Happy 327 Day!

My Country Squire

WTF? You freely admit to having one of those?
Dude, what (little) respect l had is fading!
You drive that thing to Wally World with the fam?

Actually that thing is Gorgeous. ( to my eyes anyway ). Hey I thought Denny was a die hard Chevy guy and hated Fords.

 

[Denny]

Yes, it was white with a brown interior and power everything! But it was a 78. I got it 4 years old. And yes I’m a GM *****!! With a soft spot for Plymouth muscle cars. That wagon got me to hating fords! Couldn’t keep the c6 together. 3.90 rear gear with trak-lok.

 

[panchothedog]

I'm guessing the one in the picture is a 66 or 67. 58 years old? Wow, how time flies. A wagon with a 3:90 rear end certainly is no candidate for gas mileage. Should have something like a 2:73.

Styling for the time was ok, but a station wagon? Mini van of the era.
if yer gonna drive a wagon, get a good one:

Don't still own it, but here is my latest Ford wagon. It's a picture of a picture, and if it's upside down, well you guys know how GOOD I am with this pueter stuff.

I have found if ya rotate the pics B4 ya post ‘em, ya can get em right side up.
look for sumpthin like this:

 

[Denny]

I hope it’s got a Chevy engine in it so it can get out of the garage under its own power.

Good looking car otherwise. Crappy pictures though.

No, it still had its rip roring 95 hp. flathead. So it would be a March 11th, happy
239 ( cubic inches of a 53 flathead ) day. One of my Sons wanted me to put a
302 with a C-4 in it, but I left it original.

 

[panchothedog]

Hack. I will look for that tic tac toe looking thingy that you circled next time I post a picture. That's my biggest problem. I don't know what any of this squiggly sh#t ( icons ) mean.

 

[panchothedog]

Is that your Caddy wagon ?

 

[Denny]

There is no 239. Sorry Pancho.

 

[panchothedog]

Denny, I know you think you know you a lot about cars, and you probably do.
I have owned several flathead V-8 powered fords. 1948 was the last year for the
221 c.i. engine, and from 1949 til 1953 ( the last year of the flathead ) the cubic inches were increased to 239. The Mercs of the same era were 256 inches. So don't give me no " sorry pancho " stuff. Look it up and satisfy yourself.

Is that your Caddy wagon

No, i almost bought one cuz of the cool factor, but bought a coupe instead.
The V series were rated @ 556 Hp

Oh, I know you’re right about that. I was talking about the date! There is no 2/39.

 

[panchothedog]

That is why I called it March 11th. I was following the logic of the post by
Whitetrashrocker referring to the 440 engine as May 10th. I thought the similaritie
was obvious enough. I guess this year being a leap year, it would be March 10th.

 

[Denny]

But that’s cheating!
