    Had not been there in a while. Maybe he's on vacation.......

    You can get pretty much the same thing by just going to E-bay and filtering your search to 'wagons'...

    He did have some interesting links to other stuff, too.....

    If I knew what search strings he used - that would be fine. But I don't.

    I don't want to see any old wagon - just those between 1957 and 1964. That's it. And his site was great for that.

    Any idea how to create a search in ebay and limit it to those years?

    I do it all the time... not the most user-friendly search, but the tools are there. You can filter for most anything - year range, body type, engine trans, etc....

    Start the search on the E-Bay Motors page, not the main E-Bay page...

    Not necessarily! Sometimes cars end up listed in the wrong category on eBay, so if you start in eBay Motors you could possibly miss some listings. Better to cast a wider net, and see everything related to the make/model/year you are interested in.

    There is a serious issue with the host. I have two tickets open and calls go directly to voicemail.

    Their search used to be pretty good. Maybe now there is too much crap on there than back in the day. Usually when I do a search for a specific car or parts I get that and also 200 pages of crap like flamed diamond plate floor mats and steering wheel covers.

    The oldstationwagonsforsale.com is/was great because it was quick and easy. I could search through several makes that I was interested in seeing in a few minutes.

    You sure about that? I personally have not even bothered with it for over a year+, basically forgotten about it until this thread came up. Just went to it and yes it 'appears' to be working with pics....but when I clicked the link to Ebay re-the posted on our forum Brady Bunch type Plymouth wagon all I got was "this page no longer exists"...same with every other wagon I clicked on no matter what the make and or brand.

    Dead file IMO, been that way for a Long Time, at least 2 years now for real..... Bummer as it WAS so nice, now no point............

    Site seems to be working fine now........except for a minor glitch with the 'S/W literature for sale' pages.

    Works fine for me. You sure you haven't had ModelT1 working on your computer recently?
