I'm watching you guys from Europe .. Stay blessed, very nice to see you guys can bring back to running life such lovely old classics that could be lost forever eaten by time / rust neglected some-where.. My son and i really like classic cars specially since we don't see many of them today on road most are in private collections, museums or left in junkyards or barns waiting for someone to rescue them.. We would definitely watch a part 2 of washing & polishing this slick "Mercury Commuter" wagon..
Keep doing good stuff nice interesting content, have faith, be strong and long live all of you people.. tank you !
Do you Stella have the wagon
@@poplaurentiu4148 The days of the gasoline engine are numbered in Europe and around the world, petroleum products will hit sky high prices, the E U will band them , Merkel.
@@edwardalamo2507 The dead line for ice is starting from 2030 according to UE council but do you really think people will not drive they'r old ice cars ? so the banning is for factories to not produce them anymore, but remember this : as long as people will pay taxes they can drive whatever they have no matter what.. in Europe there is a taxation system according to the level of pollution of each car mentioned after each MoT inspection but what if after the 2030 someone want to drive thru Europe in vacancy ? as long as it will pay a tax-fee according to the level of pollution of it's car everything is ok.. only when they will not pay is a violation and police will add another ticket to the pollution tax.. anyway until then Hybrid cars are still allowed and cars running with alternative bio-fuel (ICE +LPG).. But anyway.. try bann those massive oil-ships burning smokers polluting the oceans waters by spilling oil into sea killing whales, penguins, pelicans & other sea creatures, try bann the old gas-guzzler trucks and tires factories across Europe that are polluting by removing the filters in the weekends to produce more tires, ohh and let's not forget the mining companies which are the worst polluters ok ? those are much bigger concern than cars..
Love wagons a lot of good memories
I love wagons. Not because everyone one else likes them. We always had wagons in our family. My dad had a 56 Plymouth wagon when he and my mom built our house. We've had a 65 Pontiac Catalina Safari, 70 Ford Ranch Wagon, 68 Chevelle Concours Wagon , 80 Dodge Monaco Wagon and an 83 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon. So yeah, I love wagons. Good luck and take care of that RARE piece.
My uncle had one in the 70's, and they traveled all over the country in it, it was super comfortable for 4 people. It just floated down the road, row down the back winda, open the front wing window. instant air con.
My dad almost gave me his 1977 Dodge royal Monaco station wagon . It can carry 8 people and if i took it to school, all my friends wants a ride in it. I called it the magic school bus. Great memories. This car the way the split rumble seat in the back is set up, its a rare feature with 2 seats instead of 1 seat.
Hi , I am 🌹 Rose. from ALTON, ILLINOIS, I am 78 years old, and I watch you guys as much as I can. I LOVE MECHANICS, and I have all of my life. My son lives in Dallas, although I HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD FROM HIM IN OVER 14 YEARS. I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT THEIR PROBLEM IS. I ALSO HAVE 3 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN THERE IN TEXAS THAT I HAVE NEVER LAID EYES ON, and THAT HURTS..I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOU GUYS PULLING ALL OF THOSE VEHICLES OUT OF THE WOODS AFTER 50 PUUS YEARS, DISASSEMBLE THEM AND PUTTING THEM BACK TOGETHER,AND SEEING THEM FINALLY START AGAIN.
LOVE YOU GUYS AND WATCHING. YOU AT YOUR WORK.
What does the "R" stand for no the back of your shirt. I love your shirt.
@@rosemiller7245 Hi Rose. Jay from Maine! I find it hard to believe nobody responded to you. I believe the "R" is for restored and that word alone can mean many things. You were 78 when you wrote that message and hopefully two years later you see my response. Hopefully your family has reconnected since and I'm sure at the time it was hurting. Families can be hard to deal with...I know. Wyatt and his family are amazing people. Having Christian in the mix is great. Keep on keepin' on!
My Papaw and Mamaw had a 1962 Mercury 2 door, with a 292 V-8 in it as their daily driver in the mid-late 80's. His other ride at that time was a 1969 Ford van short wheel base with an inline 6 and 3 on the tree. I learned to drive a column shift in that van. I was so little that i had to literally stand on the non power brake pedal to make it stop. Lol. I was just only 4 or 5 years old but remember riding 30 miles each way to town and back for them to get groceries in that Mercury. I would stretch out in that long, light blue, vinyl back seat and sleep on the way home. I can still smell the inside of that car, and that vinyl seat i was layin down on. Great memories!
beautiful Van my dad had a 1965 Ford Econoline we traveled in that everywhere when kids I miss those days. For sure Vehicles are our memory keepers
So well said i feel like that memory could be my own.
