- 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. Check it out and let us know what you think?

Thanks for watching the video - Авто та транспорт
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
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.
The '60 Meteor wagon looks like a '60 Chevy wagon at the back!
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!
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.👍👍👍
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!
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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!
She's fast and unusual! Just my type!
The 1960 Ford wagons we're the best looking wagons of all time!
Thanks for watching and commenting! We like them too!
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 👍
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.
Kinda looks like a '60 Chevy wagon from the rear.
I can see that. Thanks for watching and keep it up!
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!
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
