The wagon is a BEAST !!
I bought it years ago now from a gentlemen that washed it everytime it came out of his heated garage !!! It currently has 25,000 miles - all I have done to it is belts, hoses and tires. I took the original H70 bias-ply tires off and put them in the garage.... It's actually kinda creepy in a weird sort of way !!

I forgot to ask - does anyone have any pictures of non-commercial vehicles in country or serving on bases around the world from the 1960's?? I remember seeing some Fairlane four door sedans serving in the Air Force during the 1960's and was wondering if anyone had any pics??
Thanks!!

Now come up with a 57 retractable! My dad had a couple 57's a 58 and a couple more 59's.
Does Bill Ford still have any power in the company or he now just a figurehead?

Whats up with the hub caps on that M151A1? They do not look right to me, are they USMC hubs caps or is something missing.

Hard to see but they look like the Marine caps.

Obviously a civilian picture. Hard to see but not Marine caps for sure.
