    Recently purchased my wagon, was looking for a two door hardtop, but came across this wagon and couldn't resist buying it. It has. 289 auto, ps and disc brakes. 62,000 miles original interior new paint, spare never on the ground. We drive to town weekly to the Sonic for burgers and always have people stop and talk to us about it. Some people think it's a Hearst. One young man wanted to know what it was, had never seen a "wagon". We love it. Bones

    We're not picky here. Even pictures of your other toys are welcome. By the way :Welcome: to the forum. Seems like you found a nice wagon. Even my old '55 Chevy wagon gets called an ambulance and dead body hauler. We need to get out and edjekate peeple.:Handshake:

    Welcome aboard the wagon train.
    That is a fine looking automobile you have there. I can relate to your comment about folks stopping to talk to you about it.
    I am glad to hear that you are able to use and enjoy it.

    welcome to the only home for wagon people, nice wagon, am totally partial to "square" wagons. Took the Colony Park out this week, getting gas someone wanted to look inside, parked at my store & took me another 20 minutes to walk in because once again - history lesson on wagons.
    it's fun, Ferrari's; Jags; Maserati's might be more flashy - but a wagon gets everyone's emotions going, because once upon a time everyone had 1

    Welcome to the forums! Looks to be a nice acquisition of a longroof. I am partial to mid-sixties wagons. I own a 65 olds custom vista cruiser, as said by others when ever I get it out there are a few people who need a history lesson but that's all part of the fun of ownership of such a unusual car! Again welcome and enjoy your stay....Longroofs Rule!
