What great rides!  I'd give up my Cougar wagon in a heartbeat for one of those.

Out here in SoCal those old Chevy's are called Bombs.  Very sought after.  Way back in the olden days my parents had a 49 fleetline.  They traded up to a 54 Bel Aire station wagon tin woody.

Which brings back old memories.  My mom and us kids were out with mom doing errands and we all piled in the car after coming out of a store on main street.  She was PO'd when it wouldn't start.  There was something wrong as the key wouldn't turn.....Wrong Car!  I don't know why I remember that as I was probably 6 at the time.  Our car was only three cars away.  I'll never forget the look on her face when she realized.  :D

Nice truck, regardless if its chebby powered, which Im no fan of, but that trucks waaaaay to nice to care about the motor.
Doesnt need a stick, needs a built turbo 400 with a 2800-3000 stall converter. Would scoot!

Thanks again fellas for all of these great compliments... but since it is still my (Pop's PU) and him feeling like he's 20yrs old again. I'm just waiting my time out for maybe landing this bad boy in my own driveway somewhere down the line. :headbang:
