- You've probably met a few of Jim Wagnon's very cool Ford Motor Company cars from the 1960s that we've already featured. If not, check them out in the links below. This is one of the rarest in his collection and is becoming his "go to" daily ride around Phoenix! It still wears its original patina but has had a heart transplant with a few upgrades.

Thanks for watching the video
Very cool car. Never had seen one… until now!
The space between the body and the roof looks larger than the American 1960 wagons. What a piece of history you have there.

... Love the 1960 body style ... Tan is a great color ...
... I'm in California, and of all things, I own two Canadian built cars ! ... A 1965 Studebaker Cruiser, and a 1953 Dodge Regent ... Both are four door cars ... Both have front & rear operating wing vents ... And both are well loved, appreciated and admired ... Oh, and both are daily drivers ... Best regards ...
That is awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing! Keep it up!
That is such a cool car, and a real sleeper she'll surprise people with all the power she has. Jim, you did a great job bringing her back to life.👍👍👍
Awesome Station Wagon! A real Sleeper with that drivetrain! Most likely not many still exist, thanks for sharing!
You bet! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you keep watching!
Hi I'm the guy whose friend owned this car in Vancouver at least untill the early 1990s when I last saw it I last rode in it when we went to the 1986 Vancouver World's Fair. Glad to see it survived I owned a 1955 Meteor Niagara from 1984 until last year.
Wow! Great to have to you as part of our ITCCT family now! Thanks and keep watching!
Amazing that there was anything left of it after northern Ont. winters. I'm Canadian so I know how many cars from Canada from that era have long since turned into a pile of rust. Incredibly rare car and so nice to know that a least one of these survived. You always have the most interesting cars on this channel. Thanks.
Thanks so much!! We appreciate your support!
My first car, when I was 15 in '74, was a 60 Starliner. Of course I wish I still had it. This Meteor is probably rarer than a '60 Edsel, and a 2 door wagon too! The engine and transmission are really nice additions. You've done a great job.
Very cool comment and thanks for watching! Actually the '60 Edsel is rarer and wish we had one of each!
@@IfThisCarCouldTalk Do you know if any Edsels were sold new in Canada? You are right about the 1960 Edsels in terms of numbers built - by a lot, but I wonder if more of the '60 Edsels were saved than the '60 Meteors? Cars of this era rusted bady. I've see 4 or 5 1960 Edsels in person, but only one '60 Meteor. I'm not Canadian. Maybe the 1960 Meteors were popular and were preserved.
Tom kotter found 2 in a wrecking yard years ago ...one 2 door wagon one 4 door wagon...both in dry california wrecking yard also full of Galaxies too !
Fun Fact: The 60 full-sized Ford cars, same sheet metal as a Meteor, was one year body because it was too wide. The car, at 81½ inches, were actually wider than normal limits, and technically should have been sold with orange “clearance” lights on the roof. LOL
Bull!
Not sure about the clearance lights lol, but yes, 1960 was the widest Ford ever built
I saw this car in Vancouver when I moved there in the early 90s. I remember remarking to my friend "Look at that massive station wagon!". Whatever made it move from North Bay to Vancouver is the only reason it survived.
Wow - that's amazing! Small world huh? Thanks for watching and keep it up!
The 1960 Ford wagons we're the best looking wagons of all time!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We like them too!
She's fast and unusual! Just my type!
It appears the 1960 model of the Meteor was a fairly subdued modification of the 1960 Ford . My recollection is that in some other years the Meteor styling was a bit more flamboyant. Thanks for sharing this.
I believe you are correct. Thanks for watching and commenting! Keep it up!
The wagon version of my dad’s first new car, a white two door Ford Galaxy.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memory! Keep watching!
Take it to cruisin the coast in October
Great idea!
First week of Oct mississippi coast
My dream truck would be a Mercury Truck (crew cab) if possible.........
Great to see a vintage Canadian car.
We love the Mercury truck too!!
Mercury trucks were produced from 1946 thru 1968. Sadly, none were offered in crew cab formation. There had been a huge collection of Mercury trucks in the southwest California desert collected by a snowbird who drove one down from Canada each year. Unfortunately, back in the late 1990s some cigarette jerk came along and accidentally set fire to his place and all were destroyed. I cried for days...
@@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602 No wonder they're so hard to find.
The '60 Meteor wagon looks like a '60 Chevy wagon at the back!
No it doesn't.
Great car, I've only seen one US '60 Ford 2 door wagon, and several Falcons. I am in Mesa, have a '60 Comet 2 door wagon, also an original six/3 speed, also a V8 conversion with a 302 and C4. Its not Canadian, but it's rare enough that a few have asked me if it is.
Sounds like a very cool car you have there too! Thanks for watching and maybe we'll see you out and about with your Comet!
I am surprised you did not put a dual master cylinder in it.
Very cool. Where do you get the autolite battery ?
Hi and thanks for watching. That battery is a reproduction available from most Ford or Mustang parts vendors. There is also a top plate that fits over a more modern battery to make it look like and original one. Keep watching!
@@IfThisCarCouldTalk thanks over $600 Canadian 👍
Kinda looks like a '60 Chevy wagon from the rear.
Thanks for watching and keep it up!
Only if you never saw a '60 Chevrolet station wagon.
So do you think you will ever sell it? Because it's so beautiful and very much my ultimate favorite year of old Ford car bro really want to talk to you about this and perhaps get together and make a deal? I'm in Enilda Alberta Canada's north country. Please don't ignore this message? I'm no dumbass either!
Jim’s my dad, probably not for a while as he just finished it and got it from his friend who has passed.
If you're not a dumbass, you'll buy the car and repair the hotrod damage done to it by previous irresponsible owners! Good luck, bro. Seeing this car back in good shape would make my day. And Beechwood Brown is the perfect color for a Ranch Wagon.
That steering wheel looks like it is upside down. Anyone else think that?
It does sort of look upside down, but I can assure you it is on correctly. Just a very different design. Thanks for watching!
It's just a broken horn ring. He could fix it, if he had a mind to.
4:12 very bad body work on quarter panel under gas tank door,lots of bondo,ver wavy
Jim didn't do any body work on this car since he has owned it. Just tried to buff the old paint some. Who knows the life it lived before.
I bet it's shadows/lighting and the paint is stained from gas being spilled in that area
Rust in unavoidable. Shiddy body work can always be replaced.
