Thats an oldie I hope gets into the rite hands, I'd bet fresh gas and that slant six would drive just fine....there is a reason they stopped making that motor.....they last!

 

That's a stylish little sweetie. I like that a lot. The paint job you could do on that.

 

Paint job?!?!? Hell no, drive it like it is. Now that's cool.

 

Like put a flat Clear Coat on it?

 

I would do a dull coat, it just would'nt look rite shiny

 

It's one of the few styles that lends itself to a nice 3-tone combination. No idea what colours, but it could be awesome.

I guess you could do light patina, medium patina and dark patina.

 

as crazy as it sounds, I'd just splash on some Thompsons water seal. I have a new respect for that suff

 

I'd love one of these little wagons....
You know you could get these in a "9-passenger"? Rear-facing 3rd seat was available.

I'd be real torn though on how to do it - original or 'fixed-up'. Love the Exner styling on these.

 

How would you ever get 9 people in Valiant?!!! Oh, I know, tell them you're chasing the Family Truckster to DisneyLand!

Some of the best styling came from Exner's team. They had a sense of proportion and practicality. My dad had all 5 of us kids climb into the trunk of the 1958 Imperial once with thick foam for a drive-in, and we had lots of room for the popcorn and cokes.
