Well, after the last try at car-to-car video...we were sad pandas to be sure. It worked (a bit) with our 2004 F150, but the harsh truck springs and wind buffeting drove us nuts when shooting. To far toward the rear axle and the camera shook like Charro (yes, I'm showing my age) on a talk show, to close to the cab and we got a stellar view of the gunwales of the truck. And don't get us started on the wind noise out in the exposed bed.
So what to do? We are loath to have a minivan. Loath. But a wagon, especially an OLD wagon, that has potential. So we lurked around and landed on this one. A plain-jane '68 Fairlane. So plain it has a mat rather than carpet. So plain that there isn't even a whiff of chrome on the side glass. So plain that there is not even a body side molding so typical on the Fairlane. Nor a roof rack, not even a power tailgate window. The only options are an AM radio and V8 with automatic. Perfect.
Now to start moving things on e-Bay...