Thanks for sharing.
Wash them from my couch here in Vegas in my box of shorts
I don’t think it’s a good idea you guys touch a Volkswagen
This is what I call making America great...restoring what makes America America! and that is preserving its history. Not politics. Sweeeeet ride.
yup
@allan thomas we are trying to stop that here in United States. We can not allow our government to continue to think they have the power. The American People need to stand up and take it back.
I had a model of one of these as a kid, and I loved this design. Always wanted one. You guys are SO LUCKY to have one to restore!!!
running yes, but restoring this car takes another three years and approx thirty thousand dollars
i agree
We had one when I was a kid. Loved the rear seats! I would love to have one now! Patch it, buff it, and drive it!!
What a wonderful find. I love the station wagon. I wish they still made them. I have fond memories of riding in the back and playing games with my brother while traveling in the family wagon.
The fold-down seats in the back were part of a trim-level version. Which later on became called a 9-passenger. Our wagon wasn't a 9-passenger. So we had a big "playpen" back there to horse around and play. Such great fun looking out the back window waving at the drivers following us on the interstate.
I 🎉😊
We are in lockdown here in the uk so can’t go anywhere and watching you live makes my day a little easier being disabled and having mental health issues helps me get through the day so thank you guys
Hope that life has gotten back to some kind of normalcy for you guys in the UK
I enjoy your programme its nice and progrssive innovation of technogy and environmental improvement. Thank you.
My dad always had Mercury's. His first was a 1950 and his last was a 1997 Mercury Sable station wagon. We had a '67 Mercury Montclair sedan when I was little and I think it was his favorite as he always talked about it. I sure wish he was still around to see this, he would have enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it!
I'm 62YR'S old now my granddad gave me his 1967 Colony Park station wagon when I was 14 yrs. It ran great he bought a new vehicle and I pestered the hell out of him until he gave it to me, I used to race it around a field until I rolled it on it's side and tore it all up those were the best times in my life.Mine had a 390 in it.Thanks Grandad for all the fun and thanks for the video to spark those great memories.
Awesome job getting this great old Mercury going! We had a 1966 Mercury Montclair that this front end looked very much like. Thanks for bringing a smile back to my old face. God bless you all.
I am watching after the fact because I found this too late. This has been great so far and I’m over an hour in and I’m amazed that you folks do not swear at all. I am impressed!
Might be my most favorite car you have done. I hope to see more of this car! Long live long roofs!!
My dad had one when I was growing up. Went across country in it. Set up a bed in the way back so we kids could sleep. We had several Ford wagons that had the seats back there also. Common for Ford wagons to have the seats.
Love your show!
I absolutely love this wagon. The two opposed rear side seats were a Ford thing and really cool. First time I ever saw it I believe was an LTD or Country Squire wagon.
I remember the 60s and the 70s when everyone on the block had a station wagon. My God those were the days.
Denise yup there's that god thing again "poor USA"
We need to see more on this old girl. She should become the shop wagon/parts chaser... So want to see a video on her beimg cleaned front to back
Nice wagon! Especially since the frame and the floors being so good. I've had so many wagons in my life all the way from the time I was 14 years old!🙂
Love that old merc...I am a Galaxie man but love the full sized ford's lincolns and mercury cars...can't wait to see it cleaned and running strong can't believe the carb was that clean
Wagons are making a come back, if you can find one. Boy were and your dad were lucky to find this one in great shape. I would keep it stock fix up the interior to where it looks nice fix the back window. Shine her up, hook an trailer on the back, and take the family on a great two week vacation some where. I grew up in the fifties and sixties and we had a 1959 Ford 4 station wagon. Those are my family memories....
Colony Parks werre great wagons
@@Hobodeluxe007 You are right Jim. Colony Parks is a great station wagon. All the wagons were great in the 50's, 60's and some in the 70's. Wagons were my favorite cars.
GM press conference, we are going all electric power vehicles, Biden's New Green Deal will ban production of gasoline engines thats the future.
