“When my Family was on a vacation in Hawaii back in 1977 we had the Ford version of this wagon finished in an emerald green. It was a tank of a car but did drive nicely and got us around Oahu in comfort. My parents owned a 1973 Ford Thunderbird with the same 460ci V8. I see some of the same or similar interior parts on this wagon as well. Very nice condition Colony Park Wagon for its age!
GLWTA 👍”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

“One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

“I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“Nobody ever accused Gus Godley of being a visionary.
In 1959, Gus was a janitor at Chrysler’s Highland Park headquarters, a long way from Fort Stockton, Texas, where common sense was considered a civic virtue and automobiles were generally expected to resemble automobiles. He swept floors, emptied wastebaskets, and consumed enough Folgers to keep a small freight train running on schedule.
One rainy Tuesday morning, Gus was cleaning the Plymouth Design Studio before the stylists arrived.…”

“I think adding the Buick rally wheels was a great choice, especially with the white wall tires. They spice it up a bit without being obnoxious. I imagine that pulling the car cover over this beast would be quite a workout. For me, the only wagon more desirable than this would be a 1968 Olds Vista Cruiser.”

Joe_Macheck commented on 1993 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon

“A V10 Gated Gallardo is a big 12 year old goal for me to own. 12 year old me used to see the Gallardo all the time before the Huracan existed when I was in high school. No newer V10 baby Lambo can replace the Gallardo for being gated and better looking with age. GLWS on this Rosso Italian beauty.”

“I own an’07 Miata. Nothing goes wrong. Maintenance is inexpensive. It’s a total blast to drive top down. New owner here is gonna be happy with the value he/she gets for the $ spent. These are simply GREAT vehicles. GLWTA”

“Driver & passenger sound like two kids in a candy store – can’t blame them.
Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

Micro912 commented on Paxton-Supercharged 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Race Car

“@68Vet
Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

“Lagoon Green is my new favorite shade of blue.”

NBoost commented on No Reserve: 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

“I owned an ‘85 nearly identical to this. I drove it the way Carroll Shelby intended. I quickly installed the Mopar Performance logic module and after getting the timing dialed in and an AutoMeter boost gauge installed, I was even more ready to “Go Like Hell.” So, one Friday evening in the spring, I was laying down rubber in first and second gear at each stop.
It must have took a while for the officer to catch up from following the squealing Euro T/A’s, as I don’t believe he ever saw…”

CarDogThreePedals commented on 46k-Mile 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T

“Automatics are great – First, generally driven less spiritedly over their lifetime. Second, the automatic is actually very good. My auto on back roads, 2nd gear could go from about 25 mph to 70 mph. Often with a group of other 02s, I would be pushing the car in front of me that was modified. Third, the auto works while you find that 5 speed that is wider than a 4 speed and what else is wider? The tunnel in an automatic. No hammer needed for installation.
My next 02, I will look for an…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“Even as a “Project” this Hispano-Suiza exudes and elegance few cars can match.
I suppose it may be because of my affinity for Packards, but a V-12 (with the exception of that dreadful thing used in the Lincoln Zephyr) always grabs my attention. I hope we will get to see this wonderful car completed.

@Hoppy18 – Reading about this Hispano-Suiza makes for a fine start to a Saturday morning! Thanks for the tag!”

“For prospective buyers, Marcus Anghel is second to none in Mustang restoration. Getting a car that Marcus restored, even only partially like this one, is an honor. He is at the top for Gen-1 Mustang originality and details. Check out his website for an education.
And as others have noted, Gulfstream Aqua is a stunning factory color on this model.
Looking forward to the final price.”

“My first car was a 73 4 door custom. White with black vinyl roof and bondo fenders my Dad did with chicken wire. Slant 6 with an FM converter added that also picked up TV stations. Also had a 70 340 Swinger in HEMI orange for a few years. I have a soft spot for 70’s Darts. GLWTA!”
