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

Well I get to jump back on this thread now that I have a long roof.. that makes two in my stable.

 

Boones, that Falcon is SWEET!!

 

Just pickup this New Yorker





This is my buddy's long roof

 

The New Yorker is too cool !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's a few pictures of my 1959 English Ford (Escort) wagon. I've owned it since 1973. It has a 215" aluminum Buick, T-10 4-speed, narrowed 9" Ford. About 2 years ago, I chopped the top 4 1/2"

 

Thanks enloe, got some ideas for this wagon, this is what it looked like when I picked it up.

stickers, dummy spots, laker pipes are all off, pin striping off next maybe the skirts and change the wheels.

 

We JUST got ours runnin' tonight. Not much to look at yet but I had to post, so stoked!

Here you go...all stock with a coil cut up front.

 

Anyone want to trade a '55-57 wagon (preferably Ford but I'm open) driver for a '37 chevy coupe gasser survivor? Send me a pm if so.

 

I agree with the lakes pipes and the spots for sure.

 

Do any members know the location of this '56 Ford 2 door wagon? It was featured here in the October of 1990 issue of Rod & Custom.

I sold it back in '90 and haven't seen it since. E-mail me pics if you've seen it [email protected]

Last time I heard it was sold was in '92 or '93 at the Rockford, Illinois auction. . .

THANKS

 

Here are a few more pictures of my wagon from my Dad's post ahile back.

 

Dandingo, If you are having to let off the key before the 56 will start you will need to run a wire from the other terminal on the starter to the distributer I think ??????? (Its been a while since I had to fix my 55) maybe someone else will chime in.

 

That's bad!!!

 

that thing is beautiful...can't remember the last time I saw one of them

 

Thats a Meteor.

 

This thread makes me realize why I selected a wagon. Check out the progress of my 55 Chevy BelAir Wagon in my Profile.

 

Man that 55 is cool! I love it.

 

Now the question is what to do with it next....? PAINT?

 

Nice sedan delivery...just got the new Summit catalog in the mail and there is a feature on a 53 chevy sedan delivery...nice car though I am sorta bummed as it is basically the same colors I just painted my 54 plymouth sedan delivery with...

 

you definately lose something when it becomes "another shiny car".
that said, I always seem to end up painting mine...

 

New guy here. Really dig this site. And I luv the wagons. Yeah, it's just another red and white chevy. But this ain't gonna be a billet barge. Here's where we're(my dad and me) at with it so far. Sorry for the sideways pic. I'm still computer illiterate and impatient.

An updated shot of "IZZY"

 

I dig it...logged alot of time going to little league and pop warner games cruising in one of those...nice

 

I got this Buick just as I was heading to Bonneville, DAMN E-BAY!!!

 

Here are some neat wagons.

 

Currently restoring a 1955 Ford Country Sedan wagon found in a barn in Townville, PA. in May of this year. It's slow going as time and money allow. Looking for guidance at times to stay on the right road. I don't want to make any mistakes. Hoping the wife may come to love this old beauty as much as I do.

 

What a great feeling that must be. (I can only imagine at this point.) looks like you have a good support team. Longroofs Rock! (The original band wagon!)

 

I know I posted these before, but here is my '56 Bucik Special.

Still not finnished, I have the tranny out and am working on all the trim rightnow.

 

I got mine for sale in the classifieds....check it out.
