Default Re: junkyard find/ 56 Ford Ranch Wagon

I like the Ranch Wagons with the Customline trim better than the ones with the Fairlane trim. 40+ years ago when I was in high school and working at a local body shop, we had a '56 Ranch Wagon, 223 6 cylinder and 3 on the tree that was our parts chaser. Loved driving that old wagon--it could haul (in more ways than one) and could (and often did when I drove it) bark the tires when you shifted from low to second. If we had known how many miles that thing had on it, we probably would have been afraid to drive it, but it ran and handled great. Would love to have it now.
