    We bought the 74 Colony Park in Payette ID on Friday the 19th of Aug, and drove that ole girl to Oregon, then to CA to San Fran and the PCH...(Half Moon Bay), then on to the Grand Canyon (twice West rim and South Rim), then cross country back to DC. We took so many pics on the west side, by the time we got half way across, we just kinda faded into not much picture taking, but she's home now in MD at the shop getting some work done and upgrades from what is mostly original on this ole 460 engine. Great car and comfortable as can be.

    Well gee, Gary, I thought about directing you here from your FB post, but I see I didn't have to!

    Congratulations on that fine station wagon purchase, and welcome to the Station Wagon Forum!

    Welcome aboard, Gary.
    Great looking wagon. What a exciting road trip, too. From the sound of it, the car ran flawlessly.
    The previous owner must have taken excellent care of it.
    Good luck and enjoy it.
