Morning coffee

I certainly don't mind my Country Sedan having extra doors. camping in it is so much easier with the rear doors as an entry. just saying.

That just reminded me that a guy down the street brought me a copy of Station Wagon Living, vol 2. I had never seen one before.

Well I just fell off the wagon.....the pile of cars wagon that is!  Just increased the stable with a 1961 Comet S-22.  Have always loved the "cat eye" tail end of these step children.  The Comet was to be Edsel's small car, based on it's cousins Falcon platform.  Ford decided to kill the Edsel in the early 60 production run in 59 leaving the Comet to flounder on it's own.  Mercury took it under wing for the 62 MY and the rest is history.  The Comet is my first running and driving complete early car that will only require a couple of tweaks.  Coming out of  Weatherford, TX, waiting on a shipper.

  This, although a couple years newer was pitted a few spots up from me. Real tidy and nice looking car that you don't see everyday. Had a Windsor engine of some sort in it.

Love Comets !!!  Bill, your new purchase looks great ! Mercury used the name C O M E T,  ie 5 letters, to replace the  E D S E L script, so the basic design would stay consistant with the car.
I am looking forward to hear if the taillight lenses have Edsel or Mercury part #s.

this was my old 62, although I confess I used DIFFERENT taillight lenses....

You used mush better lookin' taillight lenses! 
Isn't there a fuel tank filler back there? I'm not all that familiar with Comets but I assume that's a filler that I see on the rear of the other Comets pictured here.

Bill, were you ever really completely on the wagon?  Probably had one foot dragging just in case.

LOVE "EM! ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK!!!!

[djfordmanjack]

yes the og filler cap is in the middle of the rear trunk panel. I moved it to the inside and custom made the ribbed aluminium trim panel. long upper and lower trim are VW beetle running board trims. barely long enough to fit the Comet.
