I'm Remco live in the netherlands and refuse to drive european or rice cars. As for the wagon I have a 1997 mercury sable now, way to new and to small. And its only a V6. I'm now looking in the US for a mid 80's luxury wagon. I like the 1974-1978 mercury colony park. Some of my other detroit steel are a 79 chevy C30 dubbelcab dually, That is my daily driver @ this moment and we also use this to tow my airstream. 74 pontiac grand prix needs a little work but is my wife's toy. 57 imperial is in restauration now this was my daily driver for 6 years. Hope to learn and read o lot about the luxury wagons from the 70's here Remco
Welcome to the forums Remco. The '74 to '78 Merc colony parks are awesome wagons, I would like one myself. I have a '78 Ford LTD Country Squire wagon now in green, had a '77 CS wagon in red , '76 LTD Brougham in cream, '78 Ford Thunderbird in silver/blue, '75 Lincoln Mark 4 in silver, and two '79 Lincoln Town Cars (one in all grey and the other all black).
Hi Remco, Glad you have joined the group! You already have some fun vehicles...the thought of a dually rolling around in the Netherlands is a mind-blower! :You_Rock_Emoticon: Also, pics of the Airstream are a must!!! I love those things. One of the reasons I revisited my love of wagons is because of my love of Airstreams. Most of those Airstream guys suggest that the best tow vehicle is a big soft-riding sedan or wagon of the sixties or seventies...they are easier on the monocoque construction. Since I just got rid of my truck in February, I started looking for a good choice for a tow vehicle. Well, now I am so into my station wagon project, that getting an Airstream is totally on the back burner. Someday, but not now. I know you will find a luxury wagon to add to your nice collection.
Here's a pic of the dually with the airstream. I'm not sure if I want to tow the 32 ft airstream ( 8300 pounds ) With a wagon, even a mercury colony park seems a but to small and light for that.
WOW! That is a force to be reckoned with! Yes, I would, most certainly, be hesitant to attempt to pull that GIANT AIRSTREAM with anything less than your bruisin' dually! I think those guys that suggest towing with a sedan or wagon must be thinking of one of the much smaller Airstreams...yours is a palace! GIANT AIRSTREAM...I am not worthy! David
