Hello everyone! I figure I should tell you all a little bit about myself. I have been lucky enough to have grown up with a father who has always had a fine taste in cars. Out of the five wagons he currently owns, I plan on taking the B body Chevy caprice known as Ruby. I have big plans for her and I hope you can all help me and in time maybe I will be able to help some of you.

Let me guess who's son this is, especially from South FL?

Welcome, good thing he is giving you one of his, as I doubt there is any room for one of your own!

Yes, well there isn't even room for all of his. The only way to keep them out of the street is to put one of them in the side yard.

I like how you did the grill black and left the letters chrome.

Sharp Ride! Welcome!

Welcome Redbird and I am so happy to see a father passing his love of the "Great Wagons" onto his son.In todays world having a son who shares
your passion for these cars is a rare thing indeed.Please dont take anything too seriously as noone else does.
Take Care

True that. I copied the grille idea from that car, except I painted my letters red to match.

I like the stripe too... a lot. Too bad it doesn't look as good as those pics make it out to be, but no matter - you've got probably one of the coolest people on this forum for a dad. Smile Welcome.

The coolness has rubbed off on Red, too.

Great to see you on the Forum, JT.

Tim thanks to your sig pic he's been here all along (he's in the pic in the chair behind the red Olds, lol). He told me I joined the forum and saw my picture in some guys sig file, ha ha ha

I painted the grille black and then shaved the letters with a razor to get the chrome back.

Roo, this pic was taken right after I did the paint on it about 1.5 years ago and it did look really nice.....until the sun caught up with the clear coat as I'm sure you are aware Smile

Welcome. Is this the first father/son combo on here? If so, congrats! Maybe one day some more of us can have that honor.

Only pic I could dig up was a photo of it on the car in a parking lot a few days after I finished it. I like it, though. I painted it flat black.

My son drives a 78 Chevy Malibu, does that count as a father and son combo? (sadly it's not a wagon)

Hey Dutch Pete thats close enough for me.Anytime you can share an interest with your son in todays world of distractions ,its a great thing!
I am in the process of converting my 80 year old father into a wagon nut.He use to see wagons as a family
necessity and now he starting to see them as a cool part of our past when America was a lot brighter place
to live and raise a family.Maybe because it was a much simpler and innocent time in my past that draws me
to wagons and all the things they remind me of.
