How Many Wagons Have You Had?

I still have one of my my first wagons, an official Plain Dealer newspaper delivery wagon, a full old newspaper wide by two long, solid wood with the best wheel bearings ever.



1965 Plymouth Fury III
1966 Buick Special
1955 Ford Ranch Wagon, I had that when I got married 31 years ago...tomorrow??! I'm in trouble.
1984 Subaru
1990 Subaru
1971 Vista Cruiser
1992 Olds Custom Cruiser

A few others that weren't tatally mine and three times as many trunked vehicles at least.

I have to go find a nice fake Samurai sword display set at the flea market today, women like those for wedding anniversary presents don't they??
I took her to Tom Sawyer's cave in Hannibal MO for our 30th, no kidding.

 

22 wagons and counting

If I don't count the 9 VW vans and one Mitsubishi van, I have had 22 station wagons. There are photos of most on my website. I also have a page of wagon photos that I didn't own, including Corvette, Ferrari and Mustang wagons! www.rvharvey.com/carstuff.htm/

Presently driving a '94 Roadmaster Estate. All I want for Christmas is another wagon! Ralph

 

Past wagons:
1970 Ford LTD Country Squire (blue, 351W)
1971 Ford LTD Country Squire (yellow, 400)
1971 Ford Torino Squire (white, 351C)
1970 Ford LTD Country Squire (white, 429 2V)
1964 Ford Falcon Squire (black, 200)
1975 Ford Pinto Squire (green, 2800 V6)
1975 Ford LTD Country Squire (white, 400)
1976 Ford Gran Torino Squire (silver, 351M)
1979 Ford Pinto Squire (cream?, 2300)
1986 Pontiac 6000 (black, 2.8 V6)

Each of these did duty as a daily driver, except the white '70 Country Squire (429), which, ironically, is the only one totaled in a collision. The rest were lost to rust or catastrophic (financially speaking) mechanical failure.

I miss each and every one of them.


Current wagons:
1968 Ford LTD Country Squire (black, 390)
1970 Ford LTD Country Squire (red, 390)

1973 AMC Ambassador Brougham (white, 360)
1975 Ford LTD Country Squire (yellow, 460)
1975 Ford Gran Torino Squire (chestnut, 400)
1976 Mercury Marquis Colony Park (black, 460)
1976 Mercury Montego MX Villager (white, 400)
1976 Mercury Bobcat Villager (blue, 2800 V6)
1977 Ford Pinto Squire (white, 2300)
1985 Ford LTD Country Squire (black, 302)
1993 Buick Century Custom (silver, 3300 V6)
1997 Ford Escort LX (silver, 2.0)

My Custom Cruiser, the wife's choptop delivery Cutlass Cruiser(forsale), the 92 audi(may get scrapped or sold), 96 Subaru(may sell to get an AMC Eagle wagon), 88 Buick Hearse(Sarah's car), 93 Volvo 940 Turbo(wife's new DD replacing the audi). But I have also had an 83 Chevy Malibu, an 88 Custom Cruiser, 98 Volvo V70XC( now deceased).

 

To many that I lost count. Most met the evil fate but here are the drivers I have bought, drove and sold

1976 Caprice Estate 6 passenger, white with woodgrain WITH factory roof mounted storage device. It even has the GM logo made into it. The only one I have ever seen except for in the brochures

1976 Pontiac Grand Safari, six passenger, cloth interior, full power options. Remains completely stock wwith original paint, does have mags but thats it

1975 Chevy Impala Wagon with 37,000 original miles. It was donated to a church in California and I bought it from the church. Nice car but the old lady hit her garage numerous times with the right side scrapping, sscratching and denting it. But, its still nice and wears the original paint. Blue with black plain jane interior

1975 Pontiac, plain jane been repainted but a California car none the less. I have owned all these but sold them all to friends who share the same passion as I do, 71-76 Gm wagons

Currently have my 74 Buick Estate wagon with 51,000 original miles. For some reason I cannot find my 9 passenger wagon I want. Hopefully I can cruise the Buick this summer and find the Caprice Estate 9 passenger I want. If not, oh well. The Buick is clean and very rare so it might hang around for awhile

 

1968 plymouth sport suburban
stock 1977 volare
1980 dodge aspen w/360 cop car HP motor headers, cam, etc.

 

**UPDATE**

Currently have a deal in progress to trade Old Rusty for another Eagle wagon. Still undergoing repairs at this time. Have A LOT more faith in this person than the one that has my '86 (STILL).
