    I have a 1960 comet wagon. I my fiance got it for me a year ago at the spring auto fair in Charlotte NC 2011. I saw it and fell in love with it!! I have worked on it little by little. My brother-in-law just rebuilt the engine. It has a 200 straight 6. I painted the valve cover and air cleaner pink! Ihope you guys love it as much as I do I have enjoyed looking at all of your wagons!!:yahoo:

    Can't wait to see that car all together and what other plans you have for it. It will be uniquely yours under the hood! I think I may like it when all done!:yup: The car really does look solid. I like the patina, too!

    Welcome! I like the cross-hair fender ornaments. Maybe those make it easier to park? The '57 Ford wheel covers look stylish, too.

    :Welcome: Mrsfomocofive0, you have great taste in cars, that is a sweet looking Comet you got there. :)
    The covers are very pink, kudos for making your own, with your own touches. Keep us up dated on your progress as they happen. You can start your own thread in the Cosmetic & Restoration Forum if you like.
    Hope to see you around the site. :wave:

    Welcome to the forums. Kind of a rare wagon, I suspect. Very neat. It is fun to not have the same thing as everyone else.

    Personalizing our wagons is what this is all about. Just driving vintage wagons, or often just any wagon, already differentiates us from the herds. Keep up the posts on your progress, and don't let anyone tell you it has to be one way or the other, do it the way you like and enjoy it.
