[Amc-list] Mariner wagon here on the coast

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since Tom alluded to my trip to LA this weekend to
deliver the Rambler, I thought I would relate a
happening on my way down there.

I had stopped at the Lost Hills exit of I-5 overnight
and parked with the Rambler on the car trailer behind
my pickup.  I parked next to a Jack-In-The-Box
restaurant and not two minutes after I parked the
truck a guy came out and asked me if I was a Rambler
nut.  I of course admitted my sickness and he said he
had a 69 Rebel Mariner wagon in Santa Cruz that he
uses for a daily driver.  He collects Studebakers but
found this wagon and loves how it drives and handles. 
He said it is a very good car.  We talked Ramblers and
he looked over the little 63 hardtop and agreed that
it was too good to part out.  I told him Tom would
probably have it on the road in a week.  Turns out Tom
beat my estimate by six days.  The guy from Santa Cruz
and I exchanged phone numbers so I might have another
set of eyes watching for Ramblers in the weeds.

This whole incident makes me wish for an orphan car
meet here on the Central Coast somewhere.
