    Looks like it had one when the photo was taken. Someone wanted it just for the engine. What a shame.

    Yup, and chances are it was a 429 car.

    Looks like it's in OK shape by the photos.

    Hm, No motor or transmission... I think I'd be getting an easy 25 MPG if I stuck a Diesel and Manual in that. :) And there it is over in Oregon.

    We do have a 'Toledo' here in Oregon, but I believe this wagon is in Ohio. (phone is 419 area code)

    Just like Fat Tedy's avatar, these things have what can only be described as massive ears!

    I was wonfdering if it started its life as a Colony Park? The top trim which would border the wood looks painted over. The hideaway lamps were also standard on CP's.

    Nope. Looks like a plain 'ole Marquis wagon - basically a Colony Park, w/o the wood. Mercury also had a less well-equipped wagon, with exposed headlamps under the 'Monterey' name.