I love the Mercury wagon, and this Christmas you could put a pine tree on top and look like the Griswold’s 😁
That motor is one of the Best
This is my first time watching you all I love 💘 those cars from the 50's & 60's and the 70s those were cars ,tough, they were a lot better than the cars we have today, it's interesting what you guys are doing, hope it's starts, thanks guys
I'll bet Clark Griswold is grinning to see you guys showing some love to his station wagon.
I remember sitting backwards makin faces at the cars behind us. Love the vids. Keep them coming. Blessed.
Keep it Stock!!!!!! Like what you mentioned!!!!! Some Old school New Rims.....Fresh Rubber.
Wagons always look good with steelies or custom but definitely no hub caps
@@bradzimmerman3171 No, keep the hubcaps and keep it original. No dicky mods!
@@linmal2242 I hate when people mod classics! I guess we all have different tastes!
@@albertochuajr.8431 Hi?
Most talkative I've heard Lance ever..... great to hear everyone contributing in the family so much :-)
I have a 2005 Mercury Grand Mar. A great car. Have always loved the Mercury. Wish I could find a 60s or older Mercury. Love your show.👍👍👍👍👍
I grew up in a "65" Mercury commuter wagon. the flip up back seats were stock.
Long before there were SUVs, there was the family station wagon, tons of room and comfort. Not too many make wagons these days. Glad to see this one in good hands!
SUVs are a scourge of the automotive industry
Can't see through them can't see around them
Loved the Mercury Commuter since I was a Kid, I had the Matchbox model car of it. With two dogs in the back noses out over the tailgate. Great to watch this video, excellent work Guys. Over in the UK we call a Station Wagon an Estate Car.
Neat old wagon! You could put period wheels on it for a mild custom!😁 Cheers!😁
That old wagon looks like a great parts getter to me. I had a 1967 Ford Country Squire that was solid as all get out. I miss that car after watching this video . :^(
When I was a kid, our neighbors had a Ford wagon that had jump seats in the back like that. It was fun riding back there as long as the window was up. It wouldn't have been if we had been in a rear end collision.
I really don’t care how long your videos are. I’m watching till the end regardless. I love seeing these old cars get going again. Happy Holidays to you all and your families.
Black it out and make it a sleeper
this car is incredible. I would love to have something like that for a cruiser with the family.
When we mechanics get some old machine running, especially one that a lot of other people have given up on, or consider worthless, I think that the enjoyment we get out of that must be a little reflection of how God must feel as He restores us. God bless you guys.
I love the old wagons. We had a few while growing up. Keep up the great content and God bless you!
That car looks like it has a lot of potential. You two do a great job. Thanks for bringing those old vehicles back from the dead
love the way you guys work together,good to see
Guys thank you so very much ,im 68 years old my dad bought a brand new mercury colony park black with red leather and fake wood side ,428 cubic inch and power everything been searching for one forever but they have been wrecked or rusty so I am in heaven watching
Old school is best. No computers, no relays no tons of junk blocking the motor.
@Jaycee C, but can you have 1,000 HP engines in them without said technology, though?
Jaycee C your right. Some people are jealous that we can have fun with less. No electronics,no fuel injection,and no boost and still have true fun. They piss me off. They can go enjoy their imports. I will enjoy good ole American Muscle.
@@torquewisdomgarage Axzactly!!! My best muscle car was my 1974 buick century. With a 350...!!!!
No stems, no seeds that you don't need...
We had a Pontiac station wagon back in 1974 we took a family trip to Wyoming to visit family.
My sister and I sat in the back on eather side of the spare tire, saying faster, faster, faster when mom pasted somebody.
I actually had a 68 Mercury Monterey wagon (9 passenger). Had the same features as yours. 3-way tailgate, rear facing 3rd bench seat, 390 v8.
Looking forward to all the work on the wagon... Very cool Mercury. Definitely four barrel and dual exhaust with a little extra cam and some decent meats underneath it with factory rally wheels or slots but not slammed but a nice family muscle car rake. And a really good cleaning and reupholster those seats and carpet and that'll be one clean ride.
Don't watch TV anymore I just watch "RESTORED", DYLAN MCCOOL, SCOTT'S SPEED SHOP, JUNKERUP, NICK'S GARAGE AND POWER NATION...
