That's what she said. Whoops! Sorry, my bad. That really is very unique. All the woodies were in their own way, but these were true custom-build by a coach works type shop. I know the name Cantrell, but there were others. Most of the GM Truck based ones I've seen were built by them.

Did someone ask, "Where's the beef?"

Hope she never sees this thread.

BTW, that Diamond T is awesome!

Best dog I ever had was an irish setter. I've had two wagons I drove and enjoyed. I had a 72 Vega GT wagon that I swapped to a 327. I enjoyed that car, quick and fun. The second one was a 71 Vista Cruiser. I got it with scattered 455 2bbl. My buddies dad ran a wrecking yard. He gave me a engine that had been on the shelf since 71. It was a 455 out of a 70 442 with low mileage. Holy cow that car ran great and was a ball. It ran a 13.10 consistently in the 1/4. Great grocery getter!!! I wish I could find the pics of both of them.

Very cool. Oh I dunno, I'm not sure she wouldn't like that picture show. Pretty cool look if you ask me. Ahead of her time!

Always liked the Irish Setters, too. Many friends had them. I've had two Golden Retrievers, then the last one I got from the pound and his whole life we thought he was an exceptionally nice looking Brittany Spaniel... more boxy head, larger frame, beautiful feathering. More recently I was looking at dog pictures and came to realize he was a fairly rare breed... Red & White Setter. He was the best dog and I want another.

How about a Marmon-Herrington Ford car woody wagon?

Those almost look like a bus....LOL

CG · 02-03-2019, 09:40 AM

Somewhere I have a picture of two cars my folks had at the same time. A ginormous Chrysler wagon, thought it was dumb back then, but would love to have it now. And a Ranchero, not remembering the year right off the top of my head, I think it was the Starsky and Hutch style. It was white with I think red or orange stripe in the indent.

I can post the picture in two threads killing two birds with one picture.

The woodies are beautiful!

I always loved those big Chrysler wagons. Very sleek looking.

**special-K** · 02-04-2019, 09:22 AM

A friend had a Fury wagon from that era, I think 440 power. He called it "The Limo". A bunch of guys piled into that thing resulted in a fun time w/o fail!

**Boog** · 02-04-2019, 01:22 PM

What is that thing in the last pic Tim? It looks sort of like a polywog or some dern fish.
