Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
On Saturday I had a '57 Olds Fiesta Wagon done '50s custom style pass in the opposite direction up on the mountain. It had the scallop paint job, lower in rear, creamy color with bronze accents/top. Very cool to see.
I have this one more '60 Fomoco wagon picture. Edsel! I think this is a custom or a concept. Pretty sure Olds never did a Nomad version. Their wagons had such nice lines with 4drs as it was.

Some beautiful old wagons here. I sure miss my old 71 Vista Cruiser.

Like this 1950 Olds sedan delivery. They were made in extremely low numbers and never sold to the public. I was lucky enough to see one at either Goodguys or GNRS. I can't remember which. But I remember that car. It was beautiful. This pic may be the one I saw. ![]()

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Those are so cool. Did you know in the mid-50s they sold Pontiac Sedan Deliveries as GMCs? I had advertising info on another computer that pooped out. searching is frustrating because so many people confuse panel trucks with sedan deliveries. You search GMC sedan delivery and you get panel trucks.
That mica paint sure works on those rolly polly bodies. My buddy who is a sign painter/air brush artist has one of these he did back in the hippy days. 100% mural on a baby blue base. It transitions from daylight with puffy clouds to a night storm sky. He may have been high when he 'dreamed' it up ![]()

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Oooh… sexy little thing. That's somebody's baby. I always liked how the rear wheel openings were "cut-out" of the Dart and Valiant wagons. Slant 6 I bet. Notice the hitch?
I would love to have this as my grocery getter to come down off the mountain with (if I lived up on the mountain)

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I'd like to work out of a sedan delivery like that. I always dreamed of living in a pleasant little picturesque town being the town carpenter/builder guy with a fleet of cool trucks. Start with a Harley Servicar for the lightest stuff, Sedan Delivery, Advance Design Panel and 1.5t dump truck. Of couse a cool pickum up.
In the mountains might go more with '60-'72 4wd stuff. K/20 Panel and a NAPCO medium duty dump. That's where the 4wd '55 sedan delivery comes in. You have to be practical when it comes to business you know ![]()

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Now there's a traveling machine! I had a guy working for me, brother in law for a while, who drove a metallic blue '76 Malibu Classic we used to all pile in and go places in. A fun machine! His had rallies with narrow whitewalls, but otherwise just like this
I have a hard time reading articles written by opinionate snobs. He starts right off with stating his opinion as fact that station wagons are not cool. Well, I absolutely disagree. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure others will enjoy it ![]() I haven't really gotten into woodies in this thread. I think they could have their own thread. It seems there is endless material for steel wagons as it is, plus in a woodies thread we would have truck based woodies to make it another interesting and varied thread. Suburbans fit this thread, but I'm stuck on the car platform

![]() For those that don't think wagons are cool. I think a lot of that goes back to childhood. Back then they weren't cool. They were what our mom's piled us into. We all wanted hot rods or muscle cars. Or at least I did. It's all a matter of perspective. These days I would buy a wagon in a hot second. My wife's stepdad had a Studebaker Hawk that she was embarrassed to ride in as a kid. Now she looks for them on CL. If she finds the right one I might just find it parked in my driveway. Times change. So do opinions.

I just find it hard to find a writer who comes from the ranks and can write unpretentiously. They can have their opinions but those should be stated as such, not as an authoritative fact. I admit, I am harder to please than some. And my opinion is mine. I hope others enjoy the article and thanks for sharing. I'm just into the pictures

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I'm partial to Cadillac's.
![]() I almost bought an Eldorado convertible once. But it was fried like someone put it in a microwave. Too bad. I had the money in my pocket and had to walk away even though I really wanted it. But it just screamed problems. ![]() But my son in law has a really nice Eldorado convertible. So all I need to do now is wait for when he's not looking and grab the keys. ![]() Here is a really bad pic of it. ![]()
