Customs Looking for a Station Wagon to build...?

I am looking for ideas on a cool wagon to build. I love station wagons and want to build one. I had a 1960 Chevy Brookwood 2 door, but had to sell it because of ex wife. I am a brain storm of trying to select a new ideas for another car. Couple rules it has to be a 2 door, would like cool body lines, has to be odd (nothing that you see all the time), 4 doors are ok as long as its not a HUGE car. Everyone has Chevy II wagons and Falcons. Give me some Ideas guys and dolls if you have pics and maybe a location to look would be great. I would like the starter car to be real cheap so I can build on it.....LOL dont we all.....

By the way it needs to be a 1966 or older car. I dont want to deal with emissions.

The 50's mopar wagons are cool...I have a 54 and like it because you don't see them everyday...the later 50's are cool with the fins...another cool one is the 1960 ford two door wagons...check out the longroof thread on here...tons of pics of cool wagons

 

Thanks man I will check it out...

There was a black one of these on e-bay about 6 months ago that I almost bought. I went for less than $5,000. I love the lines and it is absolutely unique. When was the last time you saw one??

 

Ranch wagons and the mercurys are cool keep them coming man.

 

Here are a few more oddities.

 

i'm selling a 1960 Pontiac Laurentian Safari wagon in the classifieds if you're interested

 

A few of my faves

'55 Merc:

 

If you were not so far away, I know where there are a couple of 55-57 Canadian Pontiac Safari's and Custom Safaris. Pontiac nomads!

 

65' Chevelle 2 door wagon??? Tough to find but they're out there. Look killer done right too... Another favorite of mine is a Plymouth Suburban 2dr wagon. They have a lot of potential and can be found very reasonable. Whatever you do, DON'T tell a mopar guy that you want to put a CHEVY in it...

65 Chevelle 2dr wagon...


Here's a 50 Plymouth Suburban

 

I got a '58 Dodge Sierra I would probably part with.Do a search on my posts,(past 6 mos.), and you will see it when I was doing a disc brake upgrade.Then if interested, and serious, P.M. me, and we will talk.

 

1957 Buick Caballero

 

Oz did a killer job on that wagon. Any late 50's - 61 wagons look great. Find an Edsel!

 

55-57 pontiac wagons are reasonable and easy to find parts for but resale is not good...here's my old 55 with cut coils, 3" lowering blocks and whitewalls....

 

THAT Buick Caballero is badd ass I am going to have to start looking for one of them. I would like to find a 59 Rambler Wagon to. Looks like a mini Nomad. I can decide oh no what did I start my brain is hurting. Pontiacs are cool too they ALLL ARRREEEEE... Thanks guys keep them coming please.

Mike

 

I am in Arizona too and have several Pontiac wagon projects, all 4dr, from $1,500-$2,500 including 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964.

Since you've had a '60 Chevy Brookwood wagon, you will know what a '59 Chevy Parkwood wagon looks like. A very unusal-looking, finned vehicle and will turn heads wherever you go. I like mine, but am more into 30s stuff than 50s stuff. If you like '59 Chevies, want to do a trade?

 

here's a pic of the wagon I'm re-building, '51 tin woodie

 

South fork what would you like to trade? Pontiac guy I would like to meet up with you and see the cars and become your FRRIEND....lol

Mike

 

South fork send me a pic please royalldesigns@yahoo.com anyone else can send me pic and info as well.

Mike

 

Do a search on here of "Longroofs" there are a few very long threads that has tons of photos for you to look at ... if you haven't already. Warning you be on it for days.

 

Plymouth 2 door wagon - with fins.

 

If your still shopping I have a 59 Edsel Wagon. Mechanical all new less than 3K miles on it. Licensed and drive anywhere. Needs interior, could use paint. Over all a pretty nice car.

Yeah, the tudor wagon like mine!!! They are everywhere and cheap as well. Parts are everywhere for them. Good luck on your project.~Sololobo~

 

Mike, I'll send you a pic of the '59 Parkwood when I get home. I'm visiting relatives for the Thanksgiving Holiday right now and can't access my picture file.

 

The neatest of the neatest! Leno has one of these. I think this and like a '57 Merc were the only hardtop S/W/s...Cool as hell here ..
