As they say, even a blind squirrel will eventually find a nut.  Well that day just came for my 55 Ranch Wagon.  We won a trophy in Hainesport, NJ at the Boulevard Cruisers Car show.  She's a little faded, her engine well worn and she's certainly past her prime but apparently she had enough Y-Block mojo to sway the judges.  Comments like "wow, I didn't think any of these stripped down wagons survived, look it really still has a 3 on the tree" and "what kind of engine is that" could be heard.  For one brief moment, in October 2010, she was the prettiest belle at the ball again!

Congrats! Isn't it fun listening to the youngsters (and some oldsters) trying to identify a Y-block?

Good for you and your waggon!  If I can ever get through with my frame off restoration of my 57 Bird that I've had since 1971 maybe I can get a trophy too.
