    Scored this long wanting of another '57 Ford Country Sedan wagon. Had one in '66 as my race car tow vehicle. 3 spd overdrive.
    My now score is a 292, auto. And really kool. Power steering, power brakes, dropped spindles, air, tissue dispenser.
    A real cruiser.

    That is slick! Love the long roofs. Looks like all it needs is a bunch of miles and memories.
     
  3. Very nice! Where did you find that little cupcake?

    Love it. We had a '58 Ford wagon when I was a kid. It was lowered and had 312 engine. I thought it was very cool back then. Secretly I liked the '57s Ford's front end better though.

    I had a really nice 57 for a while. Sold it to @Lancer and then he sold it to @Malcolm I believe. Not sure if it is still owned in the hamb family.

    Nice find. They are great riding cars. I've had my '57 Ford wagon for 23 years. I bought it to clean up a little and resell.....but I like it so much I haven't sold it yet. I rebuilt the 292 in it back in 2000. If I was doing it again today, I'd probably go with a 460 so I could pull a trailer with it.

    Online....quite a few out there. Decided to gamble...sight unseen. Few bruises....nothing major...someone did V air, old time radio, dropped spindles and disc brakes, PS, new wheels/tires/hubcaps, new dual exhaust,.
    Lots of nicnacks....but drives nice...
