    Hi folks,

    Found this forum today and man, looking at some of the photo's posted here made me hook right up. I love it!

    I pretty much grew up with station wagons. 1960 started my love affair with station wagons and my Dad's brand new '60 Ranch Wagon. We always had wagons in the family. Our first vacation in the 60 Ranch Wagon was out to Pike's Peak. :) and now I'm sitting here writing the wagon list in my head ...

    '60 Ranch Wagon - White with green interior, 292V8 - (my first driving car)
    '66 Ranch Wagon - Coppertone on beige, 289.
    '72 Torino Country Squire Woody 351C
    '72 Kingswood 350

    Through the 70's and 80' I worked at various Ford dealers and always had demo's and they were always station wagons. But I never did get to drive a '77 Mercury Villager.

    '88 Taurus LE Wagon (280,000 miles)
    '99 Taurus LE Wagon (360,000 miles)
    and currently with a
    '03 Taurus SEL Wagon ( 127,000 miles)

    I also have '79 Jeep Cherokee S 2dr Wagon.

    I have my heart set on finding and rebuilding a 1960 Ford Wagon. I'd love to find a woody version... ;)

    Anyway, just sayin' hey ....

    Hey Jim,

    Thanks for that link. That's truly an awesome looking ride. SKirt's and all.

    Wish I had a wallet thick enough for that one. That' the same white/seafoam Dad's Ranch was. Shew. Make's me get all misty.

    Thanks :)

    Chap
