MY CAR!!!!

I love old station wagons!

Up here those old Ford wagons were no match for the salty sea air and
the tons of rocksalt spread on our streets and roads each winter.

yeah, Before i retired it, My 1990 Colony Park was showing severe
signs of body cancer especially on the metal right behind the back
tires and along the rocker panels.

My last three new vehicles have all received yearly application of
Krown Rustproofing.
It works....important since I usually keep my vehicles approx 10 years.

Actually, rusproofing is a gimmick to get your money. Probably the same
dealer that said he sold you a "truck" right?

In the early 80's I had a 1972 Ford Country Squire wagon. 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.

'68 Mustang, lived it's life in the salt of the north, felt something
one day, got out, right rear seemed to be lower than the left, open the
truck, there's one end of the right leaf spring poking through the trunk
floor!

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.

I grew up riding in the back of a mid-60's Country Squire with picture
of wood exterior. That thing was a tank.

HA! My dad had a 1976 Lincoln town car. One big chunk of heavy metal.
I drove it over to my brothers house, and when I backed out of his
drive way and just started down the gravel road, I heard something go
ka-thukk and felt like something was dragging. I got out of the car
and the back bumper was being held to the car only by the wires to the
license plate light...
