1959 Rambler Cross Country Custom Wagon project

Love the wagon. Check with NAPA on the carburator.
And yes, those color chips are never exact.

 

Thanks, ordered the paint and will be doing the jams when it gets in and some others. I'm keeping it as original as possible! Love your wagon BTW! I'm keeping it as original as possible!

This car is worse than my Maverick to get parts for LOL Love it though and thanks again!

 

Grandparents wanted to give me their like new very low mileage 1959 Rambler 4-door in early 60's when they could no longer drive. I didn't want that old granny's car.
It was a similar color with black fins and other trim.
Now I'd love to own it.

 

It's too bad you didn't keep the car or get it!

You know this body work stuff is a killer LOL... Trying to get everything perfect. I keep checking and finding more stuff wrong Or finding more, I should say, little imperfections that would probably stand out and scream you missed me after painting.

Right now I go out at different times of the day and look for them and I keep finding them. The car looks like it has a lot of zits ahahahaha... I should probably have taken it down to metal like the Maverick...

 

OK engine and trans back and in the car, waiting on a water pump now

It's getting there, found a welder for the rust, got both fenders also so I can replace those on the car!

 

The Holley carb should have a stamping on the base of the carb or on side of the float bowl, sometimes they are tricky to find. You're looking for a number in this type of sequence:R1598-1A, R1598-2A, R1598...Etc. If it's a one barrel carb there is really only one kit, Napa part no. 2-5195 line code CRB. Retails for $43.00. The Salt lake DC stocks it. A local jobber should be able to get it for you.

 

I have a friend in FLA that owns a Carb Co.. "Daytona carb Co." go on line to find,, tell him Rambler Phil in Louisville KY sent you. he'll know what you need to rebuild the carb.. or call me.. I think I sent you my # awhile back.
