Talking WEEKEND PROJECTS...

...ANYONE
As I think of all the shows/events I've attended I can say I have never seen a '67 SAFARI WAGON.
If one was to be had in "project" condition I would think it almost impossible to replace any missing side panel trim.

I started going back through this thread to see if they used the fenders fins on a Lemans wagon. Then it occurred to me that we are talking about Tempest wagons only. As they didn't make a Lemans wagon.

Man, ya learn something new every day.

It took me a little time, but I found it. I know this was at Carlisle, and the date on the photos is 4/24/10, so it was Spring Carlisle. It was a 326 powered car...

Is it just me or does the woodgrain make the car look a lot longer.

Rex, it does look longer... tho it's just an optical delusion.

Cuz, that was the truth. In southern central NY [Otsego and Delaware counties where we were] back then there weren't any 4 lane highways like today. Most of the roads we rode on were 2 lane back roads, and most of them were dirt roads. Even meeting a car on the main roads was a scarry proposition. Especailly at night with no shoulders, and cars running with headlights only. Remember, back then parking lights weren't on with the headlights. One headlight out made ya real nervous.
