I'm sure the station wagon would have qualified. In fact, I was told I could have brought my inherited pick-up, Dad's 1995 Ford F-150.
But, along with other reasons I wouldn't take it, it is not clean enough -- not by a long shot -- to sit along side vehicles with raised shiny hoods that display spotless engine compartments. It's a farm truck!! However, I suspect it could have been clean enough when Dad owned it.
He showed his truck a lot of love. It still has, for example, the dealership's original plastic covering the floor, which was immaculate when I got the truck 10 years ago. I doubt Dad ever used it to haul hay. And, I know he didn't make it spend winters outside the garage. Its pampered life is over; it's a working truck now.
