    Hi everybody,

    I've been into wagons for a good 15 years and currently have a 1971 AMC Ambassador SST 304/auto, 1955 Plymouth Plaza 2-door wagon v8/manual/overdrive, and a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T rwd. I'm glad to have discovered this forum and look forward to being a member.

    I submitted pics of the Ambassador and the '55 Plymouth to stationwagon.com several years ago, here are links to their respective pages:

    http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1971_AMC_Ambassador.html

    http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1955_Plymouth_Plaza.html

    I don't have any pics of the Magnum, since it looks like every other Magnum on the road :)

    I bought the Ambassador from the original owner with about 160K miles on the odometer, it's all original paint and interior etc. The only mods I have done to it are a set of 15" slot mag rims with 235/60-15 tires, and dual exhaust.

    The '55 Plymouth is all stock and all original but it needs complete restoration. It's got the 1955 "Plymouth" V8, which is a Dodge hemi engine with polysphere heads. It's also got the optional manual transmission with overdrive.

    I bought my Magnum to tow my go-kart trailer, so the mods I have done to it are for towing: hitch+wiring, auxiliary tranny cooler, 180 degree thermostat, and 2.5" mandrel bent catback exhaust. It's going to get a set of full headers and a Diablosport retune in the future.

    Cool wagons, Flair. My history teacher in high school owned a '70 Ambassador 4dr the same color as your wagon.

    Welcome aboard. I missed your intro, but glad to have you.

    Your history teacher? She must've been a babe, to remember her this long. :biglaugh:

    I only remember one from Grade 6, mainly because Canada is a cold country, and her name was Miss (are you ready for this? :evilsmile:) Winterbottom. No joke. It was a nice one, and she was a cold fish! :biglaugh::biglaugh:
