How Popular Are Wagons in Your Community?

Tons of Taurus and Mercury wagons around here, rarely see any '91-'96 GM B bodies. I showed my Vista when I had it and would usually be the only wagon unless it was a bigger show. There are a couple of 91-96 Roadmasters around, I've never seen another 91-92 Custom Cruiser in this area, although there has been one like mine on Craigslist here for for a while.

Most cool, takes a really special person to own such an important vehicle.

TBI's don't get no respect.
I like mine, has plenty of power for me, I'm used to driving a six-banger Astro van... with TBI.

 

I really like this pic



My photo hacking needs some work, but I think it didn't turn out that bad.....

 

That's very cool, Tedy! I never thought the view out my living room window could be so vintage!

 

I was rear-ended in an '89 Taurus wagon years ago. Had two friends in the car, one who was begging to sit in the way back. I wouldn't let him, as the car was moving.
Good I didn't, as when we got hit, the back of the car crumpled to the rear axle. I did not get to see what the inside of the cargo area looked like as I was taken away by ambulance. I do not believe he would have fared very well or survived.

 

Few days ago on a four lane highway between cities on a straight stretch, no hills, nothing blocking vision, sun shining and dry, we passed an SUV sitting along the side with another late model SUV inside it up to the front seats!
The sun was high enough it did not cause blindness. In the country. It is not all that busy of a road around 10AM. Makes you wonder and worry!

 

I remember as a kid, riding in the back of moms chevy vega kammaback (no seat back there) and flipping off this guy who was snearing at me at a redlight............well, he hopped out and began to inform my mother how he was an off duty cop and how I had flipped him off etc etc.............then he looked shocked as the little woman from Brooklyn, NY unleased a tongue trashing on him. I have always been correct in her eyes!

back on topic............there is an early 90's roadmaster wagon in my town thats works hard as a taxi everyday. It looks like hell, but still runs.............I have a pic and will upload it when I get it off my phone.

 

heres that taxi I mentioned! Ugly but it runs.

 

Don't know if it's still runnin but a tiny island community not far away had an old Checker cab running for years. Complete with duct tape over rust out holes. Ugly is in the eyeball of the beholderator!

 

Road hard Roady

Looks just like the grey/green(blue?) one this group of red-necks drives in near by Norfolk. They lived in my town a
while and were lots of trouble for our school and community. Shocks and springs bottomed out under their weight and
leaning to the left, they pulled up to me one day while my son and I were shopping stereo speakers;
whoopin' and a hollerin' and havin' a good ol' time...
They were drunk.
6 of them, riding 2 x 2 x 2 and gave a shout about my wagon. When I went to have a conversation I realized they were more gassed than the wagon. Waste of my time, waste of a good wagon...
Had I seen that car before they bought it, it would have been mine and I might be a 2 wagon home right now...

 

Taken a lickin and still a tickin...

 

actually its dark blue under all that dirt...... I saw it clean once is how I know.

 

Not many RWD wagons around here.
I can count all the wagons on one hand.
Most are used up or derbied.
Maybe that why Waygun get so much attention.
I was one of only three wagons at 2 local car shows this past summer,and at one Mopar only show-I was the ONLY wagon.
Here's a few I share company with...

 

North Royal Ave at Chester Street by the old Royal Dairy?

 

correct.........u know your way around Front Royal, VA!!!

now guess this location and you get a paper plate award!

for a bonus, guess which vehicle at the intersection might win in a collision with the concrete truck!

 

Not so easy, but I'm going to guess that we are looking at southbound traffic on 340 just north of the Front Royal exit off 66.
I hope there wasn't a collision with the concrete truck after the photo was taken. I'm guessing the concrete truck would win.
