Must have been cool to own such an classic car. I love these old American beauties. On that great American trip, I've been also to Country Classic Cars in Staunton, IL - it's a dream there.
But I have also some 'sleeping beauties' left from my route 66 trip, I will post them in the days to come. If you have photos of 'Sleeping beauties' (but really sleeping - not restored) feel free to use the tag #sleepingbeauties.
Oh, what beauty! Must be amazing to drive this great classic car.
Are you a veteran? I've been reading a lot about Vietnam, was a boy when it happened, but got very interested in it as a young man, no wonder, it was the time of those great classic movies like Platoon, Hamburger Hill etc.
Yes, Vietnam. Platoon was insulting and Hamburger Hill was only Ok. There's a movie called The Siege of Firebase Gloria that was halfway accurate. My SS 396 is long gone. This is what I drive now...
I noticed and will try to see The Siege of Firebase Gloria, never heard about it before.
I served in our tiny Luxembourgish Army for three years, from '81 till '84 and always admired, and still do, the guys who fought in Vietnam. I never understood how they could have been threatened so unfairly by parts of the civil population after the war.
This is a cool sports car, but I do not see the make or model.
Have a nice day! :)Thank you for taking part in the fun. It was already solved by @oxoboxo. It is a '59 Mercury Commuter wagon.
I didn't know it was a contest. I had a 53 Sunliner with the glass panel in the roof!
