Unusual item seen at a local Swap a few years back, rear cut from a 1960 Ford Station Wagon. These were never sold in Australia, so it would have been an imported model.

Question - why are you posting photos here rather than the appropriate forum where every one will see them? This is a test section.

This is the first time I even looked at this section in over 7 years on the Barn

Hi Paul, I post small Pictures on my Test Page. I then post Large Pictures to the appropriate Post. If I bypass adding small pictures and go straight to the Post and add large pictures, they disappear. That is why I keep this Test page open.
In the beginning, I was wondering why my Large Pictures had disappeared when I had added them, so these days, I add a Small Picture to my Test Page, then add a large picture to the Post on the Forum. Since I have been doing this, none of my large pictures have disappeared. thanks for your enquiry. Regards Mercman <><

This car should be "Heritage Listed" it relates to a big part of our motoring history, the golden years of reliability trials.
Just ordered the book......Rod.