Try out Vice Grips Garage
Watch Wes Work is a good one too.
Coldwarmotors another great channel. Master Body man.
I know me too.Nothing worth watch I on tv..thanks for the info.I will check out those other shows
also check out DD speed shop and Lovett Speedshop
I so happy you are rescuing that old wagon. I am watching this 2 years after it aired and I wanted to scream please oil the driver door hings aaahhhh.
Great to see a Father and Son team. Well Done. All the Best. Jonathan. xx
Always to see you all in real time, conquering the same problems most of us had! I can identify with the frustration on the back couple of plugs on the driver side! I had a 1967 Mustang with 390 engine, and disc brakes, necessitating the brake booster. Ended up buying a universal spark plug socket, and a long extension. Definitely was tight! Those FE block engines are still fairly plentiful, as are parts. My own favorite!
In the late 70's built up a 289 in a 65 Fairlane 500. Put headers on and you couldn't reach ANY plugs!
I've had 5 station wagons! Loved every single one of them!
... time zone was not in my favor to watch the whole revival live, but so glad to see it fire up... This old commuter will look super cool cleaned up and sitting on a set of old school mags.. nice work guys
Brings me back in time. My dad had a Buick station wagon and it had the glass panels in the roof. We had my mom and dad and I have 9 brothers and sisters. 6 boys and 4 girls. We had the rear face to face seating and we also,had a station wagon with a rear facing seat. I love that you are saving this old girl. The sheet metal wasn’t that great back then and being up in Maine these cars rusted out before the engines went.
Other then a disc brake conversion, I'd keep it as close to stock as possible.
“than” 🙄😒😳
Yes we want more. We want to see it running and shined up. It’s gonna be a great car!!!
I remember my dad having a '65 Ford Country Squire..... When you flipped the "doorgate" and panels for the rear jump seats it brought back memories.
I was 13 when this car came out and I do remember seeing them, dang, I'm old! lol Had a 71' Mercury Comet GT w/307 in it, great car and tons of fun to drive, first and only Merc I ever owned.
I love station wagons when I was a kid lots of room in them girls loved it too
Watch Part 2 Cleanup Video Here: th-cam.com/video/367Adpp7kEw/w-d-xo.html
I'm in Morgantown wv
How does your garage camera have such a rich picture, I've never seen a camera set up that looks like a Norman Rockwell photo, what set up are you using for the wide shot in the garage??
It's funny to think that I was 7 years old in 1960, so that old commercial you ran sure brought back a lot of memories.
When I was a kid I had a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville that I loved. It was a runner for a wagon. I like to see some of the wagons brought back. Thanks Earl
Awesome revival, love these old wagons, would love to see a live or vid of the cleanup and restoration of the paint. Great production quality, y’all do great work!
When you first drive it you need to blast the song “ Crazy bout a Mercury “
Love your show on TH-cam,Love that you mention Jesus at time when few do.
Keep up the good news and you bringing back old tetired vehicals.
I am 70 years old and I still love the old ones
I have a 1970 Dodge Monaco wagon I found with a 383 Magnum super rare six passenger and it's a beast. Wagons are cool from the Woody's all the way up to the vinyls. And if you think about it nothing rides as nice as those old cars especially the Chryslers with quiet ride. My friend had a 77 LTD wagon Brown mint condition grandmother's old car and we went everywhere and loved it and it was a big block two barrel and the gas mileage wasn't bad.
I'd get the mechanical needs ironed out then work on cosmetics. That would make a rare, good runner.
I like you what are you do you land duvet 68 drag
Why don’t you bypass the picture Jake
Your family inspires me with all your information thank you guys so much and blessings to your family.
We had a 68 Ford Country Sedan with the 390, the dual function tailgate and those dual facing rear seats. My younger sister and I road back there when we went on family trips. Older sisters got the middle seat. Summer time was rough because the a/c would not reach that far without freezing my mama to death in the front seat. Loved that car. Parents had it from 68 to about 1993.
Love your adventures getting stuff running, you are good people!
This is definitely going to take off big time I'm lucky enough to suffer doing the same things myself but to be able to watch it in my warm house not covered in junk and get the ohhh yaaaa shes a runner feeling is great. Definitely do a follow up of a good drive down the road tho. Added edit noooo air bags get her mechanically sound and let her eat up the road just as she is
While I was married we only had one station wagon. My kids loved it. They would go from the back bench seats to the front. Their own play ground.
