Our '59 Ford Ranch Wagon [ATTACH]
I have a 223 in my 59 Ranch Wagon and I get around 10-12 mpg. Something may be wrong - but it runs good and has power.
Here's a pic of my former 65 Sub
Sorry to hear that, will keep a look out.
Never thought of 59 Fords until I got one. It's been great. Canadian built? Is it a six with dual exhausts?
Hei! Welcome to the HAMB. Nice work on the Vega. How many Vegas have you seen in Norway? I lived in Oslo and my family was from Baskerud. I now...
I noticed the triangle shaped wind wings didn't do much on my 65 Suburban but the rectangle wings on the Ford with the wrap around windshield...
I've had several 3 on the trees on different cars and trucks and like it. As the shifter rods, forks and levers wear out, a lot of folks changed...
...there might even be a two speed rear end available, to get going. I noticed it has Washington exempt plates, can you keep that registration?
Dav! Welcome! Your Ford police car reminds me of the television program Streets of San Francisco. Greetings from KalifornJA! iveR

nice project! Welcome from Kalifornja
DAV! Traveled through DK and speak & read a bit. Welcome to HAMB and sounds like a great project.

Welcome from California!
Great thread and car! I remember guys doing all kinds of modifications... then new laws and codes about lights, bumpers, wheels, tires, heights,...
Welcome from Long Beach!
...check out that snorkel air cleaner on my 223!
I think that icebox with beer would be great at the tailgate bar.
Great pics. I think some junk yards were born where folks started to drop off their old cars. My dad in the late 40s left his 37 Cad at a junk...
Meget fint! Its a good thing you didn't have a plate from Ohio or Iowa, it would have been too short/small.
Saw this post, sorry about the theft and will keep my eyes peeled. This post as well as HAMB has been great. I saw the link to the shop in IL and...
Awesome Fordsels/Edsords!
nice, I look forward to your work on the Estate wagon...
Great pics. My dad worked for REO Motors in Milwaukee, then Denver in the late 40s-50s. Diamond T was one of the brands they serviced as well as...
