1996 Ford Taurus Station Wagon - 0608f-2cf
After further research, I found out that there were four different engines offered in the 1996 Ford Taurus, sedan and wagon models - all V-6 engines. There was a V-8 offered, but it was only available in the Taurus SHO sedan and it had a special frame for it. My Taurus is the GL trim package and came with the 3.0L OHV Vulcan V-6.
The good news is - I have finally located another engine to replace my bad one and it's only 44 miles away. I hope to be able to go and pick it up later this week, but in any case, I now have an end in sight to get my station wagon back on the road again. Along with the renewed hope for it comes this digital custom where I try out wide whitewalls with chrome reversed rims and baby moon hubcaps. I have also digitally altered the image to represent a ride of about 4 inches lower than the cars' stock height. I think it looks better a little closer to the ground like this. The reason I bought the car in the first place was to do a little customizing to it so that I could join a local car club with it.
Any comments about this combination of wheels and tires? I think the wide whitewalls and retro wheels compliment the round, swoopy lines of the car. Just as this combination of wheels and tires used to make my Dad's cars back in the 1950's look so cool. I guess customizing cars runs in the family.
