    Greetings! I am new to this site and was wondering if someone could tell me where to purchase small parts for my wagon like a left turn signal lens cover? Also, where I can post some sales ads for this same car? Thanks!!

    Buenas Chucho! Se requiere 5 'posts' antes de metter anuncios de venta.

    For the lights and lenses, you could try this guy. Email him if he doesn't have any right away, and he'll get back to you pronto!

    Yikes, I can't believe that slipped by me. You're absolutely right, Wix.

    Stand corrected... it is a 1973 not 1972.

    From: Chucho

    Yep!, you are right it is a 1973. Had to pull my title papers out and refresh my memory. On that plastic panel that has the two air conditioning vents on it that is just above the glove-box cover it says: Galaxie 500. The guy I got the car from said it is also called a Country Sedan. So, is my car a 1973 Country Sedan/Galaxie 500, or is it, 1973 Galaxie 500 station wagon? Also, any idea of what its used car sale value is? The body is in great shape as it has no dents, never been in an accident. The only little bit of rust is along side the very back door where the water runs down over the taillights. The motor is also in pretty good shape. This car is my daily driver car. It has factory air on it, but the compressor stopped working so it was taken off with the other air conditioning parts. I'm sure it can easily be reinstalled if someone wanted to do so. The interior of the car is mostly OK. All the door panels are intact and original. The dash area is OK, but the top of the dash is somewhat cracked, the front seat needs to be redone, and it also needs a new headliner as some of the seams are coming apart in 3-4 spots. All in all this car is in great shape and dependable. I would not hesitate to drive this car from California to lets say the State of Washington.

    Thanks for that link, Norm. He may be just the man to find my Toyota lens.

    Your wagon would officially be called a 'Country Sedan', but it has the name 'Galaxie 500' on the dash emblem because that's the trim level of the car. The Country Squire would probably have an emblem that said 'LTD'
