    Lucky for me my wife and I went out to a car show in Macungie Pa today and found this baby in the Car Corral!

    Runs good, low mileage, kept in garage by 89 year old owner that took it out 5 times a year for the past few years.

    Interior pristine, headliner not split or dry rotted. Glass all good, wing windows work and looks nice!

    May just leave it as a great Survivor and run it like it is.

    Like I said, lucky!!

    Welcome to the forum, Dadster....

    That Tempest Safari looks to be in good shape.

    I really like the Tempest wagons. The color looks very close to what the original color was on my Ford. Good luck!:Welcome:
