Wagons in vintage Street scenes

coolness factor squared

If your wagon is going to be a "trailer queen", this is the trailer for it... And,they're color matched...

 

Just think, they used to be able to transport cars right out in the open. Some probably sat for days and weeks out in the country and never had missing parts, damage, or graffiti. Where did this world go wrong?

 

That truck model with the Mercury commuter inside - I'm on a model forum where the builder posted his work on it. He actually painted the trailer with the Mercury model already mounted inside it.

Here's the build on the Mercury:

Now that is epic cool!

In what was most likely one of those, see what I only wanted to see moments, I thought that was a real wagon and truck. That they're "just only models" does not take away from the impact of the visual. Those are excellent work, especially for being "just only models". Now, yes, it would've been nicer if they'd been a real wagon and truck. Knowing that they were out there somewhere, waiting for me to win the Powerball and snatch them up at an R&M Auction, would've given my life purpose and meaning, but having seen them and knowing that someone else out there enjoys wagons(and nice old trucks)as much as I do, is just as nice a feeling.

 

The original 1:1 trailer was built to transport the Mercury XM Turnpike Cruiser coupe which was a one-off factory experimental model.

 

I kinda thought.......until I looked again your original post was the real deal.......then KK posted the model

So now that we have a real pic......Why was a Mercury being hauled around by a Ford????????
.....Mercury did make dem dare trucks!?!

 

Pictures of wagons

I like the vintage wagon pictures
We have been working on our
1968 Plymouth Sport Suburban
We now have it ready for the road

 

My '73 Gran Torino wagon at Disney World in 1977. 2 of my brothers in the first picture and my dad and 1 brother in the second picture.

Great photos! But where are YOU?

 

I traded a black 1965 Mustang fastback on a red 1972 Gran Torino 2-dr wagon. I still miss that wagon more than many other cars I've owned.
