I am not sure what the hell to call this but just put it as surfer style wagons (if that is even a style haha). Anyways as some may know, I recently picked up a 63 Chevy II Wagon to run my business out of and am in the process of body work and paint. I haven't totally decided on a color but I think it will be a greenish color (similar to stock but not quite). The interior will be tan (fawn) and possibly a darker tan or an old tweed look like you may see on vintage guitar cases for the speaker covers (even on old guitar amps). I may throw in some wood grain as well but that's all up in the air right now.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas on interior material, paint, etc? Pictures would be great. Here is a color I am looking at doing: http://www.carcraft.com/featuredvehi...ova/index.html
Oppinions and pictures are greatly appreciated. Like I said, I want to go with the whole vintage surfer styled theme.
Thanks!

I think Surf wagon is a look. I put it back to the So Cal beaches in the 60's. has to have a rake, simple car (not flashy or overly nice) and able to handle a long board. mag wheels and maybe bamboo side curtains (for changing closes)..

Well here is a friend of mines burban from House O Speed in Austin, not a wagon but I think you will appreciate the surfer feel of it.

Cindy Rascke aka Crash painted all the tiki stuff

That Austin Suburban is the coolest surf wagon on the planet!! I have drooled over it every time I have been lucky enough to see it. I am putting a few surf touches to my Suburban (Plymouth). But it will pale in comparison to this bad ass rig!! Super kudos to Cindy for the sweet paint work!! It is a long way to the beach in Nebraska!!~Sololobo~

Voodoowagon, I think you're ready for your next project. I think that rig would be perfect for this part of the country so maybe you wanna trade straight up for a low milage beauty. She's all ready for surfin ' duty. Howz-a-bout-a cream puff 1990 Buick Estate Wagon??/

I can feel your giving it some thought...

No? - - - Damn.

Sir, you knocked one out of the park with that beauty. Congrats.

Neat paint work... real talent there... Nice job.

40oz. · 11-26-2008, 10:31 AM

nice burb. real nice. no sandy neoprene ever been in there. all of my "surf wagons" have been a cheap anything with rain gutters for a rack and a good heater and room for a 3 or 4 board quiver. mostly something crappy so it dont get busted in to when im not at the home break.

dotcentral · 11-26-2008, 11:17 AM

I like the falcon console shifter cover on that Sub.

Shawn F. · 11-26-2008, 03:10 PM

Any idea what that material is on the front side of the dash? I think that would be cool in the door panels! I like the interior touches and the bamboo/wood effects.

Thanks!

YEAH, it takes some walking around the burb to really notice a lot of the unique stuff that was done

Shawn F. · 11-26-2008, 09:11 PM

That would be great, thanks!

I like the blue one two pics above that thing is nice! I like the blue and off white (cream) roof posts.

**hotroddon** · 11-27-2008, 11:22 AM

This was my wife's. It now lives in New Zealand where it is still a surfer wagon on the North Island. Although I did keep the original 60's Aloha Surf Racks
