    Good luck selling your car, I have a 2 door 59 Meteor wagon and I love it!

    That is incredible, great find! I have a 59 Suburban limo like that made by Stageway that I hope to have mobile this summer if the weather holds out.

    I've never seen one of those, it seems all the airporters in this area were car, and not truck based. Thanks for posting!

    Hey there da34guy,
    Sorry about that, I sent you an email with some low res pics that night. Did you not get them? Let me know and I can resend. I'll be taking some more pics over the weekend.

    Thanks John!

    From my research this is the largest style they made on this platform, and this is the only example of the biggest ones I can find.

    I have a build thread that I hope to actually contribute to this summer (the last 3 years the weather has been atrocious here and I have no shop)

    Very cool!

    When I was a kid my dad drove a 56 Ford wagon, I have a lot of great road tripping memories in that car. My mom forced him to sell it in 87 and a couple years ago we found it, someone stripped it of all the interior and accessories, but it's still in decent shape otherwise, but they guy that has it right now would rather it rot into the ground then sell it to me, he even offered one of his other wagons to me in better shape for a not bad price, but I want dads wagon. (plus I already have 2 56 Meteor wagons, one is rust free)

    Here is dads 56 in the 80's when I was a kid.

    (interesting note, I was driving that 52 Dodge today, I still use it to plow my snow!)

    Its very cool that you were able to find your Dad's old wagon. Please do a build thread and if you have any ideas for the looks of the car that you'd like photoshopped just let me know.
    I wish I could find the '63 Dodge wagon that was our family car back in the mid '60s. My Dad started teaching me about the mechanics of a car on it and I've been hooked ever since.

    Long roofs, I love them.

    I paid like $300 for an old beater '64 Ford Fairlane 500 4-dr S/W way back in the early '70's and wish that I still had it.

    The engine leaked so much oil that the complete underside, (and car), was RUST-FREE!

    It was a 260" V-8/2-speed auto car.

    I rebuilt the chassis in like 3 months before I licensed it so that it didn't need anything done to it for like 5 years. Drove it for damn near 10 years or so fine!!

    I'd drop the rear seat and throw some pillows and blankets back there and turn my three little kids loose in it.

    But this was way before child safety shit!

    My dad used to do the same thing with his 56 Ford wagon back in the 80's, fold all the seats flat and let my brothers and I loose back there, it was great!

    Here's the '68 wagon 350/350, me and the wife had a blast with this ride…..:)
    [​IMG]Over the years we have owned her, she took us without any major problems to so many places and left behind a lot of good memories….
    After my wife passed away last November, i decided it was time to close the book and start a new chapter, so i sold the wagon :confused:
    'Cause i always take my dogs where ever i go, i needed a practical ride to fill in the gap, and this is the one..:)
    [​IMG]
    It's a '47 DodgePanel with 318/727 and she drives like heaven…
    Also parked in my backyard is my '64 Impala Wagon 327/Powerglide, still not registered for the Dutch roads, but if i finish the list with bits & bobs, i don't think that it's much of a problem…[​IMG]

    Keep them longroofs on the road:D

    That's cool!

    I swear the exact same bus was on kijii last year with the same "going to scrap it on Monday" story.

    It looks quite good, should be a lot of fun!

    Here's my bus http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2563951/1946-ford-cab-chassis

    Here it is new in 46.

    We popped a piston on the used 51 flathead we stuck in it in 84, so this summer if the weather holds out I'm dropping in a 460/C6 for a little more power and less over heating, just a nut and bolt conversion with no cutting or modding though.

    Mine didn't look so cool when I got it-it's amazing what wheels & tires will do for a car. Along with some love & money.
    There are some really nice wagons on this thread. I may be a Mopar guy, but there are a lot of every marque that flip my switch.
