I'm the resident FNG but the proud owner of a 59 Chevy Parkwood wagon. Pretty stock with the exception of a crate 350, disk brakes, 20's in the rear and 17's up front. I'd love to get some inspiration by peeking at some others. Mine is a daily Driver and has probably seen 15000 miles this last year. The three speed overdrive just puked its guts but I found another stock replacement so I'm back in business. Last major interior project is the rear cargo area. The original laminate floor paneling is falling apart so I'd love to see what people have done. I'm a DJ so I do carry speakers and amp racks so I need something that looks good but will hold up to abuse.
56 Pontiac 860 2 door wagon when I got it in 99 3 Pontiacs no waiting! Last fall last summer Ed Evans Graphics Pit Stop "Best Damn Embroidery in Town" www.myspace.com/graphicspitstop 56 Pontiac 860 2 door wagon
This one belongs to a friend of mine.It's about 3 feet shorter than stock,channelled 3" in the front and 7" in the rear.It's on air bags on all 4 corners and can lay it on it's rockers.What you see here is the ride height.It's pretty sick the amount of work he did to it,considering he did it all himself with a minimal amount of tools.

Hey!That almost looks like my yard!Got my 55 and 57 Safaris and a 25th Anniversary T/A.You got a rare one without the T-tops.Is it a 6-speed?
I'd love to do discs on the rear of my car. How complex is that on this wagon? I've heard of using chevelle calipers and rotors with some custom brackets. Are the brackets welded to the tube or bolted? Also any ideas on panels for the rear floor?
Look at that again......its a 97 that has a functional Shaker and Rally IIs that I made. I cut a hole in an 8k mile car, and made my own decals. They are shot now, Ive got to stip them off and will paint the stripes this time. If I were to own one, it would have to be a hard top though. I had an 87 that I ran 91 bumpers and ground effects on back in 91. I did the Shaker & stripe treatment to it along with Honeycombs. In 93, it was in popular hot rodding's 25th Anniv TA Issue, called the Time Warp TA. Mine was out a full year before the 25th Anniv. It was at the TA Nats in 92. Ive got a White & blue 72 TA with a 4 speed that I used to copy the stripes. Right now Im building a Teal 92 that has early air extractors also & will have the White stripe of a Blue 70-72. Ed

This wagon thread comes up regularly...I still love it BTW Mr. Acres, that's an absolutely wonderful shot of your family on the beach. By cruzpch at 2006-01-31
Just do a search for longroofs or click the link http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2240&highlight=long+roofs+boys
For the back floor paneling....ive see lots of stuff that works well....linoleum can look cool if done right and lasts forever, and wood wall paneling looks pretty bitchen...doesnt last very long though.
Posted on my intro but now currently in partial dis-assemby in hopes of taking it to be media blasted in a few months; my '63. Finding my wagon was kind of like buying a house, you look at a whole bunch but when you see the one you want, you know it's the one. I dig my wagon.
My in Progress '56 Buick Wagon. recently out of the paint shop. What I started with...Perfectly stock Buick... When we started tearing into the body... The Almost finnished product, still have a few things to do, tranny, trim is on now but not in this picture...

My Nomad, 106,000 original miles, 14x7 Supremes hopefully will be installed in the near future (waiting on 2 wheels)
I stumbled across this last week. Still trying to get ahold of the owner, but talked to his brother and it IS for sale. Just don't know how much yet........I would imagine there are lots of parts available for these? Any idea how many were made?
Another FNG's favorite ride!: Here's my 1961 Tudor Ford Falcon Deluxe Wagon; 260 V8, 3 speed manual... No, I didn't drill over 100 holes in it to put those acorn nuts on the body...the deluxe had this AWESOME trim all away around there...but all of my clips are shot...and their like $4 a piece or something...I guess I'd rather rebuild the 260 with that 400 dollars... More angles; Pictures from random shows in Wisconsin: http://s283.photobucket.com/albums/kk310/Falcon_Rod/1961 Tudor Wagon Ratt Rod/ I built it and I LOVE to drive it!
