New Guy means new passions

Hello All- a quick intro- Im in upstate NY ( Not NYC) and just got my first wagon. or should i say the wagon got me. I have a 46 Chevy that is all original but not very practical for highways if you know what i mean. I was thinking about something big enough for the kids and the dog and be able to travel with. And then it happened.....I was at Hershey last fall with some guys who had deep pockets. They were going to spend my money if i liked it or not. I was walking the car corral and there she was---1966 Ford Country Sedan. Long black bitch with no trim and a roof rack. Wide tires and a 351W hiding under the hood and dual exhaust out the back. Interior very nice and paint---well nice enough with no holes. They boys said "oh no what about this other car---its only $10K---you dont want a wagon" Nope- the wagon had me as soon as i walked up to her and she came home with me. BARELY fit on the car trailer. The Kids and dog LOVE the long black bitch. And so do i...

Hi Marty! Welcome to the madness!

 

Sweet car man I love it! Welcome to the Forum Marty! :2_thumbs_up_-_anima Really like that body style!

 

Welcome aboard!
That's a good looking acquisition - congratulations!

 

Welcome Marty, Love the Ford!

 

Welcome to the madness Marty! YouLL FIT IN HERE JUST FINE

 

thanks everyone. The wagon is up for the winter and i missing it badly. here is another pic

 

Those are cream colored wide steelies with the dime hubcaps? They work well on that wagon.

 

Welcome Marty, I can see why that wagon grabbed you. Looks great!

 

Hello marty.to the forum. Nice lookin wagon. How about some photos of the slow 46 Chevy. Have a friend trying to steal my 48 Chevy panel truck and stick me with a 39 Chevy coupe rod. :banana:

 

Hi Marty, great looking wagon. SO your friends have no taste but you obviously do... And you've named it already...Long Black B.... well you know the rest...maybe I'll just call her LBB.
A few others around here have been lured by their own wagons, including myself. Hope you have fun and enjoy the forums.

 

Marty
excellent choice...ive got the woodsie version

 

thanks everyone. The steel rims on the wagon were widened an inch so that the original hubcaps could be used. It makes the look. Here is the 46 named "Happyness" by my then 5 yr old daughter. Bought new in 46 by my exwife great uncle and lovingly cared for by her father. He has 51K mi and everything works. its like driving a couch...just floats along. I put about 500 miles a year on him. It will be my sons car when he turns 40 and not a minute sooner!

I am also working on a 1926 Davis which is very interesting.

Thanks for the warm welcome and hopefully i can help someone
Marty

 

Both cars very cool! I too really like the looks of the 66 Ford and the steel rims with dog dish caps look great! Have fun with both cars, and welcome!
