    The best thing about a two door wagon is, you dont have to shave the door handles off the back doors to make it look like a two door.

    I think they look good. And I havent even started on thin one yet. It was my boys first car. We have owned it for 11 years or so. The old six banger does a really good job. Middle photo was done by a friend.

  8. I think 2 door wagons are one of the best looking coolest vehicles on the road.
    I've always wanted one. It seems to make any vehicle look good. Any model, any year.

    What kind of question is that?! All longroofs rock on one level or another and two-doors especially so IMHO. If you want to get away from the hearse look, don't paint it black, unless you accentuate it with some bright colors like Rich's son did. That wagon is COOL.

    Man a 2 door wagon is probably one of the koolest body styles ever! The hanyman wagon as it was called back in the day. Its half a wagon and half a delivery but w/ windows. There are some incredible ones around. Unfortunateley i cant post pics right now, but man as 56don said its crazy talk brother! Just get one.

  19. all long roofs are cool, just look at all the 2dr and 4dr that are running around now. Back in the day people would laugh at you if caught wheel'in around in Mom & Pop grocery getter. Now it's a different story ! my 4dr !

  20. I've has a few wagons and sedan deliveries over the years. None were overly cool, but not plain Jane either.

    nope it would be for her so she has to be happy
     
  25. ALL wagons are cool if you do em custom and are a lot cooler than a new crossover.
    These two, the '56 was an on frame resto by me and the Buick delivery is wierd (I luv dat), not everyone likes it, but makes me $$$.
    The 63 was owned and built by a friend, now sold. He loves torture.
    Hope this helps convince her.
