Nice fur accents, complete with big foot go pedal. I have never heard of that model, kind of neat in its own unique way. And that wagon, why can i not find cars like that sitting here in Ontario.

 In Ontario you are about thirty years too late to find stuff like this. In the sixties people traded cars about every three or four years because cars didnt last. A ten or fifteen year old car in Ontario in good shape was an anomaly, cars had severe rust including the frame by the time they were eight or ten years old. I grew up in southern Ontario and when in high school one of the students drove his parents old 1965 Ford Galaxie. Coming to school one day the one side of the rear bumper came loose and dropped down. The frame rail was totally rusted through and the rear body mount pulled out of the trunk and let the bumper drop, this was in 1973! It was public outcry that resulted in federal rust through warranties and factory rust prevention practices such as galvanized metal in rust prone areas.

I never understood why guys wouldn't get their yard cars up on some kind of crude non sinking stands or blocking. At least high enough to allow some air under the cars. Even some old logs or the like would work.