We had one of those when I was in high school. My sister was able to get it up on two wheels while she made a left turn across 5 lanes of traffic. All I remember is sliding from the passenger side to the driver's side of the back seat and my mom yelling " Mistyyyyy !"
Those were the days when you could get to everything under the hood. My dad was machanic for over thirty years. He retired when cars became fuel injected and front wheel drive.
I only found out about this channel watching Derek on vgg
First time I landed on this channel and happy I did. Something about this station wagon really has my interest, I do have a vague memory of going to the camp in a Brown Chevrolet wagon? 5 kids and parents and someone always brought a friend, fun times I'd go back and relive that life forever.
My favorite, and I think the most sought after station wagon from what I gather is the 1970-71 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. I like the fond memories of big family haulers from the 50s to the 80s...
These guys are way better then Vice Grip Garage garage
Watch your mouth boy😂
Outstanding! Interesting and fantastic to watch these go from destitute to functional again, it's an inspiration as well as interesting as heck!
It's awesome to see you guys saveing them old cars ..
I would love to see another video of it running and cleaned up. I love those old wagons.
I would cover the carb in plastic while you are removing debris from the engine bay, love these & the Country Squire. Never heard of a commuter before though.
Walmart bags are great for that sort of thing. I cover my alt. when I wash under the hood. Pressure washing is a must
She very good with the camera , I mean like professionals,
We had a ford wagon with the back split seats with wood grain back in the 70’s
You guys rock ‼️
Growing up we had a 74 Pinto 9 passenger wagon. Loved that car, sister and I used to have to ride in the jump seats in back with the window down for A/C.
With a good highway gear and a three-speed automatic you don't need overdrive just add more power.
As I lay here with my tissues and sneezing and coughing and COVID in the next room, but you have really caught my attention and makes me feel better. I have always enjoyed 😉 your Utube instructions. I ❤ U guys! I'll do better when I'm better. Thank you for today. ❤ 💙 💜
I remember the Merc Commuters/Meteors and Ford Ranch Wagons .. a favorite with the family RVers/travelers back in the day, pulling the pop-up campers and small travel trailers, back in the late 60s & early 70s .. haha, our family was one of them …
Great Job Guys! Hopefully Y’all saw My message/donation we sent during the live. We would love to have Wyatt Pop on by our Live again Saturday’s at 5 Pacific It’s the “Community Not Competition “ Podcast/Live Stream. Cheers and God Bless Y’all!
Love your show love the wagon please no 20 Inch wheels
You mentioned Uncle Frankie, just as I was thinking about him and how I cried with you when you got the awful news. I hadn’t cried over a stranger since I cried over Thurman Munson of the Yankees when I was a kid. Uncle Frank hurt most because he didn’t get to see his car, up and running.
So sad, I cried too and I never met the man. How did he die?
@@tomwinkle5536 ... Yeah, it was sad as heck. Everyone having a great time until that painful miserable phone call we all hear about. I don’t remember how he died, I just remember that he wasn’t feeling well. Honestly, I lost it the moment he said it. Only 58 too.
Dang, I want this car so badly. I remember riding in the stationwagon "way back" seat, as we called it, when I was a kid.
I would restore it to basically factory condition and maybe warm the engine up a bit but no goofy oversized wheels or loud exhaust. A sleeper not a cocaine special.
I would keep it! Power nation recently worked on a 390 and turned out the block was cracked but I would love to squeeze more power of that 390 with after market heads, intake, exhaust, also the fuel delivery system ! The episode I'm referring to they put a twin four barrel intake and used fuel injection! Would be nice
Chris... When I was a kid my brothers and I would ride in the back. It had the back seat. We had another station wagon that didn't have the seat. But all way's fun to sit in the back no seat belts. Love your vidio's you guy's are the best!!!!
👍👍 great video I like watching them working n getting the vehicles to start. Thank you for making these videos n God bless you all.
Good job guys ! Can't wait to see more of her !
I would love to see everything you guys do with this wagon
I'd LOVE to find a wagon like this!
I allways had a funnel with a hose on it. It will get in every time.. God bless you all. Keep the good work coming
