Update on the Concours. I wasn't feeling confident taking to the freeway with the 55 year old XT rubber, so a set of GY Polyglass F70x14's were in order to compliment the vintage Keystones. I like this look better.
Just the ticket for more cruise nights and parts chasing!!

Yes. Post 139 of this thread shows it on modern GY radials that were on it for a summer. I actually prefer how these cars drive on bias-ply, feels more "right" to me.

Hi Bill,

Love this wagon.
If I were ever to see all your classic rides, I’d probably walk over to this one first.

I have a thing for these extremely hard to find 60’s station wagons especially ones with Red interior.

Is that the factory stance, or have you adjusted it?

Thanks Chris! If you ever find your way to Iowa plan a visit.

Factory springs all around. It came to me with coil-over load levelers on the rear which gave it a slight rake. When I had the suspension blown apart I added horseshoes to the front springs to level it about an inch over stock.
The 70 series tires give it bit of a "lifted" look that I like.

Your welcome.

Doubt if I make it to the Midwest, but I’ll put it on the bucket list.
I’d make sure to bring a drool rag. Thank you for the invite!

Whatever was done to this ‘67 wagon, the stance is dead on!

Chris
