You’re absolutely right, Jeff. These are the cars that make the history of the automobile so interesting to me. After all, everyone had to start somewhere with their car purchases in 1965, and for some this was the affordable and practical option. Our wagons, too, were often the “disposable” cars of the time, not often pampered over the miles like the more high end models. Which makes them even more extraordinary as survivors.

I have (2) ;65 falcon 2 dr wagons….one is exactly like yours and you know what there is nothing wrong with being different….you can’t lose with a 2 dr wagon…..nothing against muscle cars as I love them too but amongst the sea of them that little jewel will always stand out…..my 2 dr wagon is in the bodyshop right now but the owner of the bodyshop is always telling me stories about people popping in and noticing the wagon…..what is even more revealing is that they are so rare in fact parts can be extremely difficult to find if you are keeping it bone stock….so keep that falcon flying high and don’t let others ruin your dreamcar

Glad you like it, Devin. I get mixed reactions from the general public. Many just walk by and think it’s just some grandpa’s old car. While others take a second look and say, “Wow, now that’s an interesting restoration pick!” And the conversation begins.

Appreciate your taste! Love the hot rods myself, but this wagon was one of those anomolies…did not fit into ANY mold. The Ford old-timers tell me it was a rare thing to even find one of these on any car lot in ‘65. If so, it was the one in the back row, needing a cleaning. That’s the very reason I love this ride and restored it to this extent. Very redemtive theme to the whole project.

Thanks for stopping by at the Cure Cruise, Craig, and taking an interest in my wagon. Love your ‘63 more-door-in-progress!
