Steve
way to many times, and many others have hit there head on that as well.I seen many people in car shows cause after getting creamed in the back of the head someday someone will make a glove like cover to go over that n put lots of cushioning like a boxing glove to absorb the blow.I have driven this car to high school when i 1st got it  nad i am so far the only known person to have own their 1st car still to this day.Our class of 1992 was also known to be the last class to own musclecars, after we left we heard it started becomming like beverly hills 90210 total shame i tell ya.

thanks
pat
p.s. i plan on taking this to my 20th anniversary high school reunion  completed once i get it restored in a couple of years.

Hmm, my family car is the 1991 R3500 Crew Cab and the 1990 Suburban.  The Jimmy that I am currently working on will be another family vehicle.

Of course my wife drives a 01 Grand Prix SE...

This is the only car we have that we drive. All original, less than 60,000 miles.

Is that  Wayfarer?  NICE car!  I love some of those late 40's, early 50's Mopars...my next "car" will be one of those...already have the Desoto Hemi for it.  :)

Yes, it is a 50 Dodge Wayfarer. Was in a garage from 58 to 1990 when a friend of mine bought it. I bought it in 04. I has had the tires changed, carb rebuilt, and a wax. Original paint, motor, interior. 59,230 miles. Still has the 1958 inspection sticker on it. Drives like a dream, radio works, just take a little time for the tubes to warm up.

Nice Rebel. I saw that in the pics of your truck. I was thinking it was an AMC or Dodge of some sort.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Not proud of the car, just that it makes sense.  I get super deals on our company leased cars.  I usually buy the one I get new and have driven every mile in it.  I know it has been taken care of, usually sell it in 2 years, give someone else an excellent deal and more often than not drive it for free the 2 years I have it.

Yup, it has been called every imaginable make ever. Some people will argue about it too lol. Bought her for $400 in the shape it is now back in 1999. 42k original miles.
