Man, that is beautiful! Congratulations. Is this the only wagon you have, now that you passed the 58 along? Or does this one get to share the garage with another?
I slobbered again! Can I live in your garage? I promise not to touch the cars and clean up bread crumbs.
I drove around all those years with vacuum wipres, because I didn't even know they were an option. The padded dash either. Oh, well.
I remember my first two cars and some antique cars with vacuum wipers. Just when I really needed them, to climb a hill or pass, they'd stop sucking. That really sucked. But when on a car that wasn't used for years those vacuum wipers were easy to reseal. I remember buying '57 Chevy electric wiper motors for under $10 at swap meats. Last I read they are several hundred now. My '55 wagon does not have the old cable system anymore. We replaced it with modern under dash motor and rods.
