Might have found my wagon

See my post above. Just how far away is your door? We don't need the physical address or the owner's name. But it may help!

 

Looking at 10 days before it is in my driveway.
Only 2500 miles away.
Rebuilt 401 Nailhead/ St 3 speed auto trans.Originally a 2 speed ?
Power drum brakes,with new hardware,shoes.
Power steering of course.
Power Bench Seat/Power rear window,both work
Gauges all work,speed odometer/gas gauge work also
18" american racing hopster wheels, wider in rear
lowered by cutting springs, have factory originals also.
Interior is pretty clean except for one hole on the front seat bottom
Door panels are good
dash is good
Body has a few rust spots,dents, original paint I believe and never restored.
Owner drives it to car shows,ect and has put around 2000 miles on it.
I wanted a solid driver with the low roof line look and not messed with to much. I think this fits the bill. Will post some more pics soon here.

 

The worst area of rust on the entire wagon.

 

I was not looking for a show car. I want a driver. I will be fixing the rust down the road but No complete paint job. I wonder if I can find a new/repro seat cover for the bottom front bench seat.

 

Looks like you found a great cruiser. I'd love to have a bigger wagon for longer trips. I've had many Buicks from a 1949 thru 1956 and ridden in newer ones into the 70's. They were all like floating on a cloud and fairly quiet.
This is an unusual wagon and hopefully is in good shape. Sure don't see them around here. I'd get something done to the front seat, clean the wagon up, and drive the wheels off it.

 

This is your best bet to match the upholstery. SMS - They're in Portland, Oregon

Congrats! I like it!

 

Thanks ! I don't even have it yet and I feel like Im already working on it.

 

Nothing wrong with that!

 

Yep , I can't wait to get it here.

 

You are! You're in the planning stage of your build............

 

So you got it? Great wagon. Wanted it myself but I have too many cars already.

 

I only wish I could have sold you mine. lol

 

Hey John, yes I talked the owner quite a few times and it sounded like a solid wagon. He has done a lot to it over the years and has driven it to many car shows,etc and told me it runs good. He sent many pics which helped in my decision. Thanks for your help.
