  5. I always liked the tutone MoPars of the late '50s. I don't know the exact name of the colors, but I had a crush on a girl whose parents had a '57 Dodge four door that was coral and charcoal. Ford had a version of that combo in '57, too.

    1956 Chevy ultimate 60’s look and build.

    Hello,

    My wife and I have seen this two toned 1956 Chevy station wagon on several roadway sightings. One was crossing paths in an intersection, near an old industrial building complex in San Juan Capistrano and other times on PCH coastal highway. But, the last time we saw it parked was next to our favorite tile store and buildings. But, also, there were several surf industry company office and warehouse buildings right next door.

    So, where was the owner? Assuming station wagons and surf industry would be a good guess, so the owner may have worked or been visiting the warehouse facilities of the surf companies. We took several shots and move on in the narrow roadway.

    The color was a standard color for 1956, as our cousins in Long Beach back in 1958 had a mild custom 4 door hardtop sedan with a similar two tone color, as their family car and local cruiser.

    Note: from another thread

    My wife and I have been living in So Cal since we were little kids. We have adjusted well to the changes from those early days to the current pandemic environment. It is being able to adapt to any situation for our family. Since we are now surviving like most, the So Cal scene is still viable and the places we used to go for beach activities are still there.

    Only, now, it is seen with older, wiser eyes and lots of memories. Station wagons have played a big part of our growing up years and family issues. So, when we saw a cool looking blue/white 56 Chevy station wagon near by the Amtrak Train Station and industrial tract in 2019, we had to take some photos and wonder about the owner.

    In this portion of So Cal, the 56 Chevy surf wagons are still around and running daily. It has the classic look of a very clean station wagon with great looking American Racing Equipment 5 spokes. This 1956 Chevy Station Wagon would definitely look good in our small two car garage.

    In my research, I found that the 1956 2 door post wagon belongs to this ex-firefighter and now custom surfboard shaper. What a combo. His finished wooden surfboards are outstanding and would also look good on a wall of our current house.

    But, since the original sighting in early 2019, it has been mysteriously missing from the surf spots in and around the OC beaches. We also have not seen it cruising around the area where we first saw it parked. Either he is surfing a lot or making more fine historic wooden surfboards…

    Then in the middle of Summer, 2022, we saw it parked in front of a dental office as we were going to the local bank and gas station.

    I have owned a few orange cars and I have a soft spot for the cream cycle look.
