    Wagon # 2 Home..Is this a disease..lol

    Well after searching for my first wagon..(87 LTD)
    I came across a 90 Colony Park LS Yesterday..
    Its in my driveway now
    I bought it because it was a great price, and 100% rust free(spent its life in a garage)
    anyway..Not sure about the wood sides
    And which one to keep..
    The 87 is a steely but pretty stripped model,but hasnt given me any problems..
    the 90 is fully loaded, and i like the newer dash..
    One has to go..No room with all my other stuff..
    I might be nuts
    I'll have to figure out how to post pics

    Dude, not to harsh your mellow, but garage storage can actually accelerate rust. It just depends on how much salt gets on it, atmospheric and road conditions, if it gets thorough washings or not etc. Rust is a chemical process, a heated garage can help the rust EAT a car.

    Congrats on your newest baby though!

          I can sympathize with the accumulation problem. I bought one, then bought a winter beater, and still stop/slow down at every one I see parked somewhere. I don't know why, I sure don't need a third. I think it's a disease.

            It sure is! Run-run-run as fast as you can! You buy one Panther wagon, you're hooked! (though I'm going to be seriously enjoying my new sedan once it's running again ...... less rattles out back)

              Sounds like a nice wagon, can't wait to see some pics. It's sounds like it's going to be a tough choice.

              I know what you mean, I have a car (Grand Am) I keep in the garage that gets washed before going in. One time, I guess I had a lot of water in the rear pass. drum and the wheel locked on me. So the tire would just drag until I freed it up.

                They are addictive for sure.

                This is a tough one. I like Colony Park's more than their Ford counter part, but I like 1st Gen's over their facelifted brothers. It comes down to personal taste I think. I guess I'd stick with the '87 if it were me.
