Seeing as there does not seem to be a good(1972) Montego site that has the reputation of this site, I thought I would join and, at the very least, enjoy all the chassis tech help provode some when I can. I also have a '71 LTD wagon that hauls my kids around on a regular basis!

The '71 Galaxy wagon. It took a direct deer hit on the highway last Spring and it took all summer to find parts(hood, grill, fender etc.) The hood reamins in black primer for now. The ONLY place I found that had all the stuff in oe place was a giant yard in Camp Douglas Wisconsit (near Tomah) that has over 6000 cars on 300 acres, self serve, no roads and bring your wasp spray!

That is a clean wagon! Noticing the chrome around the base of the roofline - was it originally a vinyl roof wagon? That is super cool.

Nice "long roof" there! Is the rear bumper stock? Have you tucked it in??

The bumper is stock.
I had no knowlege of this being a vinyl top, but to be honest I never really thought that much about the trim at the base of the roof! If it was converted, they did a very nice job. The wagon has 125,000 miles so it is possible one of the previous owners decided to axe the vinyl.

So, I did a little digging. EVERY picture of a '71 Ford LTD, Country Squire, or Country Sedan wagon that I could find has that trim. That trim seems to be standard regardless of whether you have a vinyl roof or not. You'd have to order a Marti report to know for sure.

My dad's 71 country squire had the same molding, and it didn't have a vinyl top.
