I "thought" that I had posted these pix previously - possibly forum 1.0(?)
Our family started with Ford wagons in 1963... and at age 87 my Mom is still driving one today. They were typically bought new and driven until they were fully worn out
"Our" wagon is now a white E250.
I can't find a good photo of the '63, but have this one of Dad loading it up for a trip (about 1970). This car was fully loaded (not)... uh, it had an AM radio, the smallest I-6 (200 cu-in?), 3-on-the-tree, and rubber mats. Wimbledon white(?)
Next up was a '72 Torino. This one had an automatic trans and A/C
pretty sure it was still rubber floor. IIRC, the photo is the day that I got my driver's license (Jan '73).
Oh, and now I see our neighbor's Country Squire is in the background as well.
