I made progress on the one-owner 1967 Mercury Commuter station wagon today, until God himself intervened. Let's do this! Edited by VideoGuru:videoguru.page...
@N-Scale I agree! But the tires are severely dry-rotted and will need to be replaced anyway. I've been swapping out deteriorated parts for the last few days. Video coming soon!
@EFarrell-jx3op My family had a couple of the later LTD wagons. They both had the fold-out rear seats. Great memories in those cars! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@mohawkgarage I'm in Balto. Md. and hotter here than there. I used to come to FL. every Feb. for the Daytona 500. until they priced us out of the place. Rained almost every afternoon for 5 mins. and then a nice day.
Don't change a thing. Maybe wheels. Other than that, and RAISE the stance, don't lower it, it's not an Impala. No airbags !!!!! Beautiful wagon that needs love. Take care of it. It's wonderful history.
@@RickyMeninger The only changes I'll be making will be restoration-type things. It'll get tires, brakes, shocks, etc. It will not be lowered or lifted. I want it to be a great driver with as much stock equipment as possible. Thanks for watching and commenting!
take a brillo pad to the white walls along with some westly's bleech white ...and use a brillo pad on the chrome it will clean up alot of the rust on the bumber's ..not all but a good bit
@user-bm8ei5ub1c I'm afraid the bumper rust is too deep. It's pretty bad. I'll be buying new tires soon, so I'm gonna let the yellow-walls remain for now. lol Thanks for watching and commenting!
Not sure about the wagons, but a lot of the Ford cars back then had factory drain plugs built into the gas tanks, maybe your wagon might have one, makes it a lot easier to get that old varnished gas out of it.
@@BruceCutshall I was wondering the same thing as I shot the video! I sure hope so. That would make my life much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can’t wait to see this beautiful family hauler when it’s cleaned and detailed! I like to think of all the good memories some family had in this wagon. I can’t remember - does this have one of the third seat options? There were two - rear facing, and dual facing rear seats. Great video!
@@danielulz1640 It's pretty optioned out. A/C, roof rack, ps, pb... There's also an aftermarket quadraphonic 8-track player under the dash. Thanks for watching and commenting!
67 was also the first year for the optional Oxford Grain vinyl roof cover on station wagon. Back when you could order your car exactly the way you wanted.@@mohawkgarage
I learned to drive on a 1966 Colony Park wagon, dark green metalic. It had the same hub caps as yours. We also had the 390 engine 2bbl in it and it was a beast. Probably drove it 12 years from new. Never gave us problems. I used to clean the white walls with brillow pads works great. Used it on the wagon and 64 1/2 mustang tires too... will be watching your progress...
@user-bx2vh3pd8t I love the dark green metallic paint on these cars. I'll be getting a new set of tires, as these are dry rotted and not fit for road use. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS I'm still glad I washed it before the rain. It had lots of dirt all over it. It looks so much better now. Great to hear from you, my friend! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I suspected the hubcaps had a painted black section originally! There's still a bit of faded black paint on them. Thanks for the info. Also, thanks for watching and commenting!
man would i love to buff and polish that car ...love the green tinted glass too..the 65 montclair we had was the same way ...i think cars with factory a/c had the green tinted glass
I actually have one of the chrome tailight surronds for this car. I can't remember if it is the right or left but it is in great shape and I don't think it has ever been on a car. If you're interested in it let me know and maybe we can make a deal.
@mmill6505 My fuel pump and filter just arrived, so it should happen soon. I've still not verified the functionality of the brakes. I will not drive it until it is safe to do so. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The old wagon is really looking good! Hopefully, it will drive as good as it looks.
@@Galona223 I sure hope so! I'm in the driveway right now, installing a fuel pump and a filter. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That is such an awesome car. I've always loved wagons. The wheel covers are really nice too.
Thank you! I'm still buzzing about finding it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think a lot of people are starting to realize these old cars were build better than today.
@DocZoidberg549 I'm pretty sure you could build 4 Hyundais with the metal in this car! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@DocZoidberg549 you got that right Doc
Loving the wagon
@@oz1141 I'm glad you like it! I'm enjoying it, too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
SOS pads will SUPER CLEAN white walls !!!
@N-Scale I agree! But the tires are severely dry-rotted and will need to be replaced anyway. I've been swapping out deteriorated parts for the last few days. Video coming soon!
That tinted green glass indeed! Really dig this 'wagon and wouldn't mind having this in my own driveway!
The blue Florida sky against those green tinted windows was just too sweet to ignore. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’d love to have that car! I’d daily drive it!
@@doug8525 That's the goal! I'll keep you updated as it comes back around via this channel! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That's one cool wagon
@SquareMax it drove on its own power yesterday. I'm fired up! Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!
We had the same 67 growing up white with wood grain same hub caps beautiful car they had style not just family room

My son and I used to buy and sell cars. He did the mechanical work and I was the detailer.
@@mikenonya6382 That sounds like a good business plan! I love messing with these old cars. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Well of course it rained, you washed the car! LOL 😆.
@@danielulz1640 I know, right? Sorry about that! lol
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Typical Fl weather.

She's a beauty.
@@FamousHate-l5g Thank you so much. She's really growing on me!
@@mohawkgarage That beige is so appropriate for that time. Not a wow color but very cool. I'm sure it hauled a lot of groceries.
@@FamousHate-l5g Absolutely! I bet it hauled its share of offspring, too! Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@joemorsman6531 It has the facing rear seats! Another video is coming soon. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, those are the deluxe wheel covers, optional at extra cost, as was the roof rack, the radio etc.

A sos pad works great on chrome, but will scratch aluminum
@bighank796 It's already part of the plan! Hopefully, that will clean them up. Thanks for watching and commenting!
oh i forgot..when checking the gas lines out..check the one that comes off the tank and to the steel line
Every single inch will be inspected. I'm gonna make this car ready to drive! Thanks again!

Needs 3 foot stick…buys 24 foot stick 🤣
@TierodMcslush A 24-foot stick is pretty much the same as eight 3-foot sticks. Now, I'll have lots of 3-foot sticks whenever I need them!
