Wanted Pics of 1950-60 orphan station wagons

Ok guys and gals...Next week on Speed Scene Live my segment G.A.A.S. will be about 1950 thru 1965 Orphan station wagons. Let's see your Nash, Rambler, Hudson, Plymouth, Olds, Pontiac, etc wagons. No Imports..Just god old USA Tin.

Not looking for the full size wagons. Let's look at the compact ones. The ones not scene often.

Examples would be small Ramblers or Nash wagons. Corvair, Tempest, F85, etc.

Stock or rodded, even raced would be cool.

Credit on air given to all that provide pics I use.

The show runs live at 6PM pacific time and reruns at 7pm pacific and then again in a day or so on demand.

Questions? Just shoot me a note.

Thanks!!!

 

Here is a rare one. 1961 Pontiac Tempest Safari wagon. Has factory a/c, 4 cylinder & automatic. Picked it up in Tucson Az for 200 bucks!!! Car is keeping the 4 cylinder, adding a 200R trans with a conventional diff. Car is also being converted into a 2 door sedan delivery. Have a lot more pics but couldnt get them to load.

 

Cool, you're in!!

 

Any more ?

 

My 56 Plymouth 2-dr wagon. ~sololobo~

 

That one is rare, so rare I think I'd have a really hard time cutting it up. Wonder what it'd take to get a late 'Vette powertrain/transaxle in there...

 

my ugly one

 

Not mine, for sale SF Craigslist http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2301443242.html

My old 1965 660 Cl***ic Cross Country.

 

Hudson didn't offer any wagons after 1942. Don't be fooled by a Hudson badged Rambler!

 

Here is my '62 Cl***ic. I hope to have it on the road soon.

 

It's been seen here, but my '60 Comet seems to fit this thread OK.

Looks a lot like the one CButcher posted. My brothers Rambler, drives it all the time. Gets a lot of attention, fun little car. I don't have on but I'm sure he has a pic of it pulling one of his restored vintage camp trailers.

 

K.K., your '60 seems to fit ok just about anywhere. Nice ride!!

 

Here's a couple Plymouth 2dr's from the web; a '50 monotone and a '51 two tone.

 

My '61 Lakewood that I drive all the time. Always the center of attention at the gas station. Here's some shots from my club's Vairs in the Valley show and the Hilton Head Concours Car Club Jamboree.

 

Full size yes...but definately an orphan...and not seen often..especially bagged

 

Thanks!

So far you guys are showin some cool wagons. A friend in NorCal has a 56 Plymouth 2 door wagon with factory history. Doge Hemi heads on a Plymouth block. Love them. The Ramblers are so cool and that Corvair, Comet and Poncho are great. Keep 'em showing up. I plan on showing them this Tuesday night on speedscenelive.com at 6PM Pacific time.

More the merrier...Keep 'em coming. Wanna see some Ramble American wagons, Olds F85 too.

 

Thanks guys....Tune into speedscenlive.com Tuesday nights at 6M to see this weeks segment G.A.A.S. on wagons.

 

A 60 Hillman wagon I have & it is for sale.

 

That's cool. I've seen 2 dr Hillmans, but this is the first 4 door. Does it run and where is it?

 

My old 55 pontiac wagon

 

I bet the purists love you for bagging it.

 

Got it!

Ok, guys. I added the ones sent today, but the close was last night as we have to prepare the show.. Thanks for all that were sent. Can't take anymore today.. Up to producer wahat gets in. Hope we have time for them all.

Next week we will do Vans and the pics I will use are from the "Vans making a come back" thread that is already going on here.

 

No the hillman dosen't run I actually have 3 the wagon non runner needs tlc, a 4 dr sedan dosen't run is for sale needs tlc & a 59 Convertible it will be a driver this summer I bought it for my other half to drive while iI am building the 36 roadster. I am in Mape Valley WA 35 minutes South East of Seattle

 

I thought long & hard about it guy!! But, at 6'4" & 260, I just dont fit into it as a 4 door. The coupe doors are 10 inches longer then the 4 dr fronts!! I have only seen 2 transaxle Tempest wagons turn'd into a 2 door & both were 63's. Have never seen it done to a 61-62 & never seen one as a Sedan Delivery. When I am done, it will be one of one & driven!!! No trailer queens here. My dailey driver is a 61 Tempest 2 dr Coupe that has over 500K miles!!! Wagon is going to be a long term project limited by the weather & $$$$$$

There are a couple of earley Tempest's being built right now, one with Vett underpinnings & one with 04 GTO drivetrain!

 

Yes...they give me ****, but at least it is all bolt on equipment, so if someone buys it someday and wants to run springs they can.....

 

Well, It's not a compact but you don't see a whole lot of these around. Here's a couple pics of my 53 Suburban I haven't posted here before.
