    Update from my intro. As of today the 68 country sedan is driving like a champ. I just completed a tune up that consisted of new starter solenoid, battery, oil+filter, trans fluid+filter, radiator flush, thermostat, air filter, new cap+rotor, and bypassed the heater core. Once completed I took her out for a cruise in our beautiful wine country and snapped a few pictures. Not bad considering six days ago she wasn’t running at all.

    Very cool wagon! I might suggest a hideaway headlight grill from a '68 LTD! I just sold 1 i've had in my garage for 20 years and always wanted to put it in a wagon

    Don't usually like the liitle hubcaps and black walls but yours looks nice. Reminds me of a sleeper big block.

    Yeah, my wife wants to powdercoat the steelies, to break up the "black" look. I'm fine with that, as long as she dosent choose pink. I would also like to add the small 1" white wall. I believe that is period correct.

    Maybe 2" white walls.
    Pink is sooooo sexy. I had a pink 49 Ford once.
