Hot Rods Did I just get the wife a Christmas gift?

Just shook hands for this one. Wife's new car

 

Nice family car!

 

56 wagon. Has some new parts. Needs rockers and floor work. Bottom inside of the lift gate as well. Comes with some new parts and new outer rockers. It's an auto car with a perfect un cut dash and factory radio. Looks like a front end rebuild as well. I have the option to get its original engine for another 500
A rebuilt 235.
No trans with the car

 

Go Santa go.....

 

Super straight sheet metal and trim. Plans are for a mechanical resto, drop, fix rust and interior. Plan to just clean up the outside for now

 

Valentines Day is coming up...bet she'd like a BBC instead of candy

 

nice gift!
this year we are a little light, i bought the wife a wiper blade........she bought me a wiper blade. it will be a good year we will both be able to see.

 

My wife and I are keeping it light this year. Except for all the cookies I ate.

 

Cool. Hope she loves it.

 

she found it on FB last night and told me she wanted it
I was sleepy and thought I dreamed it
she sent me the coordinates this morning to check it out, I then realized I didn't dream that.
Its the best for the money wagon I have found plus its a 56...her favorite year
and all the original seats are intact

 

me too, I usually make her something in the shop
actually, its a gift to herself that I have to fix

may stop at Victoria's Secret and pick me up something for her to work on

 

got to decide if I want to go 235 with an OD auto or build the 283 power pack I have been saving

 

Congratulations,that will make a great driver. HRP

 

Nice,but better look out ,an better not pout!I'm telling you why;
I got my wife a cool used car many years back,it was rust free an I worked on it about 3 months over at a buddy's,to get it really nice,so she didn't know. Put a very big red bow on it,and locked in garage for Christmas AM. Well I pop the garage door for the big revell,and not one smile,she was thinking it would be a washer /dryer set for sure. I never hear the end of that one,an she had me drive "her" new car to the" auto wash mat" for a few weeks to boot ! LOL
May be if the car had been a Maytag ?

 

Don't post any craigslist ads saying your wife wants a BBC for Valentine's Day.

 

The hood V shows it to be a V8 car - check the serial # on the door jam, if it starts with VB56, it was a 265 ... does it have a V on the end gate ?
That's the perfect place to use your 283.
Damn, John ! You made me blow coffee all over the place ...

 

That's funny shit right there, i don't care who you are...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Nice wagon, the 56s are my favorite too.

 

Cant deny my first thought was "There goes the Cadillac" but hopefully you can help do both, What better way to spread yourself thin
I like the 56 and that style 210 paint scheme to by the way,...... also cant help but mention I saw a 56 wag in a magazine years ago that had the five spoke factory Z28 daisy style steel wheels that just looked rite to me, cheesy maybe???or not, I thought it looked rite.

 

Nice!
My wife wants a 65 Falcon Sprint.
It’s great to have a wife that loves this hobby as well! Good for you and good for her!

Took mine out last night for a nice steak dinner... She was happy...

 

I know where that car came from! I've been looking at it every day when I drove by it, wishing I had the extra money to buy it! If you came through Berry, you drove right by my house when you went and looked at it.

From the one time I talked to you and your wife in Winfield at the Mule Day Show, I figure she will love it, especially when you get it going! Good luck with it!

 

Mine also wanted a '56 Chevy 4 dr. wagon but trying to talk her into a '62 Corvette, '37 Chevy Coupe, any '30's, '40's Hearse, maybe help pay for my wannabe '36 Ford Roadster.......................................

 

Cool car and cool wife!
But she said BBC and you're talking 283.... Tsk, tsk! Lol

 

Well if that doesn't put a smile on Her face on Christmas morning, then nothing will!
KK

 

LOL!! Told the family that comment you said. All that was funny .

 

My mom drove one just like that when I was a kid in Alaska. She ran off the road into a snow bank. When my dad pulled it out, it left a perfect impression of the front end in the snow.

 

Love me some wagon, but 56's just don't do it for me. Miles better than 57, but 55's look the best.
