Last Fall I picked up a 57 Ranch Wagon off a fellow Hamber to build into a driver. As everyone knows, time gets away from us and I have finally got some things done on it. It was a pretty solid wagon with a 292 and automatic that ran (needed transmission work). Below is a picture of the day I brought it back to Ohio from Illinois.
After getting it home, I installed a different transmission and got it running with a tune-up. It needed some metal work in the floors and quarters, as well as some re-dos of previous repairs. But after the metal work, it started coming around.
Nice work. I had a 59 2dr ranch wagon in that same color combo. The 57/58s have a much better roof treatment though.
Lookin good! I always liked that color combo. My aunt had a 57 four door Country Squire when I was a kid with those colors. My dipshit cousin totaled it and she ended up with a Rambler!!
That's a huge project...tweaks my bolts..sir I tip my hat to ya ...another one going back on the road...get it..get it!!!
sweeeet!! I loves me tu-door long roofs. had three myself and miss them all. Great work and love that color combo. Most excellent brother
Man this is looking great!! We are dragging our '57 home next weekend. This makes me anxious to start!
I bet I have had a hundred people ask me what color green I used on our wagon, so I want to be one of the first to ask you the same question, it's beautiful. HRP
