Hot Rods Station wagons

Sorry for the bad angle but it had bad wheels! JW

 

From Model Cars Magazine forum......

 

Here is a contribution.

 

I was looking at '64 Country Sedans on Bring A Trailer last night... I had a couple of them and always liked the big Fords.

 

I love wagons,i'm seeing some really great ones in the above post. I got my first used wagon in 64,a 57 2D Ford { had a bad 6 in it,I put in a Y-V8 272,and was great for a few years. Replaced it another used wagon.
I've had to this point in time 18 used wagons,never new,added trailer hitch to every one,do to using all of them as both every day an tow for my race cars/trailer. I may be on my last wagon, a used 05 Dodge Magnum. Going on 82 YO. But most weekends now days,,still drive my 28A hotrod.

 

Nice Mayflower at Garden Grove Main Street tonite!

 

I went to HS with a rich kid, something happened to both parents and he lived with grandma. He was heir to a large company at age 16. He drove around with an immaculate woodie, maybe a Nash? In time it was not so immaculate and bent on a couple of corners.

 

Like in 1956 this is just our daily driver.

 

Hello,

With a little creativity, those highly paid designers could have stayed with the 55-57 Nomad design and used it on a 58 Impala station wagon as a 2 door. The four door could have also used a “hardtop” version, too. Similar to the 4 door hardtop sedans. So much for the nice try on the factory produced, 1958 “Nomad” wagon…
A hot rod Impala surf wagon, alas, 2 door Nomad Style would have sold tons to the general public, let alone hot rod/surfers for their adventures.


Another version of the 2 door style 1958 Impala Nomad Style wagon could have been a contender, too.

For those that like sedan deliveries instead of station wagons there would also be one for you. Once the 2 door wagon was made, a simple panel in the place of the rear side windows would make a private sedan delivery.

348 C.I. 315 h.p. 4 speed, A/C, 3:55 Positraction gears, and a one piece raising rear door. Fast, efficient for long distance road trip adventures and secure to boot. YRMV

 

This Tri-Power 348, came as a stock item in this particular 58 Nomad.
