    Yeah - I know the one it's a green 2-door, right?

    I'll look it up. It was on a few months ago (for over $5k, and it had been sitting for years.

    But looked really nice. Figured it sold.
    Too bad about the open windshield, in that climate. Wonder what all got damaged in the dash and floor.

    Ad was pulled for a while, but I had wanted to see those pics again. THANKS.

    These are around but not a whole lot of them. A very underappreciated species in my opinion. A couple of pix of my last 56 Plymouth Suburban and a shot of my current project, which I hope to make a Kingsway, a Canadian model featuring Dodge frontend and Plymouth rear half. That Florida wagon is my pal John's, a sweet rig for the price. And Patrick66 sold his 56 Plymouth 2-dr Suburban a while back. Mine is a big project but I am determined to get er done! ~Sololobo~

    That's my wagon. I was asking $3200 as that's about what I have in it, but have it up for $3k firm now. Hate to sell it as it's the most solid untouched wagon I've seen, but times are tight. Don't know where the $3800 came from

    This one was for sale here last month. $1800 firm. If I had the $$ and it was cheaper I would have dragged it home. Seems a little steep with no motor or trans

    Not very traditional build but you might like it. Took a little over four years of work to finish. The body had a lot of issues that required almost forty patch panels to be made.

    I did all the work except the plating (Royal Plating in Tucson) and the interior (Lui Contras in Glendale, AZ)

    We have put over 7000 miles on her since she hit the road in July.

    Its interesting that the 56 dodge fins never made it onto the wagon... only the little chrome afterthought finettes...

    Yep, it cost too much to tool a new quarter for a short run body so they opted to use a 1955 body for the wagon with the JC Whitney add on fins. Not totally sure but I think that the DeSoto and Chrysler wagons in 56 had the same fate. The higher volume Plymouth was allowed to have real fins.
    Due to the low production volumes the fins and tail light bezels are hard to find if you don't have them...

  20. I bought the wagon above. Very complete except for glass. I am seeking a TAIL GATE GLASS. Fits any '55-56 Plymouth or Dodge station wagon. Any leads? I'd buy a complete upper tail gate to get the glass. Thanks.
