Folks Of Interest STATION WAGONS ~ JUST HAMBER OWNED

Basically the same for me, except it was mid-60's and I was the Dad........always had a wagon in the driveway, used for usual daily chores including kids from football games dirty as hell......by mid-70's, kids were driving and I always welcomed them to use my wagon, but not allowed to touch/drive mine or family cars........they frequently preferred to "hit the shoe leather" than be seen driving a wagon.........40 yrs later to today, they all think my 65 Impala wagon is the greatest & joke with their own kids about "when Gramps made us drive his wagon".........go figure........

 

1964 countrysedan, I had a 64 like that and she had no rust being a T.N. car and it had the wood grain sides. It also had a real nice red interior .I still remember driving thru the Wagreens drug store drive thur and the old guy wouldn't let me go at the window. He just asking me questions about it. He couldn't belive the shape it was in. I finally had to go .I had a line of cars behind me honking their horns to move . but it was worth it.Out of all my station wagons I miss that one the most.Bruce.

 

I remember that when you first got it home . Boy you worked some magic on her. Bruce.

 

triman, I like them but that going to take some beer there. LOL. Bruce

 

I am amazed at all the guys here that own wagons,they are all cool! HRP

 

Mine.

 

OMG! My long lost twin brother!

 

Yah, They could be twins. I been watching for your wagon Timmy. If you weren't going to post a picture of it I was. ha ha. Ron...

 

Oh the work begins 54 buick

 

Man I hope you like beer.I don't know how much beer{REALLY IT WASNT BEER BUT CROWN ROYAL} LOL. I went thru working on my 56 buick station wagon.I was almost ready to take up smoking again too.LOL.Bruce.{BEFORE}

 

After. Bruce.

 

I just picked this up 2 months ago - 62 Bel Air. I first saw it a year ago - it was owned by a friend of my neighbor - and he decided he didn't want it anymore so I was able to get it done. My wife has that 31 Roadster (profile pic) but I wanted more of a family cruiser. It's got the original 327/250 with a TH350. Working on cleaning up a few bits in the engine bay, wiring and I'd like to get wide white radials with 15" wheels but basically just want to keep it as is - maybe get a vintage camper to haul around and camp in.

 

Heres my 1964 Dodge 330 wagon. I've had it for two years, been slowly fixing it up.

Love the wagons, hope to join you guys as an owner of one some day. Where's Cody Walls' wagon? He should post up a pic - it's amazing!

 

das858, I like your dodge station wagon .Its different . You work like I do .SLOWLY. LOL. Bruce.

 

You can send the 55 up here if you cant find time to work on it and just want to get it out of your way.
I like it! .....I will let you keep the custom antenna though....

 

My daily driver.

 

Cool wagon but Im more impressed at the load of wood you have on the pick up

 

Couple more of mine. Loving this thread HRP!

 

Here is my semi daily driver 57 Chevy Wagon. This car was built in CA spent some time in OK and came to Missouri in the late 70's and promptly parked outside for 35 years. I bought it in 2013 and did a mechanical restoration on it and drove it and enjoyed it for 2 years. It has 65 327 with period correct speed parts on it. It has been apart again and I just recently got it back together from replacing floor pans, and doing some work on the a-pillars and windshield channels. I installed air conditioning and some new glass and new seals on all the glass. I have all new original style interior to install, but I haven't had time to get it all installed yet. I am driving it to the Meltdown Drags this weekend and will race it there. this is my favorite car that I own and I have no plans to get rid of it, but I am jealous of all the 56 Nomads posted here.

 

Here's the one I got from Hot Rod Cowboy:



It's getting some improvements done this summer, and hopefully back on the road soon.

 

Couple Pictures of my old 55 wagon.

 

Here's my Nomad 'Shirley'. It's a 283/270 horse with t400.
Pretty much a daily driver.

Dan, you forgot to tell 'em you just recently drove it from Arkansas to California and back, not to mention the Hot Rod Hundred in June! Great car!

 

Here's mine, it hasn't looked like this for several years, it is currently half apart for rust repair, front clip, engine/trans swap etc.
