I put my foot on the rear bumper one day to tie my sneaker and the bumper fell off in the driveway. My father-in-law also had one of similar vintage for a while. One spring we were working on his boat in the boatyard, getting it ready for launching. We drove to a gas station and filled up about six, five gallon gas cans to fuel up the boat. We put them in the wagon with the rear seats folded down to make room. Couldn't shut the rear doors because the whole car had deformed due to the weight of the gas cans. The early 70's were not the best years for Ford or any other American manufacturer for that matter. |

The early 70's were not the best years for Ford or any other American manufacturer for that matter. I have a '70 Torino GT fastback, 351C 4V, auto, air, power disc brake car sitting in my shop on my lift. It was bought new in '69 by a man in Greenville, SC, and I'm the second registered owner. It had a thumb-sized rust spot in the inner lower rear quarter caused by trash collecting in the trunk crevice and holding moisture (I fixed it already), and a half-dollar sized soft spot in the passenger floor right above the exhaust. Other than that it's solid and rust-free, but it has lived its entire life in SC. Hope to get it back on the road by next spring with fresh paint, carpet, motor and tranny, and chrome. Lots of work, but it's fun and relaxing for me. |

Wrong Kevin, although the dealer's 'business manager' tried really hard to sign me up for their version. Krown Rustproofing has the recommendation of the Canadian Automobile Protection Association. I'm not Kevin, so if you want to carry on this conversation like an adult with a brain, do so. Now, do you realize that the dealer almost always outsources that work to businesses just like you are talking about. Do you realize there is no real data that suggests that it is anything more than snake oil? Do you realize there are millions of sites telling you it just doesn't do anything? This guy seems knowledgeable: "Undercoating that goes semi hard doesn't really do much and it doesn't creep into crevices. Iv'e been rustproffing vehicles myself for over 15 years. We first tried used oil but it made such a mess, then 10W30, then Rust Check, then Krown and now Fluid Film. I have also tried putting the black undercoating on with a Shutz gun and it just made the truck very hard to work on later, I didn't see any benefits. The key to rustproofing is getting where you can't see, this includes inside body panels, under hood and all the chassis. We spray all of our farm equipment before it's put into storage and all of our snow equipment. Who cares if it attracts dust. the dust and FF together actually create a protective coating that will be washed off in the spring. How well can you wash underneath your truck? This is actually the first fall I've used FF but I'm just promoting rust proofing in general. FF is competitive in price and doesn't seem to run or drip like the others. I manged to spray over 6 gallons of bulk this fall, so for less then $10 /vehicle using bulk and less then $20/ vehicle using aerysol cans IMO you would be stupid not to use it, taking into consideration the price of equipment. Sorry for the long post" |

I only recall one "contemporary" station wagon in our family before I left for college... http://tinyurl.com/bp3pk9c Ours was silver, with a three speed on the floor and a "slant six" engine. My mom drove it around for years. We had older station wagons in the family, all 1948-49 jeep vehicles. Like this: http://tinyurl.com/d2erlsx But ours never had the "woody" side trim. Also had a jeepster that was the twin of this one: http://tinyurl.com/d4bdxjd My father had an affinity for jeep vehicles. The only p.o.s. jeep I remember was this beauty: http://tinyurl.com/cc985tu It was awful as a utility truck. -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |
