You can de-code the data plate here. I have a couple of old Ford wagons...the Squire framing was real wood around Di-Noc through '53 and into very early production '54, fiberglass after that.
Have fun. |
Thanks GW! I think Mr. Lewis had an "IN" at Ford (his nephew was an engineer at ford
). I've been eyeing this wagon most of my life, so i'm over the roof. It came from the factory with a 352, but had a rebuild at the local Montgomery Wards in 1981(with 21,000 miles. The receipt is in the glove box...i wanna know why the rebuild ?) and they have it being rebuilt as a 390! It doesn't have the jump seats, but is pretty much untouched.
