    Hello. I'm new to Station Wagon Forums. I live in Redondo Beach, California.I love Long Roofs and glad to find a site about nothing but. I have a '55 Ford Ranchwagon that is a never ending project. It has a ’57 T-Bird 312” engine with other goodies.

    I bought my first ’55 Ranchwagon when I was 15 years old and always wanted another. I bought this one as my “midlife” crisis project in 2000.

    Sorry about the GIANT pictures (you can tell I'm new) :sorry: I can't figure out how to make them a medium size. They're either small or too big.

    Welcome aboard from the other coast. The 68 Barracuda convertible I owned back in my college days and through the 80's, eventually ended up in Redondo Beach. If you see a bright blue, with white interior, 68 Barracuda convertible running around Redondo Beach, then you've seen my old car.

    Welcome to the madness blockhead! You get a :camera::camera::camera::camera::camera: rating for pics especially for an opening post. Looks like a cool car, even June might approve of it if Ward keeps the hood closed and doesn't goose it going in or out of the driveway. :Welcome: and (y)
