    That's pretty neat. Nash Metropolitans were cute little cars.

    I may be just a young naive man, but I always thought wagons were pretty cool. 2 door wagons even cooler.
    I'd probably still take a standard car or truck before a wagon but wagons are still cool.

  3. No sir, To me a '55 Chevy 2 door post car looks like a hot rod, I prefer them over hardtops. . HRP

    Yep, I also prefer 2-door post cars over hardtops.

    This belongs to the wife of the late author Clive Cussler. The exotic woods replaced the plastic on this Mercury wagon

    The only cars I made money on were woodies.

  8. I had a La Salle Hearse just like this in 1958 - pretty cool wagon with all red velvet interior. Kept beer and ice in one of the fender well tire covers and carved wood curtains.

    I could see myself with beater, mild custom wagon. I need to haul stuff regularly. Might as well look cool.

  12. My '63 BelAir. This car is seriously fun to drive and I love piling the kids in it and cruising Woodward in the summer. When the first snow hits, before the salt trucks come out, I like to find a parking lot and do a mess of donuts :)
