    I just noticed something interesting about this picture. The wheel covers. In 63-64, the full size Fords had 14" wheels. But if you ordered the 427 engine, then you got 15" wheels. The wheel covers used on the 15" wheels were the 1956 Mercury full wheel covers, but with a 1960's Ford style "spinner" center cap. These are very rarely seen wheel covers since I believe they only came on 427 equiped cars. This car looks like it has the factory 15" spinner wheel covers. Am I wrong, or would that indicate a 427 under the hood? I don't see any fender emblems to indicate a high performance engine, but I'm just wondering.
    Then again, maybe the picture is just too fuzzy to tell for sure, and those are early 60's 14" Dodge spinner wheel covers.

    Imagine my surprise when I see that someone posted a black and white photo of my Uncle and his Valient Station wagon, at my Grandparnts Farm.

    Wow! With as many wagon pics as we see in this thread, it was bound to happen that sooner or later some random photo would get posted that featured a wagon and family member of someone here.

    Now if we can just find the owners of all the other wagons in this thread.
