Does anyone have or know where to find the dimensions of a 66 Mercury Colony Park. For the life of me I cannot find them anywhere on the web. So other than LONG, WIDE and BIG, I kind of need some exact dimensions to see how I'm going to fit it in my garage (or not).
...tape measure, maybe drive it in the garage and see if the door closes Not trying to sound smart @ss
216.5" long x 79.6" wide. A little late to be trying to figure out if it will fit in your garage, isn't it? Dimensions are from "Ford: Presenting the Family of Fine Cars for 1966" factory brochure (probably literature that was sent to stock holders).
Thanks Jim. That's hugely helpful. And of course I am always doing things backwards around here. But I figured if it didn't fit it could always be in the driveway.
I've got the original owner's manual and dealer brochure for my 1965 Commuter! It's at our Hot Rod Shop. If you need more details, PM me and I'll bring the books home.
Frankenrodz, Waltham, MA ? I've got Mopar buddies in Waltham. And thats where my Belvedere wagon is now. I'm guessing you cruise the Rileys Roast Beef cruise in, and as I recall, theres another larger cruise in at an ice cream place in another nearby town. I have heard the shows haven't started there yet as theres still salt left over on the roads. Somehow I'm kind of surprised to hear that theres a rod shop in Waltham. Jim
Small World! I live in Waltham, but our shop is in Natick. Kinda nondescript, like most of us in Mass. It's just under 4k s.f. heated facility where we do custom work and also store vehicles for people. I'm also an active member on the LX Forum, which is newer Mopar. The wife drives and '07 Dodge Magnum. We store a new Challenger for a guy that works in Afghanastan. Riley's isn't what it used to be. Surrounding lots restrict the overflow. The new big thing for the past few years is the Bass Pro Shop gathering every other Thursday nite at the N.E. Patriots stadium. That averages 1,400 cars a nite from Ma, RI, CT. Salt is gone off the roads. I actually drove my wagon, and 2-other Hot Rods in to the Boston World of Wheels 2-weeks ago to exhibit. Give me a shout next time you're in the area, and you can check out our Shop. I work every Saturday there, currentlly resto-modding a '41 Plymouth Woodie Wagon for a client.
Thanks for the invite. My buddy in Waltham who is storing the car for me, will be bringing my wagon to Virginia, so I have no plans for going to Waltham any time soon. I bought the wagon from a fellow member of the Station Wagon Forum who lives in Natick. Now that he no longer has a wagon, I doubt the guy I bought the wagon from still visits the forum.
