    Welcome to the forums Jean-Michel!
    Nice wagon you have there.Do you have many problems obtaining parts for it?
    Just out of curiosity do you have to run yellow tinted headlamps on the wagon? I was under the impression that yellow lamps were mandatory in France.
    Many years ago I worked as a parts manager at a Mercedes-Benz dealership and one shipment of parts included a couple boxes of yellow headlamp bulbs(for replaceable bulb lamps).When questioned about it the depot said that they were for export to France and Nigeria.
    Anyway I hope you enjoy your time on the forum;we have some great people here.

    Yes but you speak CAR very well.
    That's a very nice clean station wagon. Surprisingly you have American flag mats and pillows plus American money mats in the rear.
    Enjoy the forum. Many of us don't speak French either. But WAGON is spoken here. :wave:

    That was decades ago. You're still allowed to drive with them on vehicles which were originally delivered with such bulbs
    Feel free to write in French. Quite a few members here understand it

    Welcome mecanovi, I don't speak French, but I love French pop music from the 1960's and a few other things from your country. I love your Ford wagon, thank you for the great pics of it and the two other pics! You will love it here!

    Mexican Spanish has quite a few Indian words. My brother-in-law is originally from Argentina and he uses a few words which Spaniards don't understand. For example, Zapacho is pumpkin. I think "el choclo" (the corn) is also Indian
