    IMO, late 50's wagons are going to be appreciating in value compared to some other old vehicles. This one would make a good project, but the cost of admission seems a bit steep.

    It screams Impala but its not. Had the Imp front clip and the bat wing rear end, this one isnt beyond hope and with a little spit and polish could be a nice driver. I guess the Parkwood is the Imp without the bells and buzzers. In 59 the Impala was still the top end of the Chevrolet lineup.

    Top of the line wagon for '59 was the Nomad. As far as trim for the wagons, it went like this:
    Nomad = Impala
    Parkwood = Bel Air
    Brookwood = Biscayne

    So this one is basically a mid-range Bel Air

    Now I'm really confused.......

    Wasn't aware of the Kingswood model, which looks pretty much like the Nomad, except for the chrome 'hash mark' in the middle of the side molding trim on the rear door.

    So what did the Nomad have that the Kingswood didn't?

    Roof rack mounting position

    This is the first wagon that I have seen with the rack mounted at the front of the roof. It would help shift the load more to the front, but it does look weird.
