    Hello stationwagon lovers!:wave:
    Let my introduce my self:
    I am Tom and i live in The Netherlands Europe. I love American cars and my lovely wife like them to. We have 4 beauty's standing in our garage.
    The first we bought in 1995 is a 1971 mustang Grande. 351 CUI 2 barrel and fully loaded and she is a trophy winner from the day we bought her. We are the second owner and we going to visit the first owner for the third time this year in Orange County CA.
    The second is a 1988 Mustang GT. Bought her from the first owner.This car is absolute like new. She went for the second time Best Mustang Europe.
    The third one is the car from my wife Christel, a 1991 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. What a classy wolf in sheepclothes this car is. She is also like new and we found a good one after a year. Also from first owner.
    The last one is teh reason why i am on this forum.
    It is the 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire. We bought this car for our little baby Maika, because we want a family car:icon_drive:. The car looked like s..t. The paint was a nightmare:yikes:, but the interior like new. Engine in good condition. So we went for a total make over and he came out like new. Thanks to my wife Christel, pregnant at that time and did not care about the carparts laying in our house. She worked on the car till her last day of pregnancy:wow:.
    Some pictures are coming.
    I hope i learn a lot from this forum;)!

    Hello Rev,

    Yeah, the second pic-link works. I started at the top. First one is toast too. Photobucket changed their layouts.

    Probably was...kind of. They never made a convertible. They were after market versions. Two companies converted them...don't recall the names off hand. You can still get parts for the convertibles like the motors etc. Parts are hard to get and expensive for the car but us owners learned long ago the the entire drive line is a Mustang. Parts are cheap for those and even have the same part number but half the price.

    One of the main conversion companys was ASC. They were either in Chicago or Michigan somewhere. I don't remember. They were on the Fox chassis and parts are plentiful.

    Sheesh! You just reminded me about those cargo barriers for dogs and just general cargo in a wagon. Who makes those?
