Give me a Description

My dog and my ride. My two best friends.

1960 Mercury Comet STW as it came from California january 2011.

Interior was a mess.

Little bit welding too..

Original 13x4" steelies are now 13x6,5"

Little restauration to steering wheel and dash. Everything works now.

Original 144cid six banger, 2-spd merc-o-matic. Runs very smooth. Heater motor is from '99 vw Polo (cooler fan). Its same two speed motor!

Registration day, as it leaves garage first time in summer 2011

End of summer, Pick-Nick 2011. Big plans ahead.

Rear was already lowered with 2" blocks... Air suspension is the next level.

Had to add little custom touch to old kids tricycle.

Thanks. I just noticed the similarity of our steering wheels and have to say that world just turned really small. :) I took the idea from my friends '56 ford.

Great car! Wonder what that front end would look like on a Falcon Ranchero? Hmm

Thanks! The question is; How often do you see Comet or Falcon here in Finland.. :) Here is one 1960 4dr wagon (mine) and one 1961 2dr wagon. Lots of 60's fullsize GM and Ford wagons. I also had all original #matching 1967 Chrysler Town&Country 10 years ago. I think that grille would fit great on any car :))

Love your wagon buddy! How often do you see a 60's wagon in Finland? If you need help finding parts, let me know. I'm going to be looking for a grille like yours. Think that would look good on a 63 Falcon Wagon?
