Features Alllllll the Longroofs.....Let's see 'em boys

Another shot of that killer Sedan Delivery of Rob's...

 

does this count as a longroof?

 

based on a wagon... I counted my 60 Chevy SD

 

OK, I admit I did not go through all the pages, but I did spend an hour looking. Here is my newest project, going to keep the 6 banger and ad a T5 and S10 rear end.

Are you doing disc brake conversion?

 

Yo Shagginwagon. I really dig your wagon. I have a 63 with a very similar color - and just got some torque thrust wheels for it.

What white walls are those - and what did you do to the ride?

Thanks!

 

Just sold this 64 Studebaker earlier this year.....I started to miss it as soon as the tail lights disappeared.

 

Yes, I would eventually like to ad discs to the front. But it looks like I have to convert to firewall mount if I want power, no one makes a under floor in the stock location for a standard trans.

Jim

 

As well you SHOULD have!!

 

Are you sure you need power? My 40 tudor has non-power discs, and it isn't a scary proposition, although it does take more pressure. The big downside is that my right leg has gotten HUGE!!

 

Here's a shot of our wagon the 64 Country Sedan at a camper rally this past summer

 

Looks great.

Is that the stock trim - or did you costomize it? Looks the the rear end of a country sedan with the front pieces removed.

 

Here's mine. 1963 ford country sedan. 100% original except for maint parts. 352, 3 speed auto, 2bbl dual exhaust. Santa is bringing me a new edelbrock intake, Holley 4bbl and torque thrust wheels for Christmas. Planning on lowering a bit when I do the wheels and tires.

 

mine. Hope everyone had a MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy New Year

 

HA! I get to post this!! THE longest of longroofs http://barnfinds.com/longest-find-of-the-day-1974-pontiac-catalina-airporter/

 

along with a lot of other cool cars, the end scenes in the Movie Hearts in Atlantis" had a Rambler like this wagon.

 

Sold this last year but had a blast with it when I owned it.

 

Who would have thought just lowering and adding decent wheels and tires would make these old grandma wagons look so good?

 

Before and after

 

^^^^I like 63 ford wags, center caps will also make a big difference ^^^^

 

Heres a more recent pic of my 1964 Dodge 330 wagon, got some fresh paint on the back half, and pulled the back seat for reupholstering this week.

 

I remember my folks had one of these back in the early 60s. It was likely what they could afford after they had to sell their new '60 Buick Invicta they weren't able to get its clutch repaired for. I still remember that Buick and I couldn't have been more than 4 years old. It was gorgeous, even to little old me, then.

 

A stick shift '60 Buick?? That was a rare one.

 

@English Falcon
Wow
I haven't seen this delivery around Portland for years, wondered what happened to it.
The first time I saw it, it was at the Falcon business, I was looking for a 4 speed hump and shift boot for my roadster project.
I always liked it, partly because of it's rarity, but also partly because I'm actually a Nova guy and was mad that Chevy never made an equivalent model, but it really is a cool car.
Curious how you happened upon it, also thinking your mates must think it quite an odd little car from the states, it must get a lot of looks from people in the UK huh.

 

In high school in the 60's, a friend of mine had a 57 Buick 2dr sedan with a stick.

 

Thanks for the effort on cleaning it up and for being a "Super Moderator" on the HAMB

 

Fine '56 Ford 2 door wagon on Barret Jackson.

Too bad they took the pix on that distracting Roger Rabbit checkerboard floor. Although it does make it appear the panels are very straight indeed.
