TICK prevention.

My uncle had one of those. At least I think that’s what he had. Same exact colour. Did it have an electric rear window, and a rear facing bench seat? Guess the designer thought the kids would like at good look at the vehicle about to smoke into the rear end.
 
I had to put in my own rear facing seat and seat belts, but yes, electric rear window. I also had a 61 Plymouth fury wagon, 73 impala wagon, as well as a couple of Parisienne wagons. I had five kids and couldn't afford a minivan.
