Thanks guys - I am entering the wagon in the Ford Nationals in the station wagon category. Not expecting to place, but wanted to do this once for the fun of it, and since there are fewer and fewer examples left, wanted to share with other Ford/Lincoln/Mercury and wagon enthusiasts.
As I have gotten older I can't resist looking at a nice example of any and every kind of car. Can't say I would have 10 years ago.
Times change. If there was a Mustang, a Pinto wagon, and a 57 Chevy at a show I'd go look at the Pinto and I love Mustangs and all 57 Chevys. But got burned out seeing them.
I'm sure your friend would be pleased that you are enjoying the car. Hope you have a good time at the show, incase I forget to say it later.
I agree that a sweet example of any kind of car can get my attention, but I am more apt to look first at the ones that you don't see so many of.
