My growing car collection

I'm almost the proud owner of another "interesting" car. And bizarrely, it is coming from the same town that I bought my daily driver '64 Catalina convertible - Dallas-Fort Worth.

Although it wasn't planned this way, it's another '64 Catalina - but this time a 9-seat wagon. So I'm going to be making almost the identical road trip to last time, in the same car.

However, there is a catch. This one's cheap - very cheap. Which means that although it's a good runner, it's far from mint. There's gonna be some rust to fix. But this wagon cost less than we spend on groceries in a couple of months, so I can live with that!

Wow! She's a beauty. Congratulations. In about 6-9 months I might be in the market for something similar (probably not a wagon, though). I know who to call to help me in my search!
