1966 Mercury Colony Park four door 6 Passenger Wagon

'The Green Mile'

Bought in October , 2000. Car is out of Arizona. About 95% rust free.  Power windows, tailgate window. Dual action door/tailgate rear door. Rare 2 year only ('66/'67) 410 c.i. 'Marauder' V8 engine, which was a 390 with a 428 crank.  Also rare 6 passenger / no luggage rack car.  Chassis has over 250,000 miles on it, But drive train and most major mechanical components have under 20,000. Needs paint and wood, That's about it. Restoration under way. Oh, It is only 18' 3" in length.....3 inches shorter than the two door hardtop version of the same car.

Current pictures of car, Sept, 2003. Tailgate restored, in and out. New dual exhaust with flowmasters, roof and side pillars repainted. Old window tint still on at this point.

November 2003. What was going to be a cookout and a bunch of guys with their cars , turned into a 1/8 mile grass drag strip.  Due to the slippery grass, I was able to beat out much stronger cars that would eat me for lunch on pavement! New 5% window tint all around is noticeable in these pics, including a 10.5" 5% eyebrow. Little did I know that this day would end up costing me a good chunk of change, and be the last time I would drive the car for more than half a year!

 For those who keep their wagons warm and fluffy in a garage all winter, This is how a wagon SHOULD be. Of course, My 62 Falcon gets the warm and fluffy treatment :) These pics were taken on a very 'white Christmas' morning, Dec 25 2002.

1962 Ford Falcon Four Door Wagon 

'Ellie'

My plain-jane wagon. A very low-key car. I am 3rd owner of vehicle. Luggage rack and "Ford-O-Matic' Automatic Transmission was only major upgrades on this car. Is is a factory radio/cigarette delete car, and still has proper delete panels installed. No frills body package, which has 'ford' on the hood, 'Falcon' in the tailgate, and two falcon emblems on the fenders. 170 c.i. I6 engine, 1 barrel carb, 2 Speed automatic transmission. All manual drum brakes, steering, and windows. 'western' interior with steer head upholstery, stock for non-deluxe wagons in '62.

I have done some upgrades to the car since I bought it. I have fitted it with the proper original 'bottle-cap' hubcaps and fresh side and roof paint . Some other things too, Like full exhaust including manifold, Restored valve cover and air cleaner, custom built CD player ,completely hidden and undetectable for show, Custom Falcon script floor mats, N.O.S. Grille , and much more too.  

Summer  2004

At the local Drive-In, "The Suds" , Summer 2004

Nov 30, 2002 I took her out of the garage and went out in some flurrying snow, Put a blanket on the roof, and strapped the old Christmas tree right up there. Beautiful!

Here's my '62 In a print ad for Weber 'Q-Grills', targeted to tailgating and camping etc. An advertising company was turned onto my webpage by a mutual friend, and they "had" to have my car in the ad. Originally, it was supposed to a neat looking beat down, faded red and rusty 40's pick-up. Full add was two sided, and unfolded like a road map. One side showed the Q Grill full size, the other side showed different people and how the 'Did' the Q grill. No, that is not me in the picture. Photos were taken at Northern Illinois University, Home of the Huskies. Funny thing was that they took hundreds of pictures from all angles, and this guy doing all sorts of weird stuff. In the end, they took a very simple shot as the keeper. Funny side not, The empty crushed can, pistachio shells, and tire tracks are all VERY much intentionally placed. No randomness about it. They also didnt like my 'antique' license plate, so they taped a standard Indiana tag over it. They also had me lay down in the front seat and hold the brake pedal so the brake lights were on. Was a quite the adventure.  My two biggest questions were A: Why isn't the Q Grill IN the ad? And B : Where's MY free Q grill? Dang. Oh well, At least I got paid.

1996 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon

"Colossus"

Bought Jan 6th, 2005. A total creampuff. 94,592 miles.  Big as a boat. "Limited collector edition", A no-wood Buick Estate. I hate to use the word 'rare' on a " '96", but I guess having a no-wood Buick is relatively uncommon. LT1 engine, tow package (tow hitch, transmission cooler, Posi-trak rear), power everything, 8 passenger. Beautiful inside and out, rides like its on a cloud.  Plan to keep this for many many years. Pics were taken on a day of frigid temps and freezing rain, not the best timing. Will post brighter pics come spring! The flash makes the interior look plastic-y and bright red....its actually very dark maroon and luxurious (see pics of interior with open gate, they look right).  First row is the near-spotless engine, second row is the dash and the rear seat 'vista' roof. Third row shows the cargo area open, and then with seat folded up (gate also opens sideways like a door). Amazingly, A factory dimension comparison between this and my 66 Mercury wagon (above) shows them nearly identical in every aspect, Length, Width, Cargo Capacity etc.  Actually just a tad bigger in each area! 

These are the pics that look WAY too red!

These show the true interior color!
