Been pretty much a FORD man over the years, and use the red truck for the daily driver now. 68 Galaxie XL 390GT cid, last time I drove it was from Ohio to Wisconsin. Had a 69 headlight assy. hanging on the wall there. Found a 68 roll away headlight system in Kansas for it, working in my spare time to get it back to OEM. Oh yeah it runs. 91 Crown Victoria 302 cid, I know if you have a shed you do have a corner that looks like this. Blew a cylinder head gasket in 06. I will eventually get back to this car and pull the motor and slap some new rings, bearings and seals, and gaskets in, I have them already, just when I get time to get around to it. I've got caster wheels that the car sits on to get them into place, and then block them up to get the weight off the tires. All vechicles do fit in the shed when winter rolls around here. 63 Galaxie 500 Have a nice day

Hi, That is a nice lookin' set of wheels! I also have a Galaxie. Since I make 1962 scenery, it's only fitting that I drive a 1962 car Mine is a 1962 Galaxie 500 XL two door hardtop, bucket seats, console and floor shift. It has a 390, automatic, power steering, power brakes, factory AC. It's all original from 1962, including the paint and interior. I bought it from the original owner, and it only has 71,000 miles on it. It's never been hit or rusted and it's showroom new inside and out. They don't make 'em like that no more ;D The original owner is still alive and doing well at 89. I even have a photo of the car new sitting at the dealership (Alexander Ford in Durham NC) back in April 1962. Mike Attachments:

Hey, does this count? I have a 1966 Ford pickup that has been in the family for 46 years. And still runs great!

My mom had a 1966 Ford F-100 Custom. A very nice truck for it's time.
I have a 2006 Nissan Titan.

Just came back from a vaccation in Madrid, Spain. We had a free entry for the aviation museum. When I first read the description about the museum in our guide book, I thought it was not worth it, as it only mentioned some planes from pre WWII (not my cup of tea) and jets. In spite of the horrible weather and a 1 mile walk through rain along a highway (the museum is part of an airbase out of town) I was proven wrong about my expectations: a KC-97 tanker, a C-54, a C-47 and much more made the trip worth the hassle. _MG_3524 by brn1976, on Flickr
