I have to say that wagons are a favorite. They are rare when new and even more rare when restored on the show circuit. I want to thank you for taking the time and effort to salvage one that was in pretty bad shape, making new and whole again. I grew up in a 1956 Ford wagon, it was our family car from the time I was 4 years old until I entered High School. It went many miles, saw many adventures including getting swamped at Cape Hatteras, NC during a huge Hurricane that cut the Island in half. But it made it home safe and sound. It was a great that left me with wonderful memories. I used to stand on the rear hump of this two door wagon, looking over the front seat when my father was driving. I asked him one day what happened when the odometer went past 99999 - he said the car would blow up. being a junk yard junkie, I waited in anticipation for that day to arrive, expecting a huge fireball - but he sold the car with about 86,000 miles on it when we moved to Los Angeles. I wish I had that car ! Chris Breeze |

| Comments: | HI! I was looking for a '56 ford Parklane wagon like my Mom and Dad had when I was born. My Mom said they could have purchased a '56 T-Bird for the same price. But for newlyweds looking to start a family in a couple years, the Parklane was more economical for them. (My Mom still drools over her '56 T-Birds when she sees them on the road.) They had their wagon for 10 years. It was Dark Green over Seafoam Green. Does anyone have one they would like to part with? I'd prefer a fixer-upper for my boys to work on. |

| Comments: | Hey Great Site! I really enjoyed your site, and have to complement you on what really appears to be a first rate restoration. I am almost done rebuilding a 67 Mustang convertable of my brothers that should have never been started. Wow what a job, but it will be a real nice job when finished. I have a 56 Country Squire that is about where you were 5 years ago. It is the 292/fordomatic, black with the fiesta red/white interior. Your links and supplier contacts will be a great help to me. Keep up the photos!

| Comments: | I really enjoyed your piece. I grew up in a family that had ford wagons from 49 thru 59. Our 56 was a robins egg blue Country Squire. I am now in the process of possibly buying a 56 tudor Parklane wagon I saw in Hemmings. The car is in Northern California not too far from me. It looks really nice. He's asking $25K. I think that's a bit high don't you? Where are you located? Mark Klein 227 7th st. Pacific Grove, Ca. |

| Comments: | My hat is off to you, I share your love and fascination
for old, abandoned or used up cars, am working on a '76 MGB, not a great or accepted MG, but I found it and it needs help. Can remember my Dad bringing home a brand new '56 Ford two door "cheap as possible" sedan. Dad was a mailman, not much money. Uncle Jerry was single, more money, got the '56 with chrome window trim and side spears. Keep the Faith! M. King mking59@dellepro.com |

Great page! Brings back memories of a 56 Crown Vic I had way back. I sold it back in 1965 just before leaving for VietNam, wish I Still had it. I know first hand how much work goes into a restoration, having done a few myself. It is a labor of Love! Enjoy your ride, looks great! |

| Comments: | That is a beautiful car you have there, it's giving me hope
and inspiration to start up with my '56 Country Sedan. The "before" pictures look almost identical to the condition that mine is in right now. The only difference is I don't have as many holes in the floor pan, and the trim is a little different. Great pictures, thanks! |

Just here revisiting your site, seeing details I missed the last time I came thru. You're looking good at the Az. car shows. Now that my new "final assembly" garage is weatherproof there will be more quality time to devote to my projects. My daughters "65 Falcon Sprint is in there as we are clearing up the last of the electrical glitches, then the Parklane will get the attention. Adios amigo. Arth Keith |

| Comments: | Hi Roy,
Got your E-mail. Your wagon looks great. I've always been into old Rods & Customs but bought my 56 Country Sedan as a driver to deliver artwork. My fiancee is an artist and we wanted something a little different as a delivery vehicle but it would be really easy to get carried away restoring it. We're doing an art show in Tucson this weekend. Maybe we can get a look at your wagon. George |

| Comments: | Roy, it looks like you're having fun with the Ford. These old cars are a great way to meet people and have a good time. The shows are what really makes the work worth while. Between the rain storms that have been with us all summer, I got in a few shows. The high points are, in the last two shows I finally managed to beat a car that has been kicking my tail every time he showed up for the past 10 years. (It's a friendly rivalry.) I also pulled a best of show trophy for the second time.
Have fun with your car and take good care of it! |
