1983 Ford Fairmont Wagon
My very first Wagon was an 83 Ford
Fairmont. I saw it abandoned along the side of the road. I left a note on it
that read "I want this car Call me. I left my phone number on the note.
I got a call the next day about the car. I went to check it out. It had a hole
in the gas tank, but it ran. I traded my tore up Yamaha Jog scooter for it.
I towed it home with my Oldsmobile Calais. It sat at home fore some time before
I got a battery for it. The car was White, and the people who traded it to me
were poor white trash. I called the car a White Trash Wagon. That is where the
word TrashWagon came from. The car was in bad enough shape that it would be
no loss to paint and cobble up the looks of the car. I got it running by borrowing
the gas tank from the lawnmower and hooking it up directly to the fuel line.
I got it running and drove it to a friend’s house. When I was to leave,
the starter had froze up. It sat there for a few weeks before I hauled it to
the junkyard.
