    Mick - Here's a link to the gallery page of Stationwagon.com....
    (The site is no longer being updated, but is still open to see...)

    http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/gallery.html

    It has a photo of a '62 (US) Falcon Squire. This should give you an idea of how the wood vinyl siding looked when new. This one's pretty close......

    Notice that on our US wagons, we didn't have the rear quarter 'hash marks' that your did.....


    Also, here's a listing for another '62 Squire currently for sale in Los Angeles. It has the very rare (for here) Bucket seat / console option....

    The 62 and 63 American Falcon Squires should have three chrome hash marks in the wood siding at the trailing edge of the rear quarters. The woodgrain doesn't look right to me on the black one pictured but I could be wrong.

    Hi, Thanks for dropping by.
    You sure have some nice cars there. :2_thumbs_up_-_anima I realy like the low 61 . Cool. Some of them I have not seen before either.
    Your 63 country wagon look a lot like my Compact fairlane, also 63. Mine is a sedan, so I have not put pics in here. Its in pieces, and a long way down the list of things to build :(

    Anyway, thanks for the welcome, and let me know if you find the 'Rocking horse poo' i am chasing (Gills for 62/3)

    Take care,
    Mick
    :)

    But Rev, you have to get out of your Lotus position and actually use the wrench. Teleportation requires some physical involvement. :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh: WiFi just doesn't cut it, bud! :biglaugh:
