Re: The forgotten 1960 Fords
Dad traded the family 1954 Ford wagon in on a new 1960 powder blue Country Squire 4 door wagon. He never bought a car for himself with anything but the full size V8 engine. In this case it was the 352. There were 9 of us in the family (including Mom and Dad) so the rear third seat was very necessary. I remember Dad cutting out (or perhaps he bought them already cut to size) the shape of the taillight lens from Scotch red reflective tape, and sticking them to the lower part of the bumper in that recess. This was pretty much the extent of his customizing skills.....a family of 7 children didn't leave anything in the budget for any Barris modifications. All I really wanted was a convertible and we ended up with a hauler......
