And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Really nice restoration to both. Have a '56 Shasta, redone but not "perfect", gets used every year. Has everything one needs for comfort...in 12 ft. (and no TV), which is a far cry from most being hauled around these days.
Mmmm, nawp. By 1963, even Rambler had overhead valves. I remember all this because our family had a '63 for years. Years of embarrassment every time one of my friends saw me in it. Then my parents traded it just about the time I started dating.
Ford (station wagon)? . . . no, that is American Motors, . . . correct?
ReplyDelete'63 Rambler in fact.
DeleteThe wing on the back of the camping trailer is a nice touch.

ReplyDeleteIt likely had a 196 flat head, with no filter. My '61 Rambler 210 had that motor, with the sporty 3 on the tree.
