That is a vintage pic, Richard Charbonneau is/was the owner.I can't remember the name of the speedway rite now (it's long gone) but this picture was taken in Manitoba Canada in 1967/68.
Yep, and we still drag race wagons!! I love it when someone posts wagon racing pics. Do we have forum for racing? I did not know if we did.
Dude!!, that is feeken awesome Man!!:banana: You HAVE to show us more of this wagon....The Vista looking roof, on a Canadian Beaumont!? I've never seen that EVER!
Thanks.The roof was added on in the early 80's.Heres a few more.Tha wagon has a 454 with N2o.So far runs 12.5 and 11.5 on the bottle.4200lbs.The best addition was the 4l80 trans over the summer,with a lockup 3500 stall.
You sure had me "WTF" for a bit, I've done alot of internate search for "Canadian only" models over the years of all cars and trucks and...Ya, you blew whats left of my mind That roof looks, looks how it would/could have been back in the day. I'm sure you know a Canadian " Phonco Bow" wagon is hens teeth to begin with but with the roof, IMO your the first to have a Candadian One of None. That is a awesome looking wagon! I still think we need more pics
Yes the Ford was Charby's wagon from the early 70's. My Dad was involved with the car after it was purchased from Charby by Clyde Birch in WI. I was the lucky kid that got to wash and wax it and do "little crew helper" jobs. We all had to start somewhere. Unfortuantly I believe this car is gone :-(. Last time I saw it was in a farm field in 1975. This car got me hooked on drag racing forever! I will post more pictures when back to my office this week-end. Cool site by the way.
Thats cool that your so into the Canadian models.They become more interesting when you find out how rare they are compared to the American models.They dont bring the dollar ,but theyre more rare for a comparable model.Ie chevelles and Beaumonts,Novas and Acadians,or even the Ford trucks vs the Mercurys.Ill post some more pics in a day or so.
