    Tedy, where did you find this pic?

    This is not your ordinary '60 Ford Country Sedan. Somebody took a '60 Ford Galaxie Town Victoria 4-door hardtop and melded it with the back wagon section from a big Ford '61-'64 wagon section. (The '60 Ford wagons had a unique lift-up tail gate glass, not common with any other year. )

    I had the idea a long time ago to turn a '60 Ford wagon into a hardtop, along these same lines.....

    This picture, I believe, is of the Flxible manufacturing facility. Flxible manufactured busses, Hearses, Ambulances, and Limousines.

    I just found it on a flicker thingy along with my last pictures....and ya know, I didn't pay much attention at the time but I even had a ???? about the wagon. Yes (again) you are correct...... a WTF, Oh how cool that would be if from he factory they melded a GTV with a wagon.

    Krash It looks like the roof line of 60 Merc possibly not a Ford but a car produced outside of US. Rear of 60 Ford but Merc roof line of their 2-door hardtop wagon. To bad no front picture interesting and good eye :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Amazing how the buses have 3/4 of the parking lot with lots of extra room yet the cars are packed tight.

    I couldn't tell from the small picture. I've always wanted to own one of those "buses."

    They're very cool, but apparently they're a b!tch to maintain, let alone find certain parts. Driving one's like driving a Vista-Dome passenger car; you'll instinctively duck every time you go under a bridge.
