    Looks like you cornered the market on the wagon scene! Question... in that first cabinet is that a proto type Vette wagon, or was that considered the Maco shark wagon? Very nice collection.
    Oh, also i believe you may be a member of the H.A.M.B, just by some of the items in your cabnets, and on the wall.

    Thanks for the kind words. The Corvette wagon was a model that I believe was made by MPC awhile back.I'm not sure as I bought it with a bunch of half assembled models at a garage sale.I rough put it together with the idea of finishing it someday but haven't had the chance.
    I do post on the HAMB as Safariknut.The plaque on the wall was one of two that Jeff Norwell gave me some time ago.We are good friends but unfortunately don't get together very often.I still have a custom tool box I made and auctioned off on the HAMB which he won;I think it has been in my shop for about 2 years now.
    The 57 Ford wagon below the Corvette was an ambulance(the siren is missing)and I got it from a friend who owns a body shop in my town.He got it brand new as a kid and had it displayed in his shop.I wound up doing some work for him in exchange for the car.
    I hope to get my shop cleaned out this spring so I can show all the vehicles in my collection.Several display cases are covered so you can't see them.I'm going to post a few more pics(non wagon stuff)if I can.

    Picked up a couple of old/new toys today at the antique shop.One is a metal hot rod called the Junk Pile and comes pre-dented with missing parts.
    The second one looks like a huge station wagon with a number of doors on the sides and twin rear axles.It is actually a fire engine missing it's ladder and is a bit warped but still cool.Both of them set me back $14.

    My newest find:a Marx station wagon and trailer.The trailer pulls out of the body and is springloaded.There is a toothed rack that engages a gear on the rear axle and propels the car forward until the trailer is returned to the normal position.It still works sporadically and was missing the front wheels.I made a set out of a couple faucet washers glued to a plastic wheel made of plastic rod and drilled.The axle is a piece of 2-56 threaded rod left over from another project.It was given to me by a friend.

    Teal blue wagon

    I love them all! I have been looking for a wagon with the stacked lights like your blue one. Any suggestions where I might find one?

    Thanks,- Mark '67 Ford Country Sedan:thumbs2:
