Like this a long, long time ago?

Thanks for asking! Found a 1957 Ford station wagon two door (?) in nice shape with no engine so took the engine out of the 36 and put it in the 57. A factory rep from a water ski company saw the wagon and thought it would make a great promotional vehicle, so it went. I have to tell you about this rep, he ended up working in shipping and receiving for a gold mining company in the Yukon and disappeared one Friday with the week’s production, still in Australia I think. A buddy bought the 36 body, put in a Mopar and went drag racing, because of the statue of limitations I can now disclose that the drag link was gas welded together (OMG ) and he was doing close to 100 mph. Body changed hands a couple of times until I lost track of it, frame was bent anyway. Dumb kids.
