Mama's 57
I thought I started a thread on this car long ago. may be gone , maybe I just thought I did and didn't. Anyway we'll see what I can do here. I bought this car in 03 for my wife. She wanted a 57 TbirdI told her neither of us had enough $ for that. Then she said she wanted a wagon. I looked all over at wagons I refused to get a 4dr. 4DRs are not cool. Anyway I found this one in southeren IN. In a little town just north of Owensboro KY. some 300miles. I left on friday after work. I got there about 7pm still light out. We loaded it on trailer (no drive train) first time front first couldn't balance load. Then backwards WORSE back to right way. took all spare parts and put them under hood to get more toung weight. Anyway it was better than first time so I took off. Heading north about 1 hr into the trip back it started to rain. Thunder and lighting rain. I stoped for gas and checked the load it was still all there BUT I had no trailer lights. I couldn't ind the problem and I had to get back on the job in the morning. SOOO I drove back roads with my 4ways going. I got home about sunup the rain had stoped and I was beat. these are pictures of the car that morning, and yes I went to work

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
