    Hubby confirms that yes, new brake and fuel lines will be added. He remembers the conversation with our mechanic. :)

    Nice.
    I'd run those through the dishwasher and break out the model paint = Good as new.

    Dave and I are mulling that over, Manderthal. I've scrubbed them off and we're getting our game plan together.

    Any suggestions about repainting them are welcomed.

    This will help to date me...........back in college, I had a job in a drug store, a little Mom and Pop place. One of my duties was to deliver prescriptions. You guessed it, the delivery vehicle was a 1959 Chevy wagon, 4 door, 6 cyl, 3 speed. Ah, the memories from 50 years ago............

    That's why we're moving to Memory Lane!

    If I had those hubcaps I'd very carefully try to work those dents out. It can be done. If only I could remember how!:slap:

    Nope. Our foreathers and five mothers had regular old farm wagons and the rich ones used Studebaker wagons after the Studebaker brothers added wagons to their line of plows and other farm equipment. Us kids had to walk along side and help some kid named Jonny plant apple seeds.
