    Oh no! We had dropped the insurance on the pickup, my car is a Merc Milan and my wife has a Fusion (Ford should LOVE us!), how would we get a tree home and save Christmas?

    Happily, the roads were dry, the sun came out, and the wagon was ready to roll! We didn't need Rudolf to guide us to the "U-Cut" Christmas tree farm nearby, and in short order we had a beautiful tree tied to the roof rack, and were on the way home.

    Now Santa will find us, and I can make out my Christmas list for Diamond T stuff...

    good move....and I'll bet there are a few dozen phone pics of you heading through traffic with that tree on top. Your tin indian is even the right color.

    All hail the Tin Injun for coming to your rescue......Ford may love you, but Pontiac certainly came thru.

    I still LOVE that wagon, gah.

    Very nice. My wife, daughter, and I picked up our tree this year in my 56 Chevy 4100 dumper. Merry Christmas!

    super cool, tell folks you use the wood from the trees after Christmas to add more wood to the car......the looks you'll get !:p
     
  15. Sweet wagon! Nice to see someone's hobby car actually out in something other than a perfect sunshiny Summer day! The pics with the tree on it are cool as hell - maybe make that your December page on your personal 2011 calendar???
