to the crusher, all three look like they have a lot of life left.

    The are times when buying too many things creates more waste and a wanting that you were not a hoarder. Let's hope those wagons can be made tempting to others and passed down to keep them on the road.
