Damn that car is ugly....

I would lose the stickers but I like the wide whites. Why dont you like them?

 

I may retain whitewalls, i havent decided on that...its the radial part that must go!

 

No you don't, Edsel wagons, ****ing rule.

 

Ugly? Bite your tongue.

 

Rob,
I'll look through my travel decals and see if I have any you might like. They're vintage ones I bought from Marcy.
That wagon is bad***! I'd drive it...
BTW-I need 3 large LOT shirts,for my boys. How can I get them from you?

 

you win!

 

Personally, I would leave it just the way it is...and just get rid of the decals that don't belong there. That car is sweet- wheels and all.

 

Steel wheels: cheap.
Replace with a couple hot rod decals:cheaper.
Push bumper PRICELESS. Have fun,Smokey

 

Being an FNG my opinion probably doesn't count for much but............. I like the color combo, not diggin' the wheels and tires at all and I agree with you on the stickers. Ditch the vinyl stickers and get some vintage water slide speed equipment and drag strip decals but just a few and along the bottom of the side windows not covering it.

When I was a pup there was a '60 Starliner that ran around here. Goldenrod Yellow, white interior, 406 with Tri-Power and blackwalls on chrome reverses. Cl***ic American Graffiti style car EXCEPT this was 2 years before AG came out. VERY out of it in 1971 but cool as Hell now, rumor has it he still has the car tucked away EXACTLY like it was back then!

I vote for chrome reverses, REAL chrome reverses not "smoothies" or black steel wheels and spiders. Too much white on the car for wide whites, maybe some one inchers but personally I'd go blackwalls if you ran chrome reverses. JMO.

Oh yeah, I second the push bumper nomination!

 

Other than the stickers I wouldn't change a thing. If you don't like it bring it on back up. I will set it up with one of my ugly trucks.

 

Sounds like you need new friends dude, cuz that wagon is the ***s.

 

Oh yeah, of course it will get a big damn piece of wood for a push bumper....i like the fake astros though...just got back from work and showing off. i love this car.
bob, i am good all week (cept this weekend, chrr) message me and let me know when.

 

i like it

 

I am leaving those things on until I get the YOM plates through dmv, just for the stupid factor

 

Who cares about dependable, you'll look cooler in that than if you drove a lifted truck like everyone else around here. My dad drove the **** out of his 66 biscayne for years, and had less problems than our silverado.

 

you need different friends...
60 fords/mercs/edsels are cool..

 

My wife's having fun with her wagon, and loves the www. yesterday she started on the interior - more pink! I do my own thing, you gotta there will *always* be people who would do it different..i gues this thread proves it.

 

Wrong...but we need to see it (and you) in person. Breakfast, A Tuesday night maybe?

 

I know.....tuesdays are only once a month now though, right?

 

Yes, First Tuesday of every month. We have not seen the Lincoln yet and you spring another car on us??? Also, I want a LOT shirt pls 2x, let me know how much.
Ugly is such a strong word...let's just say she has a wonderful personality..

 

That car is killer and I'd drive it anywhere. Of course I love most all wagons from 1952 to 1972 or so.
It needs skinny white walls with those wheels.

 

Found this picture today while I was looking at some old magazines. I remembered this thread so I scanned the pic for you.

 

WOW!!! You win! That is cool! Thank you.

 

That looks bad ***!!

 

All the 60's longroofs were cool in one way or another. Theres something I like with all of them. Im also a nut for 4 doors.

Be different!!

.

 

I'm building a 60 Merc wagon. I love the look of it and it's hard to beat the hard top roof on a wagon.

 

an, That will be one cool looking tow vehicle. Good find.

thats cool. keep the pics coming when you change it up.

 

Well, i am forced to change tires now......on the way up to the reunion this weekend, i spit an axle out the side and chewed up one of the ugly radials so....dammit, gotta change tires too
