Hi All! I have a small collection of cars between my dad and I. We have a '30 Model A 2 dor sedan (kind of a station wagon) a , a '62 valiant signet 200, a '63 corvair monza trurbo vert, a '87 trans am (under resto), a '93 Camaro Ultra-Z and a '56 chevy 150 that we have weird plans for. What brings me here is our 2 wagons. We have a '60 Dodge Seneca and a '61 Valiant. The Seneca is done and we drive and show it alot. It gets a lot of looks and a lot of questions, mainly - "What is it?" Tha Valaint just got out of paint and is getting put back together. It will be show ready by the end of the summer. the '56 chevy is a 2 door sedan that is shoti n the rear. The pans we have are to make a woody wagon out of what is left of it. That is why i am here, to look around at other cool wagonas and get ideas and such. Attached are pictures of the 2 mopars
Welcome Jay. Great looking project wagons. When you get time add some photos of your other cars. If it's goot wheels most of us love it. I also love your shop.
Welcome, Jay, the Seneca is beautiful; I don't see a whole lot of Mopar wagons from the early 60's; your's is very nice and it looks like the Valiant's going to be just as gorgeous as well. Be sure to post some pics when it gets done. By the way, I wouldn't call 6 cars a "small collection". I've got 1; that's a small collection!!
Welcome! Those are some great looking wagons you have there. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, for the Chevy.
Thanks all for the welcome. Very cool pace here! We have yet to see another copy of either of the wagons at shows. The shop the wagons are in is my dads, I have a slightly smaller one with a 2 post lift. We just made the "booth" in his shop earlier this year. Sorry for the quality of some of the pictures. Feel free to browse my PB - http://s4.photobucket.com/user/TheKeenans/library/?sort=3&page=1 HEre are a few pics of the other cars:
Jay...........that's a nice collection of cars you got there. I'm kinda the same, got six in my collection, 5 over 40 years old. I've got them in various stages, too........from done to disassembled. I'm not trying to tell you your business, but the trim on your 56 is exactly like what's on mine and mine's a 210. Did someone switch trim on yours, or could yours be a 210 also? Keep us up to date with your progress on the fleet. Bill
Thanks! Yep, someone re trimmed it. The vin shows 150. The rear quarters were replaced poorly ages ago and I think it was when the trim was added. The trim hid the line of rivits.... i paid way too much for it. Live and learn. We are going to cut it behind the b pillars and build a wood wagon rear. Dad is an excellent wood worker and I think it is going to be nice and different. It will have a rubber roof like the model a, and we will integrate the 56 tail lights. Front doors will be steel, so it won't be a true woody, but at least we can sabe what is left. Dad just got some new moulding heads and is planning on replicating alot of the pot metal trim in wood.
Nice collection. Thanks for the pictures. We have another member who did a real nice job on his '56 Chevy making it into an ElCamino. Check it out. Click on the link and he's got a picture of it two or three postings down. http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=314435#post314435
