Projects Bought a 1956 dodge sierra wagon...thoughts?

Hey Hambers!
New to the forum and I just picked up this old gal lol. 1956 dodge sierra wagon. pretty much all there as in engine, trans, seat frames, stainless/ chrome trim. odo shows 16xxx miles with a midas service sticker on the driver door showing 9,200 miles. she seems like a low mileage find. Definitely ugly (but that's what I like). From my research this car is pretty rare. what do yall educated rodders think?

 

Paid 800 btw

 

She's a peach and, I suspect, you'll get to meet some new neighbors.

 

I've had a few folks from the neighbor hood spot by and ask what year my "cheby" was lol

 

For $800 you stole it.Now drive it that way.

 

Tom McCahill bought one new. If you find a couple of Labrador retrievers in the glove compartment it may be his old one.

Seriously, they are a cool car and the wagons are rare. By 56 they had a decent V8 engine, 2 speed auto trans and 12V electrics (first year). It will make a great driver with no modification.

 

Yep, going to get it fired back up. throw minimal interior in it for now and "sunday putt" it around.

 

from what I found, I am the 3rd owner. I even snatched up the original title from 1958 when the guy finally paid it off and got the lien released. he paid 845.00 for it in 1958. ill post the title pic when I get home tonight for people like us who dig that old stuff

 

Very rare car, you will never find any of the wagon only trim or other wagon only parts if any are missing. Should be very cool when shiney and finished.

 

I like it, from another wagon owner. That dash looks awesome! Bones

 

Graft some 56 car fenders on the rear. I dunno why they kept the 55 body style on the 56 wagon.

 

I think something is amiss on the price he paid for the wagon.

Check this out. HRP

Maybe that's what was owed?Or was that the 2nd owner?

 

COOL car! Go here for parts....https://www.wildcatmopars.com/

 

It was already 2 years old in 58, used car prices may not have been much.

 

Thanks!!

 

Hard to tell. I will post a title pic for everyone to digest tonight. all the input is greatly appreciated guys!

 

Old wagons Rule!! Especially the 4 doors imo. Killer $core.. welcome by the way, Cheer's

 

Thanks !

 

Cool looking car
And at that price it’s basicly free !! Good score

 

Love that dash, good score.

 

Looks like the perfect wagon for a Jr stocker or a M/P....IMHO. . Great find! Looking fwd to see what comes of it!
