    I was in a friend's cube here at work and saw an old family picture. Great family picture..yadda yadda yadda, but I noticed that in the background is a beloved family hauler. I asked him what it was but he couldn't remember.

    I figured I could identify it within about 20 minutes at my computer with the help of google images. No such luck. (But if I don't know something, at least I know who to ask.) I"m sure someone here will need about 2 glances to tell me what it is because they have one, had one, or are looking for one. Me? I like Pontiac wagons and have had or looked at enough of those to be pretty positive what it isn't.

    Whaddaya think?

    See, I knew we could do it. I'm voting for 1961 (below). I had looked at 59,60, but stopped there.

    I believe you are correct. Hard to mistake that funky c-pillar and roofline.

    I'm a little late to this game, but the car parked behind the Rambler wagon is a 63 Oldsmobile.

    I think he tried to post a new pic, but the rest of us couldn't see it. I will assume its a picture with a garage.

    Never assume anything. There may not be a garage, or even a barn to find.

    Did it again. I see the little "IMG" box, but see no image. I think he's messing with my head.

    Yes, the wagon in the first photo in the garage is just like this one not in a garage.

    Not really a fan of Ramblers but that color is gorgeous! And it's good to see the car's in well-kept condition.
