Nice wagon. We still want to see the seat covers. You're quite a tease with the picture taking....

Zero cracks. I am trying to load more pics but my computer is so slow it is disgusting.... I am not the best pic taker in the world either. This car surprises me every time I lokk at it. It is like a time warp to 1985

did we tell you or WHAT!
worth every penny. seriously you could sell that for triple what you paid for it.
what's slow on your computer? the transfer from the camera or the uploading itself to the internet?
try photobucket.com for hosting the pics, really easy and very high quality site!

That is my new problem. To sell or not to sell. I am thinking about ebay but I also love these cars and might never find another like it. It has not been cleaned well on the inside yet and it still looks that good. Those front front seats under those skins look new as well. What do you think it would bring on ebay.

It is suddenly getting less interesting......

Geez Cap'n, you sound like the wife.....

I got the image from The Antique Fan Collectors website. Great folks over there too, and if you can believe it many pay more for an old antique fan than we do for a nice low mileage wagon.
Here are some Western Electrics. Look like any of them?

Here is the main page for the galleries if anybody wants to see some cool old fans, or try identify a fan they may have.

You can research the price range on ebay by going to an existing auction for a 300TD. There is a button for price research on the main page. If you've never followed auctions for premium condition 300TD's you'll be pleasently surprised.

Cool fan links Jimmy.

I used to have a fan that looked like a barrel with vertical axis blades. The wind would blow out 360˚ from the sides and also from the top. I loved that fan, but it got crushed during a move and I haven't seen one like it ever again.
It was at least 15 years old when it got wrecked about 10 years ago and it had a 2 tone brown plastic housing. Ever seen one?

You are referring to what is commonly called a Hassock style fan. I have 7-10 of them, and one is the wife's fan of choice for sleeping noise.
I don't have a pic on this computer of a larger one like you speak of, but here are a couple of smaller ones on that style.




see the removable ashtray in the one above? Man, they had to smoke in the 30's and 40's.....
Here are a couple of ebay auctions for that style fan:

That is the exact fan my daughter sleeps with every night.

I have one like this too.
The above is very clean, and even original box! Love that faux wood....
I guess I have more than 7-10 of those.....

Well it looks the most like "12"" BB/BC Hawthorn Vane Oscillator 1910 Terry Fisher I collect antique telephones which you know are mostly Western Electric. I found the fan which is in mint condition and bought it because it was Western Electric. As for the cars I have two rav4s a tercel which I can't sell because It honestly gets 44mpg. I have a 1980 300sd which I will never sell because I love it and a 1999 Toyota Solara the new 1985 300TD and a 1979 SD parts car. I have a 1984 SD with a very good body but dead engine and trans. Sell it for 300 dollars if anybody wanted it. The hood and grill are bent though.
