[Closed] George Schire, what are you going to do with the stupid

Bob, I keep all extra tops, boots, and other accessories in a bin, each in plastic baggies.

I want to know what he's going to do with the wooden sides when he turns it into a country sedan?

That's a good one David. This wagon is an example of a car that I'm not bidding because

I like it, but rather because it represents part of automotive history.

Similar to my adding the '61 Lincoln to my collection some years back. That Lincoln being a car that I think is totally void of any styling at all, yet it is a complete contrast to the wild looking land yachts of 1958, 59, and 60. Therefore, the Lincoln seems to be important to my collection.

What part of 'automotive history' does this model represent ?

David, a '61Country Sedan was my 1st car in '69. It had some fake 'wood' on it !

Steve, it represents a typical suburban family car that could load up the family for a vacation or a trip to the Dairy Queen. At least that is how I describe I remember the "Country Squire" in the scheme of things. And that is representing history.

It was a car that most men would have chosen not to have, but found it perfect for hauling the family and all their stuff. I mean seriously, I think it's safe to say that if a guy back then had his way, he'd have had the little sporty models, a convertible, or 2-door hardtop.

But the station wagon served him better.

My Dad had a 57 and then a 58 Country Squire until 1960 when I assume he couldn't stand the wagon any longer and gave the 58 to my mom and went out and got himself a black 1960 Mercury Parklane convertible. He traded in the 58 Squire a year later and got my mom a baby blue 61 Mercury Colony Park. The every other year routine continued for a while when he traded the Parklane for a white 62 Continental Convertible. Then she got a 63 and then in 64 on an austerity kick he got a 64 T-bird (he hated it and I liked it). It got traded for a 66 Continental Convertible...well this is why I have my love for Lincolns

Pete, I've never seen the cream/wood wagon. Who made it? Like it!

It’s a repaint of the FM model i did a few months ago in Corinthian white over Desert gold.

Not to pee in your Cheerios...

The white roof was not available with the wood sides. I made that mistake with the green one. Luckily, it was a separate part and the change was not critical, nor did it delay the image.
This being said, your repaint looks awesome!
