    Me too! Thanks. Lookin good!:yippee:

    More memories. Learned to drive in the high schools 55 Chevy 4-door and grandpa's 54 Chevy 150 4-door that same color! I remember spending hours in the garage going thru the gears without the engine running.
    Grandpa's was also blue and white inside.

    Great clean-up job. That linoleum stuff in that back - did you replace it or is that just cleaned? Looks excellent.

    The kind of job you did is worthy of a few more details - do tell us please!

    Thanks

    Great job with the wagon and the photos. Sure don't look like the engine my grandpa had in his 54 Chevy that I learned to drive in!;)
